On the PCSO's Problem with Corruption

When the regular jueteng collections of at least PhP200 million a day or PhP73 billion a year in the NCR, CAR and Regions 1 to 5 alone translate to a mere PhP4 billion income for the PCSO from Small Town Lottery (STL) operations, a big chunk of which is not even in cash remittances but recorded as collectibles, we do not need an Albert Einstein to figure out how much goes to the individual pockets of STL franchise holders, corrupt politicians, policemen and PCSO officials.

No matter how many congressional hearings are conducted, the palms of these people continue to be greased by gambling money.

The fact is, illegal jueteng merely masquerades as legitimate STL operations, 7 days a week, without fail, whose "kubrador" are armed with PCSO IDs to avoid arrest by the police who may be co-opted anyways.
