PAGCOR donates more emergency vehicles to local government units

Since February 2025, the agency has distributed 142 Patient Transport Vehicles.

The Philippines.- The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) has donated Patient Transport Vehicles (PTVs) to 12 local government units (LGUs). The latest beneficiaries are the municipalities of Calumpit (Bulacan), Baras (Rizal); New Bataan (Davao de Oro); Bugallon (Pangasinan); Toboso (Negros Occidental); Sultan Kudarat (Maguindanao del Norte); Burgos, Laoag, Bacarra, Sarrat, and Pasuquin (Ilocos Norte); and the City of Navotas.

Each PTV comes equipped with a GPS navigation system, ambulance stretcher, medical oxygen, wheelchair, and first aid kit.

Alejandro H. Tengco, PAGCOR chairman and CEO, said: “These vehicles are not merely means of transport. They are lifelines that can make the difference between life and death for those in need of urgent medical attention.”

New Bataan mayor Atty. Mar Bianca Cualing-Brua welcomed the donation following the recent series of strong earthquakes that affected Visayas and Mindanao. Toboso mayor Richard Jaojoco also expressed appreciation, highlighting the challenges of serving a far-flung municipality with limited access to hospitals.

Since February 2025, PAGCOR has distributed 142 Patient Transport Vehicles to LGUs and partner agencies nationwide, including 70 units turned over to the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) earlier this month.
