Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) chair Junie Cua paid a visit to one of the agency’s Institutional Partnership Program (IPP) as part of his efforts to be familiar with its partners.
Through the IPP, the PCSO assists and supports various welfare agencies and charitable medical facilities nationwide.
Qualified organizations are given P300,000 to help finance charity services to poor and marginalized sectors in local communities.
“We see these visits as crucial in improving the PCSO’s service. Magandang oportunidad din ito para makita natin kung para kanino ba ang mga pagsisikap natin (This is also a good opportunity to see for whom our efforts are),” Cua said in a statement on Thursday, after he visited Gentle Hands, Inc., a welfare home for at-risk children in Quezon City.
He also said the visits are in line with President Ferdinand R. Marcos, Jr.’s directive to find ways to improve and enhance the agency’s service.
Cua said that Gentle Hands is “truly deserving” of the fund infusion, given its track record of helping rescued children.
