A RESOLUTION ON THE ESTABLISHMENT OF PHILIPPINE CHARITY SWEEPSTAKES OFFICE (PCSO) OF ITS SMALL TOWN LOTTERY PROJECT IN THE CITY OF OLONGAPO

WHEREAS, the City of Olongapo has been declared as a jueteng free environment due to incessant drive by the authorities against the proliferation of the illegal numbers game;

WHEREAS, these former “kubradors” and “cabos” who were displaced by the successful eradication of the illegal numbers game may be provided with an alternative livelihood such as the Small Town Lottery (STL) which is a numbers game sanctioned by the PCSO;

WHEREAS, the operation of Small Town Lottery will augment the City’s revenue due to a certain percentage accruing the coffers of the local government which can be utilized for the purpose of realizing its various programs and projects;

WHEREAS, the establishment of STL will further enhance peace and order situation as a certain percentage will go directly to the local Philippine National Police;

WHEREAS, the institution of STL will also promote the various programs of the PCSO in its campaign to help alleviate poverty;

WHEREAS, the Liga ng mga Barangay of Olongapo City passed a Resolution requesting the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) to establish a small town lottery project in the City of Olongapo bearing in mind the benefits it will provide in the lives of the constituents;
