Congress lauded for supporting STL

STATE gaming agency Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) on Thursday lauded the support expressed by lawmakers to its efforts to expand Small Town Lottery (STL) operations as a means to eradicate illegal numbers games in the country.

“There might be illegal activities on the ground but with our efforts to strengthen and expand STL, lawmakers can be assured that we are gaining ground against illegal gambling and numbers operations, which deprive the government of its much-needed revenue,” PCSO General Manager Alexander Balutan said.
