Tengco said: “This project is truly remarkable because it is being constructed at no cost to the Philippine government. It stands as proof that the gaming industry – when properly regulated and responsibly managed – can be a strong partner in nation-building.”

He added: “We are optimistic that through this future Center for Leadership Excellence, we will not only help strengthen the PMAAAI as an institution but also help empower the Armed Forces and support our men and women in uniform.”
