May I request the 2 Concession Agreements between PCSO and PGMC, and Pacific Online?
Also, I believe that due to the postponement of the PLS bidding, the contracts between PCSO, PGMC, and Pacific Online have been extended. May I also get a copy of the new contracts between these parties?
Maraming salamat

Dear Dr. Cedro,
Thank you for your reply.
I am a former student of the National Defense College of the Philippines, Master in National Security Administration Class 54. I am interested in learning the effects of STL, and other Philippine Lottery games vis-a-vis our National Security Programs.
I believe the contracts of PGMC and Pacific online has been frequently extended due to the failure and postponement of the PLS bid. I would like to review their past and current agreements/contracts, see and compare new agreements/contracts in the future.
Also, the lotto operations has resumed this August, after a long break due to Covid 19. I would like to see the terms and agreement of the PGMC and PACIFIC Online extension, since I believe and have mentioned that the contracts have expired already.
Maraming salamat po.
