The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) has
been described as the government's charity arm. It performs its work with
integrity, competence and professionalism. The PCSO was created by President
Manuel L. Quezon with his approval of Act 4130 in March 1935 to replace the
National Charity Sweepstakes.
In its humanitarian mission, the agency
engaged in charitable work with the Philippine Amateur Athletic Federation, the
Philippine Tuberculosis Society and the Federation of Women's Clubs among the
first beneficiaries.
In September 1979 a new law was approved by the
Batasang Pambansa raising the PCSO's charity fund from 25 percent to 30 percent
of its net sales and reserving 55 percent for the prize fund and 15 percent for
its operating expenses.
Its primary goals are to finance health programs,
render medical assistance and services to the disadvantaged sectors of society
and perform charitable work. It is also mandated to develop community health
care in regional hospitals throughout the country through TB, cancer and
dialysis centers.
Faced with mounting health care commitments, the PCSO was
allowed to introduce new games, such as lotteries and lotto. This enabled it to
expand its services to victims of natural and man-made disasters such as the
Pinatubo eruption, the Ormoc disaster and the Ozone fire tragedy.
The PCSO
is mandated to perform its mission with a deep sense of accountability and
transparency in all its transactions.
In January 1995, a new equipment lease was signed with
Malaysia's Berjaya Sports Toto Berhad.
