“It is my hope that this anniversary will inspire you to continue setting new standards and keep being at the forefront of an industry that is not only financially successful, but also socially impactful and most importantly, socially relevant,” President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. expressed as he recognized the invaluable contributions of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) in the country’s development through impactful socio-economic projects anchored in the Administration’s commitment to improve the lives of Filipinos.

Speaking during the 40th anniversary celebration of PAGCOR, the President emphasized the crucial role of the Agency in redefining public service as it continues to implement programs and initiatives that changed the landscapes of nation building.

PAGCOR announced various plans that will contribute to the infrastructure development in the country, such as construction of the first-ever Clark Multi-Specialty Medical Center in Pampanga and other projects like school buildings, e-learning centers, community wellness and socio-civic centers.

“Certainly, PAGCOR has made an indelible mark in our society with its undeniable contribution in nation building. I also know that there are still plenty more chapters that are yet to be written and are to be accomplished,” he conveyed.

The Chief Executive urged PAGCOR to continuously carry out their mandate and remain a partner of the government in fulfilling the Administration’s development programs and initiatives for the benefit of every Filipino.

“May you remain a shining example of what it means to be workers at PAGCOR – individuals who stand firm in their dedication to service, excellence and integrity and who are determined to leave their mark not only in the gaming industry, but in our society as well,” President Marcos Jr. ended in his message.
