At a ceremony held on November 22 at the PAGCOR Executive Office in New Coast Manila, DOJ undersecretary Atty. Irene de Torres-Alogoc said: “We were surprised by PAGCOR’s high success rate. We hope to have more (success) because when there are disputes in an agency, it is hard to work. It affects the productivity of the office itself,” she said.
