The PCSO general manager in an interview revealed that Cam and Ang tried but failed to get the approval of the agency for Ang’s STL bid. The PCSO general manager said Ang offered P200 million per month to the PCSO if it agreed to allow him to operate STL nationwide. “I cannot allow a notorious gambling lord like him (Ang) to meddle into the affairs of PCSO. I told them President Duterte doesn’t like a gambling lord to lord over PCSO’s lottery games,” Balutan added. The PCSO general manager assured the public that the money spent in the event were all accounted for and was even approved by the Budget department and the PCSO board.
