Micesa 8 Gaming Inc. — the company authorized by the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) to operate the Small Town Lottery (STL) in Quezon City — announced a key leadership change Wednesday while reaffirming its commitment to transparency and accountability.

Effective 3 November, the company’s Board of Directors appointed Irene Bigornia Montemayor as Acting Corporate Secretary (Interim), succeeding Krystyna Nicole de Lara Feliciano.

The appointment was formalized through a board resolution signed by president Carlos de Guzman Montemayor and chief operating officer Vernice Guenivir Mariano.

The company clarified that Feliciano remains a shareholder but “no longer holds any corporate position and is not authorized to represent or transact” on behalf of Micesa 8 Gaming Inc. in any capacity.

It added that the leadership adjustment, aimed at strengthening corporate governance and coordination with regulatory and law enforcement agencies, was announced during a meeting Tuesday afternoon at Camp Karingal. Officials from the PCSO, members of the Quezon City Police District (QCPD), and company agents attended the meeting.
