The Supreme Court has allowed the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) to proceed with it’s P10.9-billion online lottery project. The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office may proceed with the bidding process for the Nationwide Online Lottery System for Luzon (NOLS),” the 20-page decision written by Associate Justice Marvic Leonen stated. ADVERTISEMENTThe high court lifted the writ of preliminary injunction (WPI) issued by the Makati Court against the bidding process for the nationwide online lottery system in Luzon. The ruling declared that PGMC does not have an exclusive contractual right to supply the online lottery system for Luzon. Pacific Online System Corp., on the other hand, handled the NOLS in Visayas and Mindanao, but the contracts also expired last July 31.
