Sotto said the main problem lies within the small-town lottery operations, adding that the lotto operation “has no issue at all.”

“We’re expecting it because of all the events being handled by PCSO or games, if you may call it that, it is the lotto that has no issue at all. Malinaw ‘yung income, prizes kung saan saan napupunta. Malinaw ‘yun eh so ‘yun ang pinaka walang problema,” Sotto said. “Talagang malaki problema dun sa mga may hawak ng franchise nung mga STL, yung mga ganun. Andudun ang problema na nakikita natin so we were expecting that the lotto will be exempted from the suspension,” he added.“Kailangan i-scrutinize mabuti. Kung gusto ng gobyerno ituloy pa rin yung STL at yung iba pang mga games of chance ng PCSO, i-scrutinize na lang ng mabuti. Higpitan ang pagbibigay ng franchise, higpitan yung mga ika nga eh nakakakuha ng permit or franchise sa kanila.
