The investigation into the alleged corruption in the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) will be fair and impartial, Malacañang said Thursday.
Presidential Spokesman Salvador Panelo made the assurance amid allegations some small town lottery operators supposedly allied with President Duterte did not properly remit revenues to the PCSO.
Asked about the possible collusion of STL operators with some PCSO officials, Panelo said the Palace would wait for the findings of the investigation. “Our position always is if you have any complaint against any particular employee or any person relative to the commission of any crime, violation of law, then file. Make a formal complaint,” he said.
