Highlighting its support for health tourism and the wellness economy, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) joined various agencies and stakeholders at this yearโ€™s Health & Wellness Conference and Expo (HWONFEX 2026) held at the SMX Convention Center.

Representing Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco, Dr. Janice Saraza, Officer-in-Charge of PAGCORโ€™s Health Services and Wellness Department, highlighted the agencyโ€™s contributions and initiatives in promoting the countryโ€™s tourism and health and wellness industries.

She said that while PAGCOR may be known primarily as a gaming regulator, its contribution to the country extends far beyond gaming.

โ€œPAGCOR remains committed to help strengthen Philippine tourism, promote the well-being of our people, and contribute to inclusive economic growth.โ€

PAGCOR has taken note of concerns raised on social media regarding the authenticity of some finalists in the 2026 PAGCOR Photography Contest.

The 48 finalists were selected from nearly 3,500 entries nationwide through the contestโ€™s established screening and judging process.

Similar to previous competitions, this yearโ€™s entries were evaluated by a distinguished panel of respected professionals from the fields of photography and media.

PAGCOR places a premium on fairness and the integrity of the competition.

Hence, we are conducting a more thorough review of all the entries in light of the concerns raised, particularly on the use of artificial intelligence and digital manipulation.

This additional review is intended to ensure that all entries are compliant with the contest rules and that every participant is afforded a fair and level playing field.

PAGCOR will act on any verified findings in accordance with contest rules.

We thank the participating photographers and the public for their interest in the competition.

Rest assured that PAGCOR remains committed to a fair, credible and transparent process before the announcement of this yearโ€™s winners on September 15.

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) on Wednesday, August 19, brought relief goods to Bulacan and Pampanga as part of the agency's continuing assistance to communities hit by the southwest monsoon (habagat) and recent tropical cyclones.

PAGCOR delivered 500 food packs and 500 non-food packs to the municipalities of Hagonoy and Bulakan in Bulacan, while 1,500 food packs and 1,500 non-food packs were distributed to affected communities in Pampangaโ€™s 2nd District.

The assistance is part of PAGCORโ€™s larger allocation of 11,000 relief packs for flood-affected communities in the two provinces.

Hagonoy, a low-lying municipality that serves as a catch basin for floodwaters, is among the areas severely affected by heavy rains brought by the habagat.

โ€œSalamat po sa PAGCOR at kay Chairman Alejandro Tengco na hindi po binibigo ang bayan ng Hagonoy. Malaking bagay po ito para sa ating mga kababayan,โ€ said Hagonoy Mayor Maria Rosario C. Alvarado.

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) lent its full support to the community outreach program conducted by the Association of Independent Licensed Gaming and Amusement Operators (AILGAO) on Saturday, August 15, at the Jose Rizal Coliseum in Calamba, Laguna.

The activity was part of the groupโ€™s 10th anniversary celebration.

PAGCOR donated assorted medicines, including vitamins and medications for cough, colds, fever, diabetes, and hypertension, for 250 beneficiaries from the Barangays Halang, Pansol, and La Mesa, all in Calamba.

The outreach also provided free medical consultations and laboratory tests, a feeding program, PhilHealth YAKAP assistance, and other services for residents.

AILGAO President Rafael A. Tabora thanked PAGCOR Chairman Alejandro H. Tengco and the agency for its continued support, noting that the partnership could make possible the provision of similar assistance to more communities in the future.
