Duterte clears PCSO chief

President Rodrigo Duterte clears Alexander Balutan, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office's (PCSO) embattled general manager, from allegations the agency spent millions of pesos for its Christmas Party last year. 

The president exonerated Balutan even as the Senate probes corruption allegations against the PCSO officials. In its latest hearing, a retired police officer revealed how local officials get kickbacks from small town lottery earnings. - The World Tonight, ANC, February 12, 2018
