THE Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) has not yet paid its obligation on its gas consumption for several months as its budget, which is being sourced from the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (Pagcor) executive share, has not been approved by the City Council.
BCPO Director Celestino Guara wrote Vice Mayor Jude Thaddeus Sayson through Councilor El Cid Familiaran, chairman of the City Council Committee on Social Defense, reiterating BCPO’s request for passage of the resolution, which will authorize the payment of expenditures chargeable to the current budget of Pagcor Fund for September 2010 in the amount of P478,000. Since August to October this year, BCPO reportedly did not receive the supposed monthly release of their share from the Pagcor’s executive share. Earlier, the City Council asked Guara, in the form of a resolution addressed to the BCPO chief, to provide the list of apprehensions which the BCPO had accomplished in its anti-jai-alai campaign in the city. The council asked for the list of apprehended individuals and the name of their respective operators/bookies engaging in illegal gambling, particularly jai alai, since June 2010 indicating the date and place of arrest made and the status of each apprehension, the resolution stated.
