The Philippine Amusement &amp; Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR) stands by its new agency logo, PAGCOR chief Alejandro Tengco said on Monday, July 17.
In a media interview, Tengco said the majority of its employees are in favor of the new emblem.
&ldquo;I will be honest with you. I am not affected at all,&rdquo; said Tengco.
When asked if he was disappointed by the reactions of some netizens, he said &ldquo;We made a good decision and yung decision na iyon ay paninidigan namin. That is a management prerogative."
The new PAGCOR logo earlier drew criticism for its P3-million price tag and for its design that resembles a flame with shades of blue and red, which according to netizens, looked like the logo of an oil company
Tengco defended that the amount was used to create a new logo and produce other materials.
&ldquo;Hindi lamang P3 million yung logo lang. There are so many other deliverables granted from the designer tulad (ng) like manuals,&rdquo; Tengco explained.
&ldquo;Mali yung pag-iisip na yung 3 milyon para sa logo lang. (Pero) merong mga aral na ginawa at maraming gamit din ang kailangan pang asikasuhin yung designer,&rdquo; he said.
Around 45 PAGCOR properties will display and make use of the logo.
Pagcor unveiled its new logo during the agency's 40th-anniversary celebration on July 11.&nbsp;
The negative responses to the new logo spurred requests for an investigation in the House of Representatives.
