Wilma Eisma became the first female president and the COO of Pagcor

Isma Electric:

Alejandro Tengco, president of PAGCOR, said, "We are delighted to welcome Atty. As Wilma Eisma is PAGCOR's new chairman and COO, we know she will be a great asset, and her vast experience in both the government and the private sector will certainly be put to good use here."

After the oath, which also included Tengco, Eisma joined the company's board meeting for the first time in a new role.

She graduated from Ateno de Manila University with a degree in law. Before joining PAGCOR, she worked for the Philippine Development Bank, where she was a board member.

In addition, she served as the manager and chair of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), where she was also the first woman to do the job.

In addition, Eisma worked in the private sector. She was part of leadership at PMFTC Inc., an affiliate of Philip Morris International, located in the Philippines. In addition, she worked in the secretariat of the Ministry of Trade and Industry and the House of Representatives office of the majority leader.

PAGCOR Changes:

According to a report by Inside Asian Gaming, Atty held the position before Isma rose to the position of president and COO. Juanito Sanosa Jr. resigned in January, and served in the role for less than 18 months before resigning. 파워볼사이트

Wilma Izuma's appointment came shortly after Tengo announced that the Philippines had become one of the leading markets in the Asia-Pacific region. Currently, the Philippines still holds a strong second place in the region, just behind Macau, the industry leader. 

Pagcor has many plans for the future, the most important of which is the privatization that will take place in the fourth quarter of 2025. In the meantime, regulators have lowered taxes for game operators, and from March 2024, the tax has been set at 35%, drawing a warm welcome from operators currently in the Philippines. The company is also continuing its fight against illegal and offshore casino operators, which poses a real threat to casino operations in the Philippines.
