Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) General Manager Alexander Balutan has accused former Jueteng bagwoman-turned-whistleblower Sandra Cam of “creating havoc” within the said office by raising “baseless corruption allegations.”
Balutan made the pronouncement as he bared that Cam in December requested for 1,700 sacks of rice for a “Christmas gift giving program” in Metro Manila.
“I rejected it because the PCSO Charter does not allow this unless these areas she wants to give support or aid are under a state of calamity. The request which she endorses to me was not even presented for discussion in a board meeting. Saan ko naman kukunin ang sako-sakong bigas at groceries na ‘yan na ibibigay niya sa mga residente ng Metro Manila [Where would I get the sacks of rice and groceries that would be given to Metro Manila residents]?” Balutan said.
“Wala na siyang maibato kaya kung ano-ano na lamang ang pinagsasabi para lamang maging running story sa media ang pagngangawa niya. Haharapin naming siya sa proper forum [Cam no longer has any allegations, which is why she is rambling just so she becomes a running story in the media. We will face her in the proper forum,” Balutan said.
