00:00 The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office or PCSO will also be looking at their services.

00:05 This is also thanks to their strong Lotto Games,

00:08 where this year, there are some things that our countrymen should be aware of.

00:12 Not only here in the Philippines, but also abroad.

00:15 Find out what those are in the exclusive coverage of Alan Francisco.

00:20 Retired Judge, Former President of the Philippine Judges Association,

00:27 and serving acting member of the Board of Directors of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office.

00:32 He is the former retired Judge Felix Reyes,

00:36 who is now a chairman of the Board of Directors of PCSO.

00:39 In an exclusive interview with PTV, he said that he is proud to be a lawyer.

00:45 In PCSO, there are many legal issues that come up.

00:50 And maybe my experience, as a long-time practitioner,

00:54 I also became a prosecutor and a judge,

00:57 these are the things that I will use.

00:59 Reyes laid out the program of PCSO,

01:02 led by General Manager Mel Robles.

01:05 First here, is the launching of electronic or lottery in July.

01:10 Betors can use this to help PCSO's application or app.

01:14 At the moment, we are about to finish the test run period.

01:18 We are just waiting for the official approval of the Office of the President.

01:25 And when that happens, maybe by July,

01:30 we will officially be able to use this betting platform through their servers.

01:38 Because of this, overseas Filipino workers from other countries can also participate.

01:44 It is also ensured that the number of betors will increase.

01:47 Many are saying that you should really think of a way to have an online betting.

01:54 So that even if we experience bad things again during the pandemic,

01:59 you can also have a way to avoid losing your PCSO earnings.

02:04 PCSO has just announced that minors cannot register,

02:10 especially those who are in the process of winning prizes.

02:14 In October, PCSO launched the lottery billionaire.

02:18 Here, the 100 pesos bet can be worth a billion pesos.

02:23 Yes, because at the moment, our biggest prize is the 658, which is worth 50 million,

02:29 for the 20 pesos bet.

02:31 For the 100 pesos bet, the initial pot will be 1 billion.

02:35 And this will increase as time goes by.

02:39 We hope that this will bring in a lot of revenue and a lot of help to people.

02:46 Chairman Reyes also promised transparency on their new programs.

02:51 We will get a third-party audit that will ensure for us

03:00 that all our activities as web application betting platform providers will be transparent.

03:11 PCSO is not just a simple lottery ticket, because its mission is to help Filipinos.

03:18 PCSO mandates us, the agency that allows the lottery.

03:26 And as a return, we are also ordering to return this to our people

03:33 through the medical assistance program.

03:38 For example, for hospitalizations, for all those who need chemotherapy, dialysis,

03:44 we are also providing medical assistance.

03:48 We also have a lot of agencies that are giving us help.
