MANILA, Philippines — The two winners of the P300-million jackpot of the February 15 draw of Grand Lotto 6/55, who placed their bets in Taytay, Rizal, and Hinunangan, Southern Leyte, have not yet claimed their winnings.
MAASIN CITY, Southern Leyte, Feb 21 (PIA)  --  The Community Environment and Natural Resources (CENRO) Maasin City of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) aim to cover 300 hectares of open spaces with forest trees on its second year of implementing the National Greening Program this year.
 
A check with the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) in Pasay City at noon Monday showed that so far only the winners of P150,000 each for getting five numbers correctly have started to claim their money.
According to CENRO officer Pepe Mandras, the CENRO Maasin City, which covers the municipalities from Maasin City  down to Libagon municipality will continue to be planted with forest trees.
 
Lawyer Lauro A. Patiag, manager of the Internal Audit Department (PCSO-IAD), told the Manila Bulletin that the two lucky lotto players have not yet shown up.
The DENR in the province have two CENR offices, which are based in Maasin City and San Juan municipality.  The CENRO – San Juan also covers the municipalities located  from Sogod down to the Pacific towns and Pana-on areas, Mandras said.
 
“We are waiting for them so they can get without hassle their prize money. It is totally tax-free, the PCSO pays the tax for jackpot prizes,” he said.
Mandras  said  last year, CENRO Maasin City  was  able  to plant  successfully  to  700 hectares of forest lands under the national tree planting program  of  President  Benigno S. Aquino III.
 
Five-number winners of 6/55 in the same February 15 draw are now claiming their money, he said. “It could mean even the two winners of the P300 million may still have not realized their lucky streak,” said Patiag.
He also revealed that   50 out of the 700 hectares were endorsed  by Congressman Roger G. Mercado particularly  located  at  the  Barangay Bogo  in Maasin City. That the said  forest plantation is managed by the Bogo Women’s  Assocation, he added.
Mandras further revealed that their office has designated the bald mountain ranges in Barangay Laboon, which is about 10 kilometers away from the main districts of Maasin City, for the convenience of those organizations who wish to join the national tree planting program. (PIA8- Southern Leyte)
