Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office board member Sandra Cam said she is ready to name high-ranking officials of agency who are allegedly involved in corruption.

Cam said she has incriminating evidence against these officials which she will present during a legislative probe on the PCSO.

“I don’t want to preempt the President in naming these people involved. So I have to wait for the upcoming Senate hearing and I am willing to name them with all the documents I kept,” Cam said in a television interview.

Cam confirmed that some of the corrupt officials are members of the PCSO’s Board of Directors.

The President on Tuesday stood firm on his decision to suspend the operations of the Small Town Lottery and Peryahan ng Bayan because of corruption.

“I said you can resume Lotto. [But] STL, Peryahan ng Bayan, all stealing. They steal money before they will remit,” he said.

Duterte previously ordered to shut down all gaming operations of the PCSO, including lotto, to purge the agency of “massive corruption.”

He approved the resumption of lotto operations after a four-day suspension, but the STL and Peryahan ng Bayan remain suspended pending investigation on allegations of corruption.

The Palace earlier said Duterte will name about 10 PCSO officials involved in a multi-billion-peso corruption scandal.
