Duterte teases Sandra Cam: ‘Kaibiganin mo na si PCSO GM Balutan’

Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) board member Sandra Cam should befriend the agency’s general manager Alexander Balutan, President Rodrigo Duterte teased his staunch ally on Monday.

Duterte was in Legazpi City, Albay to get a briefing on the explosion of Mayon Volcano.

After he turned over P20 million, the President was informed that PCSO would also make a donation.

Cam also turned over a P5-million check from the PCSO during the situation briefing.

“O Sandra, hinahanap ka ni ano, ni Balutan,” he said as the crowd laughed.

A few minutes later, Duterte turned his attention to Cam anew.

“Sandra, pwede mo dagdagan? Mga… Kaibiganin mo na iyan si Balutan para… Huwag mo nang awayin. ‘Sabi ni Mayor, padagdagan na lang.’ Maybe they can give five [million], can I ask for about 30 [million]?” he said.

Cam has accused the PCSO of spending P10 million for its party held at EDSA Shangri-la Hotel. Balutan refuted this and said that only P6 million was spent, instead of the proposed P14-million Christmas party budget.

Because of this, the Senate has called for a probe into the alleged irregularities in the PCSO where the two faced off. — RSJ, GMA News
