MAMBURAO, Occidental Mindoro – The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) inaugurated on Friday, February 28, the province’s first PAGCOR-funded socio-civic center here.
The two-story building, built through a Php50 million funding from the state gaming agency, will benefit residents of Mamburao’s 15 barangays as well as those from neighboring municipalities.
Occidental Mindoro Governor Eduardo B. Gadiano, who led the unveiling of the facility together with PAGCOR VP for Corporate Social Responsibility Ramon Stephen R. Villaflor, expressed gratitude for the project and emphasized its use beyond serving as an evacuation center during calamities.
“We are deeply grateful to PAGCOR for bringing the first socio-civic center to Occidental Mindoro,” he said. “This facility will greatly support various community initiatives and will provide a safe refuge during severe weather conditions.”
The governor said the socio-civic center can also help generate additional revenue streams for the provincial government.
“When not used as a venue for socio-civic events and as an evacuation facility during calamities, we can rent out this space to individuals and organizations and generate revenues for the building’s maintenance,” Gadiano added.
PAGCOR’s Villaflor, meanwhile, underscored the agency’s commitment to community development and nation-building.
“This socio-civic center project is a testament to PAGCOR’s commitment to contribute to nation-building,” he said.
“It is also our response to the call of the people from Occidental Mindoro to have a facility that will not only serve as a shelter during calamities but also as a venue for community development and fundraising efforts.”
To date, PAGCOR has completed and inaugurated 45 socio-civic centers nationwide, with 28 more facilities nearing completion.
