The Philippines.-\u00a0<\/strong>The\u00a0Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR)<\/strong>\u00a0has inaugurated a new civic centre in Bataan. The two-story structure was constructed with a PHP50m (US$872.500) grant from PAGCOR and was completed last August. Since then, it has been used as a learning facility for students at Governor Efren B. Pascual Sr. Orani Integrated Central School (GEPS-OICS) to replace makeshift classrooms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

School principal Ariel Valencia<\/strong> said, “The PAGCOR Socio-Civic Centre serves as a temporary solution to our classroom shortage problem. \u201cNow, our Grade 11 and Grade 12 students are holding classes in spacious and comfortable learning spaces, positively impacting their performance.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n
