With the shared vision of promoting Horse Racing Sports Tourism and PCSO’s gaming products in the country, the PHILRACOM and the PCSO agreed to create a joint advertising and publicity promotion by co-sponsoring various races and maximizing the different avenues of marketing and advertisement in order to promote various
races and PCSO’s games including its gaming products while at the same time generate government funds for various projects.

We hope we could help more people with our programs and activities like this” he said.
On the other hand, PHILRACOM Chairman De Leon expressed his sincere gratitude saying “Thank you PCSO, it is our great pleasure to welcome GM Mel Robles, the new GM of PCSO. In other countries, horse racing is considered sports tourism so we want to do the same here in the Philippines. Two or Three years from now, it will be called sports tourism industry and of course we would like to have PCSO as our partner. Marami pong Salamat.” (By: Jerwin Palo Nohay / Photos by: Justin B.
