LUCENA CITY - An official of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) in Quezon urged authorities to stop the resurgence of illegal “bookies” of government-run Small Town Lottery (STL) in different parts of the province because, she said, it robs charity funds for the poor. “If the proliferation of these illegal bookies would go on unabated, our source of funds for the poor will be greatly affected. These bookies are robbing the money that is intended to help the indigents,” Leti Renomeron, PCSO-Quezon branch manager, told the CPW in an interview.
