The Philippine Star|November 04, 2024
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) is resuming its funding of the construction of public school buildings for the Department of Education (DepEd), which was stopped in 2016.
By RAINIER ALLAN RONDA

PAGCOR, DepEd and the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) signed on Oct. 23 a Joint Memorandum Circular for a multi-agency school building program that will include the construction of e-learning centers and health and wellness centers for DepEd.

Alejandro Tengco, PAGCOR CEO and chairman, said that they were making the program a flagship infrastructure project with a goal of completing at least 1,200 classrooms in the next four years for remote communities.

Aside from school buildings, Tengco said PAGCOR will also build 200 E-Learning Centers in areas with a high concentration of learning institutions.
