The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation provided P100,000 to each of the families of the five rescue workers in Malolos, Bulacan who perished in the line of duty during the onslaught of super typhoon "Karding" last week.

The agency gave the cash aid in recognition of the heroism of Narciso Calayag Jr., Jerson Resurreccion, Marby Bartolome, George Agustin and Troy Justin Agustin — who all drowned in floodwater while performing rescue duties on 25 September.

PAGCOR also partnered with the Bridges of Benevolent Initiative Foundation Inc. — the charitable arm of The Midori Clark Casino operated by BB International Leisure and Resort Development Corp. — in relief operations for the typhoon victims in the provinces of Bulacan and Pampanga.

Residents recipients in the the towns of San Miguel and Sto. Niño, Pampanga received 400 and 150 food relief packs, respectively, while a total of 300 families in Hagonoy, Bulacan, were also provided relief items.
