Lotto operations under the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) will now resume following the lifting of the suspension order on Tuesday evening.
This was the development relayed by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea in a statement shared to the media by presidential spokesperson Salvador Panelo.
According to the statement, only the lotto operations will resume.
“The rest of all gaming operations with franchises, licenses or permits granted by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), such as Small-Town Lottery (STL), Keno and Peryahan ng Bayan (PNB), shall remain suspended pending the investigation of illegal activities and corrupt practices related thereto until the Office of the President evaluates the results of said probe.”
