The Philippine Amusement and Gaming and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor) poured much-needed assistance to thousands of locals in Northern Iloilo, Occidental and Oriental Mindoro who are still reeling from the aftermath of Typhoon Ursula, which struck on Christmas day. Recently, Pagcor’s relief operations team brought food and non-food items to the far-flung towns of Balasan, Batad, Estancia and Carles in Northern Iloilo. The state-run gaming firm also delivered relief packs to hundreds of needy families in Gigantes Island in Carles town, whose homes were ravaged by the storm. Aside from Iloilo, the agency also distributed 2,250 relief packs to the towns of San Jose, Calintaan and Rizal in Occidental Mindoro. Likewise, 750 relief packs were given away in Bulalacao, Oriental Mindoro.
