MANILA, Philippines — The Quezon City Police District (QCPD) arrested 12 people across the city in an intensified anti-criminality campaign, with the charges ranging from gambling and illegal drugs.

“The respective courts of origin of the Warrants will be notified on the arrest of the accused,” the QCPD said in a Facebook page post.
