00:00 The Senate ordered the PCSO's highest official to follow the tension in listening to the plan to make lottery betting online.
00:10 Despite the decrease in the profits of physical lottery outlets, most of them have already closed.
00:16 The PCSO's answer is that the government's digitalization program is being followed.
00:21 And that's what Cedric Castillo is talking about.
00:27 You are fooling the people. No, no, no. In behalf of the people, you cannot fool us here.
00:35 Promise. Do we look stupid? Look at me eye to eye. Do I look stupid?
00:40 No, sir.
00:41 Do I look like a moron to you?
00:42 No, sir.
00:43 The Senate Committee on Games and Amusement Vice Chairman Senator Rafi Tulfo
00:49 is trying to fool the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office or PCSO in listening to the integrity of the job.
00:59 The discussion in the test run plan to make betting online is in the center.
01:05 The Senator asked how the profits of physical lottery outlets are.
01:10 These are programs for those who will lose their jobs and businesses.
01:15 Don't you have that kind of program?
01:17 Sir, how can we have one if it is still a test run, sir?
01:20 No.
01:21 Sir, with all due respect, we will not be able to know the full impact of an e-lotto if we do not conduct a test run.
01:28 That's why I will repeat. A, you say the test run is successful.
01:32 B, you say the revenue increased for several hundreds of millions or billions.
01:37 And C, let's continue. That's all.
01:41 You always say test run, test run, test run, test run.
01:44 How can you do this to us?
01:47 Despite this, PCSO insisted that there is no plan to phase out or replace e-lotto with lottery outlets.
01:55 But the lottery outlet owners are worried that this may be the end.
01:59 In fact, of the more than 8,000 outlets in the country, more than 300 did not close.
02:06 They're saying that the PCSO has to terminate their outlets because of low sales.
02:11 We will be phased out by the year 2026. We will not have our machines.
02:18 Your Honor, to our knowledge, there is no intention or plan to phase out or fix our e-lotto agents, sir.
02:30 Sir, this is very elementary.
02:34 Why would people line up for lottery outlets? They can just go to their cellphones.
02:42 It was also argued that why would e-lotto agent and electronic service provider be established in one company
02:49 while the physical lotto outlets could lose their profits for thousands of years.
02:55 The PCSO's official has nothing to say.
02:58 In a letter to the Senate, PCSO General Manager Mel Robles explained that e-lotto is in accordance with the digitalization program of the administration.
03:10 Aren't you thinking about PCSO? Is that the meaning of the digitalization program of the government?
03:17 That is to enhance government processes, how the people deal with the government.
03:25 Not to promote gambling using digital means. I was shocked by the letter from the GM.
03:34 We were able to talk to Robles on the cell phone but he refused to comment.
03:39 The Senate has discussed the dangers of online gambling in the development of e-sabong.
03:45 Aside from the issue of missing sabongero, Senator Bato de la Rosa also mentioned the people who are trapped here,
03:52 including a mother who sold her child for a loan because of e-sabong.
03:58 A baguitong police officer also used half a million pesos for the anti-drug operation.
04:06 To give more operational details of the e-lotto plan, the Senate has already appointed the PCSO's senior official.
04:16 For JMA Integrated News, Cedric Castillo, Nacatutok, 24 Hours.
