Pagcor will continue to give cash aid but ‘no touch’

MANILA, Philippines —  The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) will continue to assist people seeking medical assistance but has implemented a “no-contact” policy when receiving requests for aid as a precautionary measure against the coronavirus disease 2019.

Among the requirements are: a signed request letter addressed to Pagcor chair Andrea Domingo, patient’s medical abstract, social case study, a certified true copy of guarantee letter or index card from the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office, valid IDs and contact numbers.
