Ping Lacson Statement about closing PCSO

If the intention is to stop gambling altogether, then all forms of gambling, including the PAGCOR-regulated games like casinos and online should have been included.

Since it doesn’t appear that way, then lotto outlets should have been spared since there are no reports of revenue cheating as far as lotto operations are concerned because they are computerized and automated and therefore closely monitored – unlike STL where PCSO, for millions of reasons, has consistently resisted to make it more transparent and foolproof.

Ito na ang pinakamalaking jackpot prize na naitala sa kasaysayan ng PCSO at unang pagkakataon na umabot sa P1bilyon ang j...
