AS REQUESTED, the Bacolod City Police Office gave the City Council a copy of the list of apprehensions regarding its campaign against illegal gambling under Republic Act 9287.
There are reports that the apprehensions were more on those playing "tong its" than the jai alai, which has been reported rampant in most of Bacolod's barangays. Bacolod City Police Director Celestino Guara Jr. submitted the list of their apprehensions and the violators who were caught playing "tong its," tumbo and jai alai starting June to October 11, 2010. Cases have already been filed against the violators. The City Council requested for the report from the BCPO after it received information on allegedly rampant illegal gambling in some barangays in Bacolod City. The City Police Office has been directed by Mayor Evelio R. Leonardia to do their job in apprehending the illegal gambling operators. Councilor Homer Bais also asked Guara to provide them a list of those they apprehended because of jai alai. Councilor El Cid Familiaran, City Council Chairman of the Committee on Police, Security and Jail Management will propose a resolution to request the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) - through Police Inspector Benjamin B. Topacio, OIC CIDG-Bacolod head Atty.
