  • PAGCOR) Launched an Intensive Communication Campaign to Emphasize the Agency’S Contributions to the Government
    About the Cover In November 2018, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) launched an intensive communication campaign to emphasize the agency’s contributions to the government. The “PAG” campaign is anchored on the agency’s revenue-generating function which many people, Filipinos included, are not aware of. We used various media platforms to educate the general public about PAGCOR’s programs and to heighten public awareness about our noble goals. Many people associate PAGCOR with gaming and casinos. But while operating and regulating games of chance are among our core mandates, our important mission is to help build a strong nation. As we remit half of our income to the National Treasury, we have become one of the biggest revenue generators of the government. A sizeable portion is also allocated for the agency’s mandated beneficiaries and the privileged sectors of society. We were able to provide funds for our various mandated beneficiaries by regulating gaming and preventing the proliferation of illegal gambling in the Philippines. Most of all, the dedication, talent and commitment of employees to their work enabled PAGCOR to achieve greater heights. At the end of the day, our real mission is to serve the nation and help build a sustainable future for our country. #PAGsilbisabayan 3 HIS EXCELLENCY RODRIGO ROA DUTERTE President, Republic of the Philippines Annual Report 2018 CONTENTS 8-9 Corporate Profile ...................................................................................................................................................................................
