PAGCOR-FUNDED MULTI-PURPOSE FACILITY BREAKS GROUND IN MISAMIS ORIENTAL
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) led the groundbreaking of a basketball court-type multi-purpose evacuation center (MPEC) in a calamity-prone town here.
The groundbreaking activity, held on April 28, 2023, formally marked the construction of the P12.7 million emergency structure in Barangay Cabubuhan, which has long been suffering from the aftermath of natural calamities. The town lacks temporary shelters that would accommodate displaced families and individuals during disaster situations.
According to PAGCOR Corporate Social Responsibility Group Vice President Ramon Stephen Villaflor, who graced the groundbreaking ceremonies, the construction of an evacuation facility in Barangay Cabubuhan will help alleviate the plight of the residents in case fortuitous events happen in the future.
“We recognize the importance of having safe and dependable evacuation centers in communities that are prone to natural disasters. As we join the ceremonial groundbreaking of this new multi-purpose evacuation center, we are honored to have answered the call for help of the residents of Magsaysay,” Villaflor said.
The PAGCOR basketball court-type MPEC will complement the existing evacuation building of the town, which only has a size of two standard classrooms. Most of the time, the local government unit utilizes public schools as temporary shelters during emergencies.
Magsaysay Municipal Mayor Charlie Buhisan said the new facility will greatly benefit the 43,000 locals, as coping with the harsh impact of various calamities has always been a struggle for them.
“Definitely, talagang kinakailangan itong PAGCOR MPEC na ito dahil palaging binabaha ang mga residente namin dito. Napaka-stretegic din ng location ng structure na itatayo dahil malayo sa Linugos River na laging umaapaw kapag walang humpay ang ulan. Gaya noong December, ang mga eskwelahan ang ginamit namin bilang evacuation center. Kaya’t malaki ang pasasalamat namin sa PAGCOR na nabigyan kami ng pagkakataong mabigyan ng evacuation center dito sa Magsaysay,” he explained.
Twenty-two-year-old mother Wendy Encarguez, who has been used to staying in cramped temporary shelters with her family whenever they need to flee their home, expressed relief that they will soon have a more comfortable place to stay during emergency events.
“Madalas po na problema namin dito ay ang pagtaas ng tubig sa may tulay. Kapag po kasi umuulan umaapaw ang tubig sa ilog at minsan po lumalampas-tao ang taas ng tubig. Pumapasok na din sa mga bahay-bahay at may mga oras na nawa-wash-out po ang mga bahay. Hindi lang din po mataas na tubig nangyayari kapag bumabaha dito, umaalon din po ang tubig kaya sobrang delikado po talaga kapag hindi kami nag e-evacuate. At sa evacuation center naman po medyo nagsisiksikan kami at kapagka napupuno, nauuwi kami sa mga eskwelahan,” Encarguez said.
Currently, a total of 27 MPECs have been completed, while 50 are still under construction.#

Scotland-Founded AyeGaming Group Debuts as a Home for Industry Collaboration

A new grassroots digital community initiative, the AyeGaming Group, has been launched on LinkedIn with a clear purpose: to bring people across land-based and online gambling together in an honest, inclusive, and supportive space.
Founded in Scotland by respected industry figures, the AyeGaming Group is already drawing interest from across the iGaming world for its warm approach and people-first mission. The group welcomes professionals from all backgrounds, including operators, suppliers, affiliates, consultants, and creatives, all who believe in shaping a better future for the industry by putting the community at its heart.
The initiative is the brainchild of three passionate advocates for the gambling industry, including co-founders Jennifer Innes, CEO of BettingJobs, and Elaine Gardiner, Managing Director of TAG Media. Together, they’ve created a space where kindred spirits can connect for business and belonging.
“I wanted to be part of driving something locally within the iGaming industry. There truly are so many wonderful people in the sector who either live in Scotland or have relocated to one of the many other global iGaming hubs. Creating a dedicated time and space for us to connect in the form of the AyeGaming meet-up feels important – this is a big, global industry, but it can seem far less imposing when we all come together. It also gives us a chance to reflect on and recognise the impact our Scottish voices have across the iGaming industry as a whole.” said Jennifer Innes.
Elaine Gardiner added: “Jennifer and I have known each other for over 17 years, just as long as I’ve been in the industry. Back in January, we bumped into each other on a flight from Scotland to Barcelona, heading to ICE with a few other industry folks. That’s when we knew it was time to set the wheels in motion for a Scottish gaming meet-up. I’m excited it’s finally coming together and looking forward to meeting more people from across the industry.”
Built on a foundation of Scottish values of fairness, humour and humility, the AyeGaming Group offers something refreshingly human in an industry dominated by deal-making and fast growth.
The group’s first in-person event, the Wee AyeGaming Meet-Up, will occur on Thursday, June 19, at the National Piping Centre in Glasgow. The event promises informal networking, shared stories, and genuine connection in a setting rich with Scottish tradition.
Attendees can expect:
- Informal but meaningful conversations
- Insights from industry leaders across land-based and iGaming
- A warm, inclusive atmosphere to meet kindred spirits
- And, of course, a wee dram and the sound of the pipes
The AyeGaming Group is open to anyone who shares its values, whether based in Glasgow, Gibraltar, Buenos Aires, or elsewhere.
