Kaso vs PCSO directors, walang merito

MANILA, Philippines – Walang merito ang kasong isinampa ng Citizens Crime Watch laban sa board of directors ng Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office kaugnay sa operasyon ng small town lottery.

Ito ang binigyang-diin ni PCSO General Mana­ger Ferdinand Rojas II bilang reaksyon sa plunder charges na inihain sa kanila sa Ombudsman dahil umano sa mga anomalya sa STL operations.

Ipinaliwanag ni Rojas na ang lahat ng kanilang operasyon ay mahigpit na mino-monitor ng Go­vernance Commission for GOCC o GCG.

“We at the The PCSO board has introduced and put in place since 2010 reforms in the agency. This includes among others the different gaming activities such as the STL. The governance commission for goccs (GCG) has in fact closely monitored the performance of the board annually,” saad ni Rojas.

Kumpiyansa anya sila na agad ididismis ng Ombudsman ang kaso dahil sa kawalan ng merito.

“It can be considered as a malicious attempt to malign the board by people with vested interests,” diin pa ni Rojas.

Bukod kay Rojas, kasama sa 50-billion peso plunder case na inihain ng CCW sina Directors Francisco Manuel Joaquin III, Mabel Mamba, Betty Nantes at Remeliza Gatbuyo.
