They’re going all out for its new digs.
“There’s no definite date yet, but the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) is set to go back to its original headquarters along San Marcelino Street, Ermita, Manila,” reports Edd K. Usman in Manila Bulletin.
The report said that “on September 8, PCSO General Manager Jose Ferdinand M. Rojas II will lead the groundbreaking rites for a three-building complex worth PHP2 billion on the two-hectare compound in Ermita.”
As with all government endeavors, the construction project will be put up for bidding.
Rojas was quoted as saying, “We are coming back home.”
The report noted: “The PCSO transferred to offices at the Quezon Institute (QI) in the last quarter of 1997. But it has not completely abandoned the PCSO compound on San Marcelino Street.”
In 2010, the PCSO moved from the QI to the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC) in October of 2010.
Then, earlier this year, the PCSO left the PICC for the Sun Plaza Building on Shaw Boulevard in Mandaluyong City while the PICC was being renovated for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Summit in 2015.
