The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) turned over 500 ChariTimba food

packs to the municipality of Obando, Bulacan, on September 16, 2025, as part of its

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program.

The turnover ceremony was led by PCSO Assistant General Manager for the Charity Sector, Atty. Lauro Patiag. The food packs were received by Councilor Felipe Dela Cruz, representing the local government of Obando.

by tropical storms Crising, Dante, and Emong, which struck the province in July 2025.

disaster-affected communities and upholding its mandate to serve the Filipino people

with compassion and care.

Quezon City – True to its mission of bringing aid closer to Filipino communities, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) turned over 1000 Charitimba to the 1st District of Quezon City in a ceremony held on June 11, 2025 at the Brgy. Veterans Multi-Purpose Covered Court, Project 7, Quezon City.

The event was led by PCSO Board of Directors Jennifer Liongson Guevara and Imelda Papin, with Director Papin delighting the crowd by serenading attendees in a heartfelt performance that added a festive mood to the turnover. In her message, Director Guevara emphasized the agency’s unwavering commitment to public service:

“Sana tumatak sa inyo na ang aming ahensya ay hindi umuurong sa pagtulong. Sana din ay tangkilikin ninyo ang aming mga games. May pagkakataon na kayong manalo, nakatulong pa kayo sa pagpondo ng aming mga charity programs.”

Representing Quezon City Councilor Dorothy Delarmente, Tita Beth Delarmente formally received the Charitimba on behalf of the 1st District, joined by Chief of Staff Raquel Mallilin and several city councilors who graced the event.

Charitimba, a coined term combining “charity” and timba (the Filipino word for bucket), is PCSO’s initiative designed to deliver bucketfuls of compassion—typically in the form of food packs—to vulnerable sectors. It brings the agency’s services directly to those who need them most.

PCSO continues to urge the public to support its games, reminding everyone that every ticket played is a chance to win and a way to help, as game revenues fund essential health and welfare programs nationwide.
