Sen. Panfilo Lacson said on Tuesday there has been information that the 13 men who were killed in a shootout with lawmen in Quezon last Sunday belonged to a group that was allegedly involved not only in the illegal numbers game jueteng but also in assassinations commissioned by prominent and small-time politicians.
Interior Secretary Manuel Roxas II is not letting go of his campaign to stop the illegal numbers racket “jueteng” in Pampanga.
“Si Erap, hindi lang para sa mahirap, para din sa taga-Forbes Park. (Former President Joseph Estrada is not just for the poor, but also for the residents of Forbes Park,” the actor-turned-politician said on Thursday as guest speaker at a Rotary Club meeting.
The Philippine National Police (PNP) said on Monday that it would look into Sen. Panfilo Lacson’s claim that some unscrupulous police officials have been receiving about P50 million daily in jueteng payoffs.
