PNP Cracks Down on Illegal Gambling Anew

MANILA, Philippines — With illegal gambling still prevalent in Luzon and parts of the Visayas, the Philippine National Police is taking on the challenge of ridding the areas of the activity.

But PNP spokesperson Brig. Gen. Bernard Banac said: “There are many allegations that our colleagues are on the take or protectors of illegal gambling. We cannot set aside that possibility that there are some. But the PNP policy is if there is lack of action or inaction … there is a revamp of police officials whose mandate is to stop the illegal activity."

This comes as the nation has begun probing syndicates linked to offshore gambling.

A Chinese national Yin Jian Tao, 33, was shot and killed inside a restaurant in Makati City last Thursday along with his companion, Zheng Kai. The latter was fired at but survived. Both are employed by a Chinese-run Philippine Offshore Gaming Operator (POGO) in Makati City.

The victims were meeting with three of their compatriots to have their money changed to another currency when the killing took place.

The suspects were identified by the police as Yang Chao Wen and Liang Yuan Wu, and an unidentified third person reportedly also worked in the POGO sector.
