The Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO), in coordination with the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR), has distributed construction materials and relief goods to thousands of Typhoon Nina victims in the Bicol Region.

As part of its corporate social responsibility initiative, the POGO team led by committee chairman Atty. Jose Tria distributed over 40,000 pieces of galvanized iron sheets and close to 50,000 food packs to residents of Albay, Catanduanes, Camarines Sur and Naga City.
