No stopping Yeng until PSC gets proper remittances

MANILA, Philippines — The battle is not yet over as far as the landmark decision of the Supreme Court regarding the proper remittances of two government agencies to the Philippine Sports Commission is concerned.

Former Pampanga congressman and PBA coach Yeng Guiao said it’s imperative to see the actual execution of the decision ordering the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. (PAGCOR) to remit the full amount of five percent of gross income to the PSC from 1993 to the present, and the 30 percent of the charity fund of sweepstakes and lottery draw of the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) from 2006 to the present to the same sports funding agency of the government.

“Ayaw natin na parang moral victory lang ito. Legally and morally we’re standing on solid grounds. ‘Yung bulk of the work andiyan na eh,” said Guiao in yesterday’s PSA Forum, where he was accompanied by his lawyer Atty. Avelino “Jun” Guzman Jr.

“We don’t want this decision to become a paper judgement. Ang kailangan talaga dito yung pondo pumasok sa PSC,” added Guzman in the session held at the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex and presented by San Miguel Corp., PSC, Philippine Olympic Committee, Milo, Smart/PLDT and the country’s 24/7 sports app ArenaPlus.
