The PCSO should contribute in generating funds for the country’s fight against the COVID-19 by having interactive mobile lottery games. | NAMercadoINQ
Ong said the PCSO can deploy interactive and mobile apps where people can play Sweepstakes, Scratch-it and other forms of lotteries.
Transactions can be done using payments schemes such as credit cards, Paypal and virtual wallets like G-Cash, SmartCash, PayMaya and WeChat, the lawmaker said. The lawmaker said that the government is losing P3.75 Billion per month or P125 Million per day after PCSO stopped its operations in compliance with the imposition of the enhanced community quarantine in the Luzon region.
“Even if we can only generate half of the P3.75 Billion monthly revenue of the PCSO, we will be able to provide adequate relief of a lot of communities especially in areas which are on full lockdown. Let us be realistic about the ECQ. Most of the people take their chances outside their homes because they have no food to eat,” Ong said.
President Rodrigo Duterte has placed all of Luzon under an enhanced community quarantine in March as the number of people infected with the new virus swells. The lockdown was supposed to end mid-April but Duterte extended it until April 30.
