1st Pagcor-funded evacuation facility in Bulacan inaugurated

A SPACIOUS state-of-the-art evacuation facility, funded by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor), was inaugurated on June 20, 2022, a year after its construction began.

The multipurpose evacuation structure, classified as a Scheme 2 building worth P29.7 million, is a basketball court-type evacuation facility complete with amenities such as comfort rooms, a stage area and bleachers. It is built in the city's Barangay Minuyan Proper, which is home to tens of thousands of urban poor relocatees from Metro Manila.
