Re: The PCSO Lotto is shrouded in doubt due to the picture of the winner shown
That's obviously edited. And even the organization has already admitted that it is indeed edited. And they seem to have a valid excuse: to keep the winner's anonymity. But I don't understand how editing is relevant. After all, the winner is already covered all over.
The doubt as to corruption has solid basis. Government officials having access to money have all been corrupt. If they are stealing money even from small projects at the expense of the project's obvious quality, why shouldn't they steal huge amounts of money that is just to be given away to unknown and unidentified individuals? That would be much easier to steal. If they've moved heaven and earth just to steal from carefully audited government funds, why would they stop themselves from stealing this as well?

And we all know that in our country, corruption is just around the corner specially with this administration and it seems the the country is back to it's old self. Anyhow, yes they have admitted that its edited and a poor one. They could just have blurred the images even in our cellphone with built-in apps that can do that. But if they hire someone to do that, then it's a poor job. Now there is a doubt as whether there is a real person behind winning that huge amount of money. And I don't think that Filipinos is good at hiding, specially if you won big. There are a lot of "Marites" (only Pinoys know this meaning
), and sooner or later they will uncover if this women is indeed amongst their neigbours.
