PCSO GM Garma conveyed her message of appreciation to all who have gathered in
the event. GM Garma quoted “Hinihikayat namin ang mga munisipyo na tumangkilik sa aming mga gaming products tulad ng STL para mas lalo kaming makatulong sa inyo hindi lang tulong medikal pati na rin sa dagdag trabaho sa inyong kababayan, tulong sa komunidad at makilala kayo bilang isang responsable na munisipyo na hindi tumatangkilik ng mga illegal na laro.” She also thanked all the people who have acquired all PCSO products especially to the Small Town Lottery (STL).
A large amount of PCSO’s revenue emerged from the STL income. Because of this revenue, PCSO has provided charity services to its clientele such as the MTV and Medical Assistance Program (MAP).
The more income or revenue PCSO generates, the more opportunities the agency can provide medically and health related programs to the Filipino people.
