But to be able to immediately assume the duties left by Concordia, Bondoc was sworn into office by an official in Barangay Pinagkaisahan in Quezon City on Wednesday, Sept. 15, according to Pagcor.

Bondoc said that while his main function will be to fill-in the shoes of the late Pagoc director, his new position “will help him provide more support to the current programs and initiatives of the Pagcor management.”
