MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco today defended his agency’s new logo, explaining the symbolism of the highly-controversial graphic.

In a statement, Tengco said the new logo represents energy, inspiration, passion and transformation, and symbolizes change and progress. He describes it as a beacon and guiding light that helps people find their way.

Well said, Chairman Tengco. Rest assured that Filipinos will find their way to casinos, Bingo halls and other venues that offer poker, electronic games, e-sabong and offshore gaming.
