“We are happy to welcome Atty. Wilma Eisma as PAGCOR’s new President and COO,” said PAGCOR Chairman and CEO, Alejandro Tengco. “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.”
Tengco said he witnessed Eisma’s oath-taking in Malacanang on Thursday morning before she joined her first PAGCOR Board meeting in the afternoon as the agency’s first ever female President and COO.
According to information from the regulator, Eisma earned her law degree from the Ateneo de Manila University and was a member of the Board of Directors of the Development Bank of the Philippines before joining the state gaming firm.
