PAGCOR’s emergency facility formally opens in flood-prone Pangasinan town
Every time typhoons and other extreme weather conditions would ravage the northern part of the country, locals of this flood-prone coastal town would scurry to find a safe haven where they can seek shelter for a few days.
On November 11, 2022, the town’s lack of emergency facility has been addressed after the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) formally inaugurated its Multi-Purpose Evacuation Center (MPEC) in Barangay Pangapisan here.
The inauguration of the P50 million two-storey emergency facility, which boasts of state-of-the-art amenities such as kitchen and storage areas, toilet and shower rooms for male and female, and lactating rooms for nursing mothers, among others, was a welcome development for thousands of families in said municipality.
Sixty two-year-old fisherman Jose Sison, Sr. is one of the locals who has experienced first-hand the life-threatening dangers of flashfloods in their community. He lamented that such flashfloods do not only after their livelihood but also their lives. Unfortunately, the local government does not have enough evacuation facility for them.
During the recent Typhoon Paeng, which devastated many communities in different parts of the country, Sison and other older individuals remained in their village to guard their homes and properties, while the children were sent to an evacuation facility.
Lingayen Mayor Leopoldo Bataoil, who joined key PAGCOR officers in the inauguration of the MPEC building, expressed his gratitude to the agency for funding the construction of a much-needed facility in their town.
“We are grateful to our brothers and sisters in PAGCOR for making this project possible,” he enthused.
To date, a total of 16 MPECs have already been completed in different areas nationwide.

It’s time to speed up AI: Slotegrator presented new exciting solutions at iGB L!ve 2023
A new era in the iGaming industry has begun: AI-powered solutions are now becoming affordable. Slotegrator presented the new AI-powered capabilities of its turnkey online casino platform at iGB L!ve 2023 in Amsterdam.
Every year, Slotegrator presents its newest innovations at iGB L!ve. This year, the company added several new features to its turnkey online casino platform, basing the additions on the results of internal customer research and global market analysis.
Upcoming trends are a constant source of speculation in the iGaming industry. As an industry trendsetter itself, Slotegrator knows what to bet on; last year, the company predicted rapid AI growth, and these capabilities have already been integrated into the company’s solutions.
The upgrades include:
- The business intelligence (BI) module has become an Artificial BI module. Now it not only helps operators track the analytical data they need to make strategic decisions, but allows them to compare their project with others that operate in the same market. It’s an effective tool for analyzing competitors’ activities and to improve the entire business strategy.
- ChatGPT was integrated to offer operators 24/7 business consultation. While the strategy will ultimately be up to the casino operator, ChatGPT’s capacity to offer advice can prove invaluable.
- Fraud Detection (for collecting Big Data to reduce risk) with AI makes it easy for casino operators to set the parameters of what constitutes potentially fraudulent behavior and then segment players accordingly and take action when necessary.
Also, Slotegrator integrated a multiplayer chat function – an effective retention tool that emphasizes the value of live communication and offers opportunities for networking and creating player communities. The solution will see the addition of AI capabilities as well.
“This is just the first set of innovations. We are planning to use AI to boost our platform even further. The industry standards are changing, so the market can’t afford to use old tools now. Our participation in iGB L!ve 2023 demonstrated this completely,” says Dmytro Taran, COO at Slotegrator.
