Provincial board open to entry of new gambling project
THE Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Pangasinan looks and acts like it’s open to the idea of a government-sponsored Loterya ng Bayan (LNB).
A certain Rolando Dee, provincial coordinator of the Numbers Numbers Co., Inc., recently wrote the provincial board seeking the passage of a resolution recognizing the company to operate LNB on experimental basis in the entire province of Pangasinan.
Dee, a businessman from the town of Mangaldan, said in his letter that LNB is within the loop of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), a government agency that operates among others the country’s sweepstakes and the Philippine lotto.
Numbers Numbers Co., Inc., with office address at 7G Vernida Bldg, Amorsolo St., Makati City, is headed by Octavio S. Marasigan as president and chief executive officer.
Dee enclosed in his letter a proposed provincial resolution with its corresponding number already written, indicating his company is seeking fast action on his request.
The company proposed to provide alternative livelihood to collectors displaced by the sudden stop of jueteng.
Numbers Numbers Co., Inc., a PCSO-accredited company, is currently operating LNB in Makati City, and has manifested its desire to operate the same in Pangasinan.
The company stressed that LNB is anchored on Republic Act No. 1169, as amended by Batas Pambansa 42, which states that PCSO shall have the authority to hold and conduct charity sweepstakes races, lotteries and other similar activities, in such frequency and manner, as shall be determined and subjects to such rules and regulations by the Board of Directors.
