CEBU, Philippines — The Casino Filipino Cebu turned over P4 million to Cebu City, representing the city’s revenue share for June 2025 and marking a renewed commitment to collaborative community-building between the gaming institution and the administration of Mayor Nestor Archival.
According to a report from the City’s Public Information Office, the P4 million turnover will be channeled toward priority initiatives in healthcare, education, and urban renewal, in line with Archival’s broader agenda of making public services more accessible and resilient.
Archival’s administration also aims to establish mechanisms for transparency and community feedback to ensure that revenue-sharing agreements would evolve into results-driven programs.
Casino Filipino’s Visayas-Mindanao Cluster General Manager Ma. Consolacion Abad Pasion, highlighted shared interests in social services, grassroots empowerment, and sustainable initiatives.
The exchange of ideas during the meeting went beyond fiscal matters, laying the groundwork for a broader partnership that aligned with Archival’s vision of inclusive and transformative governance.
“This isn’t just about remittance — it’s about possibilities,” Archival said.
Joining the recent meeting were Casino Filipino-Cebu Acting Branch Manager Dinna Yap Diesmos and Senior Branch Administrative Manager for Administration and Finance Cherryl Pelayo-Dacua, which signalled serious intent to design future programs in collaboration with the city government.
“We’re optimistic about working together to build a better and more inclusive Cebu City, one where public and private sectors jointly respond to the needs of our people,” Archival added.
The meeting marked the first official engagement between Casino Filipino Cebu and Archival since he assumed office, with both sides expressing commitment to sustained dialogue and project development in the months ahead. — /JG (FREEMAN)
