MANILA, Philippines — Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) board director Sandra Cam should resign instead of virtually challenging President Duterte to remove her from her post after publicly declaring that corruption prevails in the agency, Malacañang said yesterday. “She does not have to wait for her relief by the President. She can tender her resignation if she cannot stand the alleged corruption within the PCSO,” presidential spokesman Salvador Panelo said. The chief presidential legal counsel also asked Cam to file charges and submit proof of her allegations before the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC), which is under the Office of the President, against certain PCSO officials she accused of corruption “so it would be acted on accordingly.”The President will order a full-blown investigation as soon as formal charges are filed, Panelo said. Panelo assured the public that Duterte remains serious in the campaign against corruption.
