PAGCOR pours aid to typhoon-battered areas in Central Luzon
After the onslaught of Typhoon Egay and Typhoon Falcon in various parts of Central and Northern Luzon, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) came to the aid of more than 31,000 families in typhoon-hit areas of Bulacan and Pampanga.
From August 5 to 7, 2023, PAGCOR delivered food and non-food packs that include rice, canned goods, bottled water, and hygiene essentials to nine local government units (LGUs) in said provinces, which were placed under state of calamity.
In the province of Bulacan alone, the state-run gaming and regulatory firm turned over a total of 12,000 food and non-food packs to families in the flooded municipalities of San Rafael, Calumpit, and Obando, Malolos City and the 5th district of Bulacan.
According to Reyce De Vera, Assistant District Officer of the 3rd District of Bulacan, 7,700 families from the 3rd district alone were reeling from the impact of heavy flooding in their areas. Among the towns submerged in floods, which received aid from PAGCOR were San Rafael, San Ildefonso, San Miguel, and Doña Remedios Trinidad.
Meanwhile, PAGCOR donated a total of 17,500 food and non-food packs to the affected communities in Pampanga. Of this number, 5,000 food packs and 1,500 non-food packs were provided to the Provincial Government; 6,000 food packs to 2nd District; 3,000 food and non-food packs to the local government of Candaba; and 2,000 for distribution to other affected areas in Central Luzon.
Candaba’s Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officer II Galen Gumabon expressed gratitude to PAGCOR for extending assistance to the families displaced by the typhoons.
Adding to the list of recipients was OFW Party List, which received 1,500 food and 1,000 non-food relief packs for distribution to affected communities.
Prior to the relief missions in Pampanga and Bulacan, PAGCOR distributed close to 30,000 food and non-food packs amounting to P17 million to the provinces of Ilocos Sur, Ilocos Norte, Bulacan, Abra, and Baguio City.
According to the latest report from the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC), more than 800,000 families or 3 million individuals from Central and Northern Luzon were affected by the onslaught of Typhoon Egay and Typhoon Falcon, while the damage in agriculture sector has reached P2.9 billion.
F*Bastards says its casino content is now available through more than 400 operators worldwide, marking a distribution milestone for the iGaming supplier as it continues to expand its portfolio and partner network.
In a company statement outlining its background, Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas said the team’s earlier attempt to build a game studio fell short due to positioning rather than production capability. “Looking back, we realised we weren’t missing talent. We were missing identity. We could build games, but we hadn’t built something people could remember. That lesson became the starting point for everything F*Bastards would later become.” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.
The company said it intentionally built its brand around differentiation, including the decision to use the name F*Bastards despite the expectation it would split opinion among potential partners. The founders described early progress as incremental, driven by game releases, industry events, operator feedback and relationship-building, rather than a single breakout moment.
F*Bastards also pointed to a fundraising milestone in 2026, saying it secured its first seven-figure investment. The company positioned the round as validation of execution rather than an early-stage concept.
“From day one, the goal wasn’t to become the biggest supplier. It was to build something people would remember. We’ve come a long way, but in many ways, it still feels like we’re only getting started” says Co-Founder Ugnius Seskas.
