Staying true to its mission of bringing public service closer to Filipino communities, the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) turned over 1,000 Charitimba buckets to residents of Quezon City’s 1st District during a ceremony held on June 11, 2025, at the Brgy. Veterans Multi-Purpose Covered Court in Project 7.
Leading the turnover were PCSO Board Members Jennifer Liongson Guevara and singer-turned-public servant Imelda Papin, who lifted the mood with a heartfelt live serenade that brought cheers and smiles from the crowd.
Director Guevara, in her message, reaffirmed the agency’s steadfast commitment to uplifting lives through charity.
“Sana tumatak sa inyo na ang aming ahensya ay hindi umuurong sa pagtulong. Sana din ay tangkilikin ninyo ang aming mga games. May pagkakataon na kayong manalo, nakatulong pa kayo sa pagpondo ng aming mga charity programs,” she said.
Accepting the donation on behalf of Councilor Dorothy Delarmente was Tita Beth Delarmente, alongside Chief of Staff Raquel Mallilin and members of the city council, who joined in celebrating the meaningful occasion.
The Charitimba program—short for “charity” and timba (Filipino for bucket)—is a PCSO outreach initiative that delivers food and essential goods directly to underprivileged sectors. More than just relief items, each bucket symbolizes hope and solidarity from the government to the grassroots.
PCSO continues to call on the public to support its games, reminding everyone that each ticket purchased contributes not only to the dream of winning, but also to the funding of nationwide health and social welfare programs.
