PCSO gets citation as model state firm

The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) has been recognized for its significant achievements and outstanding performance in the past two years, the Governance Commission for Government-Owned and Controlled Corporations (GCG) indicated.

GCG cited PCSO for being the top-ranking GOCCs in the 2023 Performance Scorecard, and for consistently achieving a perfect score in the Stakeholder Relationship Section of the Corporate Governance Scorecard, for the calendar years 2021-2023.

Last year, the GCG also recognized PCSO for its exemplary performance by naming it “Most Improved GOCC,” after the agency finished with an impressive performance scorecard rating of 92.03 percent.

String of distinctions

PCSO general manager Melquiades Robles said the recognition highlighted the dedication and hard work of the entire PCSO team, who remain committed to upholding the highest standards of corporate governance and service excellence.

“Our achievements are not just merely numbers; they represent our unwavering responsibility to serve the Filipino people and ensure that our programs align with the President’s directive toward ‘Bagong Pilipinas’ (New Philippines),” he said.

The GCG’s Performance Evaluation System (PES) rates the accomplishments of GOCCs for a given fiscal year based on a set of performance criteria, targets, and weights outlined in a performance scorecard.

This system fosters a performance-driven culture among GOCCs, enabling them to meet their goals effectively.
