MEDICAL / DENTAL MISSIONS

PAGCOR reaches out to the indigent and impoverished by providing free medical and dental services via its medical missions. In cooperation with volunteer doctors, nurses and health workers, PAGCOR has served more than 12,600 beneficiaries from August 2010 to January 2011 nationwide.

These missions, which are mostly conducted in depressed areas and those battered by calamities, aim to bring government closer to its constituents by providing basic health services.

DISASTER / RELIEF OPERATIONS

In times of calamities, PAGCOR is always ready to give assistance through its outreach operations. Victims of disasters such as fires, typhoons and floods are provided relief goods, medicines and other items that are needed.

From July 2010 to January 2011, PAGCOR distributed 7,550 relief packs in various locations in the Philippines. In January 2011, PAGCOR donated more than 500 cavans of rice to the flood victims of Eastern Samar, Agusan del Sur and Sorsogon.

PAGCOR FEEDING PROGRAM

PAGCOR, in coordination with the Department of Social Welfare and Development and the Department of Education, developed the PAGCOR Feeding Program to supplement existing government feeding programs and help address the worsening malnutrition situation in the country. Together with partner school-beneficiaries, the program provides balanced meals to undernourished children from targeted day-care centers and public elementary schools in selected areas.

From November 2010 up to February 2011, PAGCOR has subsidized almost 5,000 underweight schoolchildren. Since its inception in 2008, about 25,000 undernourished schoolchildren have benefited from the program.

SUPPORT TO THE KAPITBISIG SA ILOG PASIG

PAGCOR expressed support to the KapitBisig sa Ilog Pasig (KBPIP), a project spearheaded by the ABS-CBN Foundation, together with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Pasig Rehabilitation Commission.

This project aims to rehabilitate and clean the Pasig River from 2009-2015, with the Estero de Paco as its pilot site.

CONVERSION OF USED SLOT MACHINE STANDS TO SCHOOL DESKS

For the past 25 years, PAGCOR has integrated various corporate social responsibility programs in its operations as a way of reaching out to our less privileged countrymen.

In line with this, the Community Relations and Services Department undertakes various projects to promote education. One such project is the conversion of used slot machine stands to school desks for donation to different public schools.

Presently, a total of 460 (2-seater and 3-seater) desk units are ready to be delivered to our first batch of school recipients in Cavite. Students from the Bayan Luma II Elementary School in Imus and Gahak-Marulas Elementary School in Kawit will be enjoying their PAGCOR-provided school desks come June 2011.

PAGCOR LIAISON ACTIVITIES

In collaboration with concerned departments, the Community Relations and Services Department (CRSD) provides and conveys PAGCOR's corporate objectives and social initiatives to opinion leaders in public service.

Along with this, CRSD assists top management during PAGCOR's attendance in Senate and Congressional hearings. Congressional initiatives that impact on PAGCOR's corporate goals are analyzed and brought to management's attention for decision making.
