Philippine National Police Director General Raul Bacalzo deserves kudos.
In his first week as police director, 110 involved in jueteng were arrested from raids carried out in Calabarzon (Cavite-Laguna-Batangas-Rizal-Quezon), Cordillera and Metro Manila areas. One of the dailies says that 87 raids were conducted around the country.
We don’t know exactly how many are involved in jueteng. It should be in the thousands. That makes the number of arrests looks insignificant but arrests are arrests. Exerted police effort is much appreciated but we need more. A dozen of catch is better than three catches. Our police can do more. All they must have are determination and will to conduct authentic arrests and entrapments. Not scripted.
Although no names of the arrested are mentioned, I presume that they are the fingerlings of the illegal game --- just tip of the iceberg so to speak.
Is the Philippine National Police really serious in stopping jueteng?
Is the Philippine National Police really serious in stopping jueteng?
I can only answer that in the affirmative when some influential politicians, big shots, ranking members of the military and the police are arrested and undergo trial.
Hopefully, our Filipino ningas kugon trait is not the spoiler in the drive against the illegal game. -30-
