SANTIAGO CITY, Isabela: The Sahara Games and Amusement Philippines Corp. (SGAPC) authorized by Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) to operate the Small Town Lottery (STL) numbers game in this province has admitted that its daily collection plunged by at least 46 percent this month, mainly because of a plan by another group composed of political allies and relatives of Gov. Rodolfo Albano 3rd to take over the operation.
