The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) said it has tweaked its “Bingo for A Cause’’ program to help local government units (LGUs) and non-government organizations (NGOs) raise more funds for their socio-civic programs.

PAGCOR Assistant Vice President Maria Teresa Ocampo said the state gaming agency has approved new packages that will allow LGUs and NGOs to earn as much as 50% share from proceeds of bingo events to be conducted with PAGCOR.

“The revised bingo package will give our partners the option to sell tickets from as low as Php100 to Php1,000 each, depending on the package that they choose,” she said. “The proceeds will even go higher depending on their ticket sales.”

Ocampo, who heads PAGCOR’s Bingo Department, said the ‘Bingo for A Cause’ project will also allow communities and organizations to enjoy the fun and thrill of bingo games in a lawful way while contributing to worthy causes.

“Like any game of chance, only PAGCOR has the mandate to authorize bingo activities, hence bingo games without PAGCOR’s permission are illegal,” she said.

“We thus remind our partner communities and organizations to first coordinate with PAGCOR’s Bingo Department if they plan to organize bingo events and explore partnership opportunities with us,” she added.

Hello there! I'm a 21-year-old university student majoring in Finnish and Korean Language and Literature. I have a deep passion for art and a profound connection to the natural world. My journey through life has been a colorful one, driven by my love for creativity, music, and the wonders of the great outdoors. As a dedicated student, I've already earned a degree in Classic Cantos, a testament to my appreciation for the timeless beauty of classical music. Beyond the classroom, my artistic spirit thrives through my love for painting and drawing. These creative outlets allow me to express my thoughts and emotions, transforming blank canvases into vibrant stories. My interests go far beyond music and art. Singing, playing the piano, and exploring new melodies are integral parts of my life, providing me with both solace and exhilaration. When I'm not immersed in the world of art and music, I find solace in nature's embrace. My heart is drawn to animals and the serene beauty of the natural world, fueling my desire to protect and preserve our precious environment.
