PCSO: Close ‘peryahan’ in Bacolod

BACOLOD CITY: The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) ordered the closure of a lottery outlet here on Monday but the team sent to implement the order did not have the proper documents to enforce it.

Manuel Fraginal Sr., PCSO executive assistant and concurrent head of Inter-Branch Security Monitoring, said the Peryahan Draw Center on Burgos and Lacson streets in this city is “no longer authorized, thus [its operation is] illegal.”
