PCSO, nakapagtala ng marka sa taong 2017

IPINAHAYAG ng Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) na nakapagtala ang ahensiya ng record high on sales revenue na P47 bilyon sa kabuuan ng taong 2017, mas mataas ng 32% porsiyento sa naitala noong 2016. “We are very happy to announce that PCSO was able to generate 11Billion pesos more than what the Agency was able to generate last year. And we are very positive that we will be able to reach our 51 Billion sales revenue target by the end 2017”, pahayag ni PCSO Chairperson Jose Jorge Corpuz.

Bilang mandato, ang 55% ng sales revenue ng PCSO ay napunta bilang premyo sa mga nagwagi sa lahat ng PCSO ganes, habang ang 30% ay ginamit sa charity programs, projects and activities ng ahensiya at ang 15% ang ginagamit sa gastusin sa operations.

“From January to November of this year, 61 lucky citizens became instant millionaires by playing the nationwide lottery games of PCSO. A total amount of 11.16 Billion pesos was also set aside to pay the prizes for all our game winners this year,” pahayag ni PCSO General Manager Alexander Balutan.

Ang mga premyong hindi nakuha matapos ang itinakdang isang taon mula nang tamaan ang premyo ay isinasama sa Agency’s Charity Fund na gingamit bilang pagsuporta at pagbibigay ng

medical, health at charitable services ng PCSO, kabilang ang Individual Medical Assistance Program (IMAP), Ambulance Donation Program, outpatient consultation services, medical and dental mission, medicine donation, calamity assistance, at iba pa.

Kabuuang P7,026,901,528 ang naipamigay sa 356,520 IMAP patients mula January hanggang November 2017 kumpara sa 269,312 IMAP beneficiaries sa taong 2016. Naitala rin ng PCSO Charity Sector ang 56 government and private hospitals na may operational PCSO ASAP Desks nationwide, habang may 32 pang hospitals ang nakatakdang mabigyan.

“It is sad to see that over the Holiday Season, our countrymen in the Visayas and Mindanao have been badly affected by typhoons. To answer the needs of our kababayans in those areas, PCSO already allocated 10 Million pesos for the victims of Urduja and we also have plans to give 5.4 Million pesos as calamity assistance to the areas affected by typhoon Vinta. These efforts will be facilitated by our Charity and Branch Operations Sectors, through the help of our Branch Offices in Visayas and Mindanao,” pahayag ni Balutan.

“We also target to open 8 more provincial Branch Offices in 2018 so that by 2022 our 81 branch offices will all be ready to serve you,” aniya.
