The five-story watchers' dormitory, which received P53.22 million funding from Pagcor, features 35 rooms and 124 beds.
It is equipped with kitchens, dining areas, caregiver quarters, and other amenities to provide a comfortable haven for families of confined patients.
Pagcor Chairman and CEO Alejandro Tengco, who led the inauguration, said the project is a demonstration of the state gaming agency's unwavering support for the country's armed personnel.
"This is not just a corporate social responsibility initiative for Pagcor; it is a heartfelt gesture of gratitude to our brave soldiers who selflessly dedicate their lives to serving our nation," Tengco said.

Prior to the dormitory's construction, AFPMC could only offer a single-story resting area with limited ventilation for watchers, according to AFPMC Commander Brig. Gen. Jonna Dalaguit.
With the inauguration of the new dormitory, Dalaguit highlighted the meaningful impact of the collaboration between Pagcor and the AFP.
