In celebration of National Women’s Month (NWM) this March, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) gave out free Super Lotto 6/49 tickets to 130 Filipino women lotto players.
Launched last March 8, the “Super Ticket Para Kay Super Pinay” promo coincided with the celebration of International Women’s Day.
Cua said the PCSO will be holding other activities honoring Filipino women in celebration of National Women’s Month.
Under the promo, the first 100 women lotto players from the general public who each bought a lotto ticket with a minimum worth of PHP 10.00 were each given free Super Lotto 6/49 tickets worth PHP 100.00.
Meanwhile, 30 women lotto patrons who each bought a lotto ticket worth PHP 10.00 at any lotto terminal located in all PCSO branch offices nationwide were also each given a free Super Lotto 6/49 ticket worth PHP 100.00.
“Ang PCSO ay nakikiisa sa pagdiriwang ng 2023 National Women’s Month. Nagpapasalamat ang PCSO sa lahat ng mga kahanga-hangang Pinay na lumahok sa promo. Ito ay isang parangal sa ating mga magigiting na mga kababaihan,” PCSO Chairperson Junie E. Cua said.
The PCSO kicked-off its National Women’s Month celebrations last March 6 with Senator Nancy Binay as guest of honor during its Flag Ceremony.
Binay who is known as the “Nanay de Pamilya” of the Senate was one of the authors of Republic Act 11210, or the Expanded Maternity Leave Law, which expanded the allowed maternity leave to 105 days, from the original 60 days, with an additional 30 days of leave with pay if needed.
“Hayaan nyo akong i-congratulate ang hanay ng magaganda’t dakilang kababaihan dito sa PCSO na siyang kaagapay sa pagtataguyod ng mandato ng ahensiya na paglingkuran ang ating mga kababayang nangangailangan. Happy Women’s Month po sa ating lahat,” Binay said.
Meanwhile, Cua said the PCSO will be holding other activities honoring Filipino women in celebration of National Women’s Month.
“Makakaasa po kayo na patuloy na susuportahan ng PCSO ang mga programa para sa kapakanan ng kababaihan. Kaugnay nito, patuloy po nating pinag-aaralan kung ano pa ang magagawa natin para isulong ang isang mas inklusibong lipunan,” he said.
“Ito rin po ay bilang suporta sa panawagan ni Pangulong Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. na maglunsad ng mga paraan para mapabuti ang kalagayan ng ating mga kababayan,” Cua said.
