State-run Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) on Thursday welcomed lawyer Wilma Eisma as its new president and chief operating officer who took her oath of office before Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin in Malacanang.

“We are happy to welcome Atty. Wilma Eisma as PAGCOR’s new president and COO,” chairman Alejandro Tengco said.

“We know she will be a great asset, and her vast experience in both the government and private sectors will surely be put to good use here,” said Tengco.

Eisma immediately joined her first PAGCOR board meeting in the afternoon as the agency’s first woman president and COO.

Eisma served as the first woman administrator and chairman of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority.
