PAGCOR holds mall exhibit for 2024 photo contest winning entries

Manila: Winning entries of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation’s (PAGCOR) 2024 Photography Competition are now on display at the MET Live Mall in Pasay City to give the public a chance to see and appreciate them.

The photo exhibit will run until Oct. 14 to give the public a unique perspective into the country’s bountiful harvest season, which is the theme of PAGCOR’s photo contest this year.

‘Through this photo exhibit, we give more people the opportunity to appreciate up close the photo entries from all over the country that made it to the grand finals, and eventually the top 24 spots that made up this year’s grand winners,’ PAGCOR chairman and chief executive officer Alejandro Tengco said in a news release on Thursday.

‘This photo exhibit also gives aspiring Filipino lensmen and hobbyists a chance to learn about the inspiration behind these winning entries as well as the work, talent, creativity and technical skills that made these photos stand out from the thousand others,’ Tengco added.
