SCENIC LAGUNA TOWN GETS SOCIO-CIVIC CENTER FROM PAGCOR

The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) formally inaugurated on Friday, March 21, 2025, its 49th socio-civic center in this town that is expected to benefit more than 2,000 residents.
The Php50 million facility built in Barangay San Isidro can also serve 22 neighboring barangays in Luisiana, also known as the “Little Baguio of Laguna.â
The two-story structure will function as a community hub and an evacuation center during emergencies. It features common restrooms on both floors, a multipurpose open area, dining halls, a kitchen, a first-aid room, storage spaces and a breastfeeding room.
Luisiana Mayor Jomapher Uy Alvarez underscored the facilityâs role in the townâs development as the local government prepares for the reconstruction of its municipal hall.
“We are sincerely grateful for the timely completion of this socio-civic center which will be highly beneficial to our town,â he said.
âOur municipal hall has aged significantly, and with its planned reconstruction in 2025, this socio civic facility will serve as a crucial extension for local government operations,” Alvarez noted.
Sangguniang Barangay Member Joseph Pedron for his part emphasized the facilityâs dual purpose for the community.
âThis PAGCOR-funded socio-civic center will be a tremendous help to us,â he said. âIt can accommodate evacuees in times of calamities, and given its well-built infrastructure, it can also generate income for our barangay and municipality,â he said.
Meanwhile, PAGCOR Assistant Vice President for Community Relations and Services Eric Balcos, who graced the facilityâs inauguration, urged the residents to take responsibility for maintaining the building to ensure its long-term use.
“We ask that the community take good care of this center as if it were their own home so that future generations of Luisiana residents can continue to benefit from it,” Mr. Balcos said.
