The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) has achieved an impressive performance scorecard rating of 92.5% for CY 2022, as assessed by the Governance Commission for Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations (GCG).
This is a significant milestone for the agency, reflecting five years of hard work to meet its performance targets.
After a thorough validation by the GCG, the PCSO exceeded most of its targets set last year, particularly in gross revenue/sales, collection efficiency, and budget utilization.
These achievements have contributed to the agency’s high rating.
The Agency’s score of 92 % in 2022 is a huge leap of 34% compared to its 2021 score of 56%.
GM Mel Robles expressed gratitude to PCSO employees for their unwavering commitment and challenged them to continue striving for excellence and exploring greater possibilities.
He stressed the importance of working together, supporting one another, and achieving more significant milestones.
Additionally, the PCSO has shown a solid commitment to rationalizing the use of charity funds, improving process efficiency, maintaining ISO certification, and ensuring the timely distribution of mandatory contributions.
These efforts have further contributed to its high-performance scorecard rating.
In 2022, the PCSO surpassed its annual sales target of P 46.1 billion by 125%.
It generated gross receipts of P57.51 billion from various gaming products, including Lotto, Digit Games, Small Town Lottery, and Scratch It.
“We are proud to have achieved such a high-performance scorecard rating for CY 2022,” said PCSO General Manager Mel Robles.
He continued: “Our team has been working tirelessly to ensure we meet our targets and deliver on our mandate of assisting those in need”.
PCSO employees are eligible for the PBB grant, but the agency must comply with the documentary requirements set by the GCG.
Based on GCG MC 2019-02, an agency can apply for the grant of PBB upon receiving a GCG-validated scorecard and achieving a weighted average of at least 90% in its Performance Scorecard and 100% compliance with statutory liabilities.
