President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has been urged to call for more courtesy resignations from government officials, including the heads of scandal-plagued agencies.

Volunteers Against Crime and Corruption (VACC) president Arsenio “Boy” Evangelista said the President’s government-wide revamp should not stop with the Cabinet but must extend to agencies “squandering public funds and failing Filipinos,” including the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO), Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor), Bureau of Customs, Bureau of Immigration, and Philippine National Police (PNP).

The PCSO, which oversees the national lottery, faces accusations of rigged jackpots, unresolved corruption scandals, and the unsolved 2020 murder of its former board secretary, Wesley Barayuga.

Evangelista cited a recent Senate probe questioning the legitimacy of lottery winners, alleging that PCSO insiders manipulated the results. Lawmakers have also criticized PCSO’s online lottery for exposing minors to gambling.

Being the state gaming regulator, Pagcor drew ire for its lax oversight of Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGOs), which have been linked to scams, human trafficking, and corruption.

Evangelista said POGOs are still running rampant, noting ties between government officials and illegal operators.

On the other hand, the Bureau of Customs and Bureau of Immigration were flagged over long-standing controversies, while the PNP was criticized for failing to curb high-profile crimes, including the recent abduction and murder of a Chinese-Filipino businessman.

Evangelista said their demand aligns with President Marcos’s push to “realign government with the people’s expectations,” emphasizing performance over patronage.

“This isn’t about personalities — it’s about delivering justice and accountability,” Evangelista said, adding that if the agency leaders can’t clean house, they should make way for those who can.
