THE City Council chairman of the committee on police, security and jail management will propose a resolution to request the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to apprehend illegal gambling operators and financiers operating in the Bacolod City.
Councilor El Cid Familiaran will ask Police Inspector Benjamin Topacio, OIC CIDG-Bacolod head, and lawyer Mamerto Cortez, NBI Bacolod chief, to help in apprehending jueteng, jai alai, masiao, and daily double operators. He believes that, with the assistance of the CIDG and NBI, the illegal gambling operations will be addressed. “Jueteng, jai alai, masiao, daily double and other forms of illegal gambling are immoral and illegal. They are ills to our community,” Familiaran said. Gambling distorts the values of people, especially the children, and it makes the people lazy and poorer, he added. Mayor Evelio Leonardia has also directed the Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) to do their job in apprehending illegal gambling operators in Bacolod. Illegal gambling operations are secretly operating in most villages in Bacolod City. Councilor Homer Bais also asked BCPO Director Celestino Guara to provide them the list of those they apprehended because of “jai alai.” (Carla N.
