The Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) formally opened the second leg of the 2024 PAGCOR Photography Contest Exhibit on Wednesday, November 6, at The Grove at Newport Mall in Pasay City.

Held in partnership with Newport World Resorts (NWR), the exhibit features the 48 grand finalists of the PAGCOR 2024 photo contest to give the public a creative glimpse into the countryā€™s bountiful harvest season.

With the theme ā€œHarvest Time,ā€ PAGCORā€™s photo competition this year captured the beauty and richness of the Philippinesā€™ agricultural resources, and the hard work of Filipino farmers, growers, and fishermen through the lens of talented photographers.

ā€œThese 48 grand finalists from our recently concluded photo contest are the ones that stood out from over 4,000 photo entries that we received,ā€ said PAGCOR Chairman and CEO Alejandro H. Tengco who graced the eventā€™s ribbon-cutting ceremony.

ā€œEach photo on display here is a testament to the incredible talent and creativity of Filipino photographers,ā€ he said.

ā€œThe goal of this annual photo contest is to encourage not only professional and seasoned photographers to participate but also to push budding photography enthusiasts to explore their talents, celebrate their creativity, and showcase the countryā€™s unique character, beauty and traditions using photography as a medium,ā€ Mr. Tengco added.

The PAGCOR chief was joined in the ceremony by NWR Chairman Kevin Tan and NWR President and CEO Nilo Thaddeus Rodriguez.

For his part, Rodriguez said that hosting the exhibit for the winning pieces of PAGCORā€™s 2024 Photography contest is an honor for NWR.

ā€œWe at Newport World Resorts have long been advocates of Filipino talent and showcasing the best of the Philippines throughout our properties and our signature brand of service,ā€ he said.

During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, Mr. Tengco also announced PAGCORā€™s photo contest theme for next year: Infrastructure for Economic Development.

ā€œOur theme for next yearā€™s photo contest aims to highlight the vital role of the countryā€™s major infrastructure projects ā€“ such as highways, roads, bridges, air, and seaports, among others ā€“ as catalysts for the nationā€™s economic growth and prosperity,ā€ he said.

The NWR exhibit, which will run until January 6, 2025, also features the ā€œExpert Photographers Speakā€, a photo appreciation session with seasoned lensmen Jijo de Guzman and Jay Jallorina.

De Guzmanā€™s lecture, ā€œVision and Voiceā€, will be held on November 21 while Jallorinaā€™s talk, ā€œBuild, Build Captureā€, will highlight advanced techniques for photographing cityscapes and infrastructure and will be held on December 6.

Ā 

In a move towards modernising Indiaā€™s lottery sector, the state of Goa has introduced an entirely online lottery platform, sanctioned by the Directorate of Small Savings and Lotteries. This initiative, known as Great Goa Games, aims to bring transparency and convenience to an industry that has long grappled with allegations of mismanagement and fraud.

Ticket sales commenced Monday, with the inaugural draw set for Sunday. Rhiti Group, led by founder Arun Pandey, was granted the license to operate and market the platform. ā€œOur mission is to democratize opportunities through technology,ā€ Pandey stated, emphasizing the secure and user-friendly nature of the app-based system.

Goa government official Narayan Gad lauded the move as a step forward for the Indian lottery sector. ā€œWith our online lottery streamlining processes through technology, we are setting a new standard in the lottery industry,ā€ Gad remarked. ā€œThe technology-based product will enhance transparency and ensure improved monitoring and regulation of operations.ā€

This development follows new rules governing online lotteries, introduced by the Goa directorate in February 2023. Currently, 13 states in India, including Goa, allow lottery games, though others have banned them due to concerns over gambling addiction and operational irregularities.
