    Lawmakers have filed a bill to abolish the requirement that the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) contribute 10% of its annual funds to socialized housing. The bill would redirect these funds towards improving health services and charity programs instead. Currently the National Shelter Program receives over P1 billion annually from PCSO's mandatory contributions. However, lawmakers believe PCSO's funds would be better spent on improving the country's lacking healthcare infrastructure and increasing access to medical services for poor households, as PCSO's original mandate is to raise funds for health and charity programs.
