MANILA: Braving heavy rains and floods, the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) provided timely relief goods to several communities affected by the combined impacts of Tropical Storm Enteng and the southwest monsoon this week. Over 5,500 families received food and non-food packs during PAGCOR's relief operations on Sept. 2 and 3. The food packs contained rice, canned goods, and grocery items while the non-food packs included mosquito nets and toiletries. On Monday, PAGCOR delivered relief items to the local governments of San Pedro, Laguna, and Bacoor in Cavite. Both cities experienced severe flooding due to continuous heavy rains. The following day, the agency extended assistance to affected residents in San Mateo, Rizal. PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco said part of the agency's nation-building commitment is the provision of timely relief goods to victims of natural disasters. 'The typhoon season is here again. Unfortunately, many families who live in disaster-prone communit ies are in a very vulnerable situation,' he said in a news release on Wednesday. 'Part of our social responsibility commitment is to help ease their plight by providing them with immediate aid like food and other essentials,' he added. He added that the agency's relief efforts for areas affected by Tropical Storm Enteng will continue as more communities in Luzon and Metro Manila seek out the state gaming firm's help.
