The Philippines.- The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has held an awards ceremony in Pasay City for its 2025 Photography Contest.

Alejandro Tengco, PAGCOR chairman and CEO, said: “Your extraordinary talent shows us that Filipino creativity is world-class. While PAGCOR’s primary duty is regulation, revenue generation, and tourism promotion, we are equally proud of advocacies like this that nurture talent and give Filipinos the platform they deserve.”

Tengco added that this year’s photo contest theme “reminds us that infrastructure is not just concrete and steel, but lifelines of progress that connect families, fuel industries, and open doors to opportunities.”

Eight winners in the Conventional Category received PHP100.000 (US$1,753), while the 16 winners from the Mobile and Drone categories received PHP50.000 (US$877) each.
