PAGCOR, indisputably one of the Philippines’ top corporations, has always been known for the glitz of its casinos, on the one hand, and its numerous charity works, on the other.With this corporate blog (and the reinvigorated PAGCOR website), PAGCOR breaks the enigma and shows its readiness to interconnect with the rest of the digital world.
Thanks, in part, to our top management whose unwavering support for this online endeavor.

The PAGCOR blog seeks to be a prime information source for the general public on little known facts about the local gaming industry, and beyond. A few of the things you can read here: PAGCOR job openings, training for a career in the casino industry, what it is like to be a casino dealer, the other types of entertainment that can be enjoyed in the casino, apart from trying one’s luck in blackjack. Perhaps, you’re curious to know how to play poker or win a round in slots.

For the longest time, people thought that the gaming business is all about the rich throwing away their money in fancy VIP casino rooms and chandelier-lit hotels like there’s no tomorrow.
But as the years passed, gaming has become a vehicle for tourism and economic development of progressive countries in the world like the US, Australia, Singapore and Macau. Where there is gaming, there are jobs generated and booming economic activity.
In the Philippines, the state-owned Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) is not only instrumental in spurring economic growth through higher tourist influx and enhanced economic activity. PAGCOR is also the government’s staunch partner in reaching out to the less-privileged sectors of society.
Besides its contributions to the national government and other mandated beneficiaries, PAGCOR strives to touch the lives of more Filipinos by putting corporate social responsibility at the core of the organization’s existence. Here’s a sneak peek of how the state-run gaming firm brings basic social services closer to the Filipino masses:
Health services and relief missions
PAGCOR partners with various government and non-government agencies in delivering basic services to marginalized communities through service and medical mission caravans and provision of medical supplies to low-income households.

The Corporation also provides immediate response to victims of calamity and natural disasters. When the locals of Iligan City and Cagayan de Oro lost their homes and loved ones to flash floods in December last year, PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Cristino Naguiat, Jr. immediately ordered the release of a P2 million financial aid for the victims. Similarly, the state-owned gaming firm reached out to hundreds of families affected by the landslide in Compostela Valley early this year by providing basic needs like food, medicines and potable water for the victims.
Defeating malnutrition
PAGCOR subsidizes the nutritional needs of underweight children from community-based day care centers and public elementary schools nationwide through a supplemental feeding program, which is conducted in partnership with the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) and the DepEd.

The program, which has been in place since 2008, has helped thousands of children battling with malnutrition, achieve their ideal weight. Monitoring reports show that from underweight status, a big majority of the recipients gained normal body mass index, after the four-month feeding session.
