It doesn’t take a genius to predict that several government corporations and agencies will still be suffering from downward-spiraling revenues and smaller earnings this 2021. If the COVID pandemic was hopefully seen as a flutter to 2020 targets, and much was made of buckling down and absorbing the blows in 2020, and that 2021 would see a steady climb back, those sort of prognostications have been thrown out with yesterday’s trash. For at least the first half of 2021 (just a month and a half away), the shadow of COVID and some form of quarantine will still be looming, affecting us all.

Good news to all Laguna and Batangas residents who are often displaced by typhoons and other extreme weather conditions.
The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has provided P50 million each to the local government units of San Pablo City in Laguna and the town of Lobo in Batangas for the construction of their own Multi-Purpose Evacuation Center (MPEC).

PAGCOR, in a statement, said that VMMC sought its assistance to construct a two-storey halfway house or dormitory for the families and watchers of soldiers confined in the hospital.
VMMC Public Relations Unit Chief Juanito Montefalcon on Feb. 24 personally received the check from PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Andrea Domingo, who was joined in the brief turnover rites by the agency’s President and COO Alfredo Lim and Directors Carmen Pedrosa and Reynaldo Concordia.
The proposed halfway house was originally planned to be a three-storey structure, but VMMC Director Dr. Dominador Chiong, Jr. said that they instead decided to build a two-storey building due to the issue of height elevation.
