To date, 19 MPECs have been built and inaugurated by PAGCOR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
The Philippines.- The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has announced that it has unveiled a newly constructed two-storey multi-purpose evacuation centre (MPEC) in Milaor, Camarines Sur. According to Milaor mayor Anthony R. Reyes<\/strong>, the facility will keep constituents safe during typhoons and other extreme weather conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The town of Milaor, one of the communities in Camarines Sur, suffers from severe flooding whenever a strong typhoon hits the Bicol area. Reyes, who led the inauguration ceremony with PAGCOR and local government officials, said: “Our kababayans [townmates] now have a spacious and comfortable place to temporarily stay whenever their safety is compromised during typhoons and heavy flooding. <\/p>\n\n\n\n “More importantly, with this MPEC facility built by PAGCOR, we can now rest easy knowing that we now have a sturdy evacuation structure in Milaor that can be used in times of disasters.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to PAGCOR, 19 MPECs have been built and inaugurated across the country while 57 are still being built.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A month ago, it was revealed that PAGCOR would have to contribute 10 per cent of gross gaming revenue (GGR)<\/a> to the recently created Maharlika Investment Fund (MIF). There has been renewed debate on whether to separate PAGCOR\u2019s dual functions<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" To date, 19 MPECs have been built and inaugurated by PAGCOR.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":176,"featured_media":34644,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"is_press_release":false,"is_interview":false,"is_opinion":false,"focusai_summary":"The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has inaugurated a multi-purpose evacuation centre, part of its corporate social responsibility initiatives.
