The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) has increased its revenue collections and widened its charity services to Filipinos especially those living in remote areas, General Manager Alexander Balutan said on Tuesday. “We have increased our revenues, [the number of]our branches, services and especially the number of beneficiaries since we assumed office under President Duterte,” he said. Under the Duterte administration, the PCSO increased its revenues after it expanded its STL operations to 92 Authorized Agent Corporations (80 are now operational) nationwide that now earn P1.5 billion a month. “The expansion of STL operations this year has helped us increase our revenues which benefit thousands of people seeking medical assistance from the PCSO,” Balutan noted. “There will be also testimonies from beneficiaries of PCSO’s medical services,” Balutan said.
