Bong Go MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang on Monday said President Rodrigo Duterte’s investigation of corruption in the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) would be swift, holding out hope of an early return of the agency’s gaming operations that he ordered closed during the weekend. The shutdown has left thousands of small investors suddenly out of business and their employees without jobs. As of Monday, police had padlocked 30,284 PCSO gaming outlets. Presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo gave assurance of an early conclusion to the investigation, noting that the President worked fast and wanted to get to the bottom of a “grand conspiracy” in the PCSO that led him to order the immediate closure of lotto, small town lottery (STL), Peryahan ng Bayan and Keno.

Arrest of STL operator pits governor vs police chief in South Cotabato

KORONADAL CITY–The bid to resume small town lottery (STL) operations in South Cotabato province triggered a rift on Wednesday, Sept. 26, between Gov. Reynaldo Tamayo Jr. and Col. Joel Limson, the provincial police commander. Tamayo and Limson traded barbs over the arrest of Walter Ozaeta, a small town lottery (STL) operator known by his alias Mike Macalindong who happened to be facing charges of kidnapping in Batangas province. The governor ordered Ozaeta’s arrest following their Sept. 19 meeting at the governor’s satellite office in Tupi, the governor’s hometown, after Tamayo learned about Ozaeta’s case from a local official in Batangas. Tamayo accused the police chief, Limson, of “not doing his homework.” “He should have conducted a background check,” said the governor. “This guy has a warrant of arrest for kidnapping,” Tamayo said in Filipino. Ozaeta, 35, resident of San Jose town, Batangas province, had been endorsed to Tamayo by Limson, paving the way for a discussion on...
