MANILA, Philippines — President Rodrigo Duterte should have excluded lotto from his decision to pull the plug on games operated by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) because there was no allegation that lotto operators were shortchanging the government, Sen. Panfilo Lacson said on Sunday as the government defended the shock order that saw the police shutter 21,000 lottery stations across the country.
