PHILIPPINE Amusement and Gaming Corp. (Pagcor) Chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco disclosed the new management's plans to focus more on the agency's regulatory role, expand the agency's reach, and contribute more to nation-building.

During the opening of the Asean Gaming Summit in Marriott Manila, where Tengco was the keynote speaker, the Pagcor chief explained that under his term, the management hopes to privatize the state-run gaming firm's self-operated casinos nationwide.
