SiGMA Asia achieves headline success in Manila

The SiGMA Asia Summit in Manila, was nothing short of a sensational success making headlines and an incise industry impact as it hosted over 12,000 delegates in the Philippine capital’s largest convention centre, the SMX.

A national influence

The eagerly anticipated event was most notably endorsed by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) a highly influential agency in the Southeast Asian nation’s gaming industry.

An objective SiGMA Group has brought to fruition in hosting this Summit was to bring our vast network in the West to the most influential and significant forces within the Philippine and Asian sectors.

Presented with a gifted portrait from SiGMA in recognition of PAGCOR’s inspirational support of the event, the Chairman also took to the stage to give an opening keynote address.

Beginning by expressing gratitude for all the hard work he inherited as Chairman of the corporation, Tengco brought an abundance of local industry insights in the form of PAGCOR’s plans for the future.

He stated:

“Engagements like this are an effective platform to communicate the organisation’s drive to revitalise the gaming sector in the Philippines. Ensure integrity of gaming industry, seamlessness in curbing illegal gaming operations.”

Tengco touched on numerous aspects of PAGCOR’s plans, such as the upgrade and revisiting of regulations and the accompanying regulatory manuals, new project launches, revenue efforts to sustain nation-building projects by the government of the Philippines as well as the landmark shift of the organisation to purely regulatory duties.
