The Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office will help the troubled security guard who holed himself up in a room of a mall in Quezon City on Wednesday owing to his sick child who needs surgery.

PCSO general manager Alexander Balutan said he directed his staff to coordinate with the Quezon City Police District when he heard the news over the radio to determine how the agency can help the child.

Police identified the troubled off-duty guard as Hermigildo Marsula Jr. of Bulacan and of Grandiose Security and Services Corp., who was drunk when the incident happened at the Eton Centris Mall.

“The PCSO is always ready to help Filipinos, whether they are rich or poor, we are always ready to help them,” Balutan said, noting the agency was fulfilling its mandate to help every Filipino in need of medical assistance.

Balutan said every Filipino in need should not hesitate to seek help from the PCSO to avoid what happened to Marsula.

“The PCSO is one with the government in fulfilling the dream of President Rodrigo Roa Duterte that no one will die due to sickness because they don’t have money to pay for hospitalization,” Balutan said.

For his part, PCSO chairman Jose Jorge Corpuz assured the family of Marsula the agency will help in paying the hospital for the child’s operation.

“That is our mandate, to assist the medical and financial needs of Filipinos, whether they are security guards or any Juan dela Cruz,” Corpuz said.

“As I always say, the agency does not choose who to help, everyone is welcome here. That is the real mandate of the agency, to help those in need,” Balutan added.

“We have 57 PCSO branches in different parts of the country, you can submit the required documents to the nearest branch for us to give you financial assistance,” he said.
