Lacson Bill: PCSO Patitibayin pa sa Pagtulong sa Mahihirap

Ibayo pang kapangyarihan para makapag-impok ng pondong pantulong sa mga mahihirap na mamamayan sa bansa ang nakatakdang matamasa ng Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) sa ilalim ng panukalang isinulong ni Senador Panfilo Lacson.

Batay sa nilalaman ng Senate Bill 1470 na inihain ni Lacson, magiging pangunahing mandato na ng PCSO ang pangangalap ng pondo para sa pangmedikal na alalay sa mga mahihirap na mamamayan ng bansa kaya paiiksin na rin ang pangalan ng ahensiya.

Mula sa umiiral na PCSO, tatanggalin na ang salitang “sweepstakes” kung kaya’t sa ilalim ng panukala, ang ahensiya ay tatagurian nang Philippine Charity Office (PCO) dahil sa nabanggit na prayoridad nito.
