CEBU CITY The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO)-Cebu has appealed to the police and other law enforcement units to intensify the campaign against illegal numbers games.
In a recent 10-day operation, at least 18 persons were arrested after they were caught selling number combinations in lottery booths not authorized by PCSO.
But for Glen Jesus Rada, PCSO-Cebu Branch manager, the number of arrests was dismal considering how rampant the illegal numbers game has become in the city.
“We are thankful to the police for the 10-day operation but the 18 arrests are very minimal. Based on the information that we received from the barangays, there are still more people operating unauthorized lottery booths,” Rada told reporters in a teleconference Wednesday.
