A remark made by Rep. Elpidio Barzaga at a Games and Amusements Committee hearing of the House of Representatives, of which he is the chairman, about unclaimed Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) Lotto prizes spurred a recent frenzy of suggestions on how to spend the funds.
At least two solons—Rep. Winston Castelo and Rep. Evelina Escudero—have filed proposed house bills on reallocating the unclaimed Lotto prizes.
Castelo’s HB No. 5257 seeks to transfer the funds to the Department of Social Work and Development. From the statements he has made to the media, Castelo refers to Rep. Barzaga’s remark and seems to have gone from there without checking PCSO’s charter or making inquiries with PCSO as to what is done with the funds.
The context of Barzaga’s remark is this: the Games Committee had been investigating the matter of the ironed Lotto ticket of Antonio Mendoza, who is claiming the jackpot prize of the 2 Oct. 2014 Lotto 6/42 draw. In the course of the inquiry, Barzaga requested PCSO to submit various Lotto-related data, including the amount of unclaimed prizes from 2006 to 2013, which amounted to P3 billion.
As a PCSO staffer, I attended all the Games Committee meetings related to this matter and I recall that the PCSO directors present at that particular meeting explained that unclaimed prizes revert to the agency’s Charity Fund after a year in accordance with PCSO’s founding charter, Republic Act No. 1169. However, this seems to have gone unheard and unnoticed.
