Solon questions why two firms have lock-down on PCSO supply contracts for 24 yrs 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Ellson QuismorioA House leader is asking Congress to probe the contracts entered into by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) with the Philippine Gaming Management Corporation under Berjaya Corporation (PGMC-Berjaya) and the Pacific Online Systems Corporation (Pacific Online) for its National Online Lottery System (NOLS). It should be noted that the parent firm of PGMC-Berjaya is Berjaya Corporation Berhad–a Malaysian public limited company. Ong said the Senate, at that time, recommended to the PSCO that it renegotiate the rental fee with both PGMC-Berjaya and Pacific Online. PCSO again had a failure of bidding for the PLS last July 2019 and had to resort to another extension of ELA with PGMC-Berjaya and Pacific Online until 2020.
