President Rodrigo Duterte to stop all betting formats of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office , including the highly popular lotto.
Hundreds of PCSO gaming outlets employing thousands of workers had closed as a result of Duterte’s order. Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III said although his department has nothing to do with the operations of PCSO or should be involved in it, it was ready to provide emergency employment which would depend on how many displaced workers needed it.
In an ambush interview, Assistant Labor Secretary Benjo Benavidez said the department has yet to receive a report from the PCSO on how many employees lost their jobs as a result of Duterte’s order. Benavidez said he believed the PCSO is still capable of paying the salaries of its employees. He said he reckoned it would be like the case of workers in Boracay who applied for assistance two months before the resort island’s closure for rehabilitation.Benavidez said the PCSO should continue to pay the salaries of its workers despite the order of Duterte.Read NextThe comments uploaded on this site do not necessarily represent or reflect the views of management and owner of Cebudailynews.
