The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) was honored by the government during the celebration of the Government- Owned and Controlled Corporations (GOCCs’) Day on Tuesday, September 16, 2025, at Malacañang.

The recognition affirmed the agency’s vital role in strengthening public service and nation-building, especially through its significant remittances and meaningful programs that touch the lives of many Filipinos.

President Ferdinand Marcos Jr., together with the Department of Finance (DOF), presented the award to PCSO officials during the GOCCs’ Day celebration in Malacañang.

This year, PCSO remitted a total of ₱1.77 billion to the National Treasury, contributing to the total ₱116.84 billion dividend remittances from 53 GOCCs. These funds are earmarked to boost the economy, strengthen the healthcare system, and uplift the lives of Filipino families.

The President stressed that the GOCCs have been instruments of growth, equity, and empowerment. 

''Through their contributions, we have built infrastructure, expanded services, invested in communities especially those that have long been marginalized. Because of your determination and compassion, more Filipinos are being reached and served by our programs,” President Marcos said in his keynote address.

He also shared uplifting news, announcing the approval of a salary increase for GOCC employees along with the provision of tiered medical allowances, in recognition of their dedicated service to the nation.

For PCSO, this recognition serves as both an achievement and a challenge to further improve the delivery of honest, efficient, and compassionate public service in building a stronger Bagong Pilipinas.

Finance Secretary Ralph Recto also emphasized that GOCCs like PCSO are not merely “government-owned” but “people-owned.” He stressed that every service delivered, and every peso remitted is a direct investment in the welfare of the Filipino people.

PCSO remains steadfast in its mission of service and charity, living by its mantra: “PCSO, Hindi Umuurong sa Pagtulong,” a constant reminder that every effort, every service, and every program is dedicated to helping the Filipino people.
