BULL’S HIT

BAGUIO CITY --At least, it’s good news to know that Baguio city mayor Mauricio Domogan Jr. has thought of creating a group that would entirely focus its operation on illegal gambling in Baguio.
The task force he now chairs called “Jupiter” ss now on the watch by sectors who are tired up of swarming gambling dens and the so called unstoppable jueteng. If the good mayor means business this time and makes good in going after operators of these illegal gambling joints and numbers games, then I could see those three witches clapping their hands in joy for him at least for this time.
But if he is only doing this just for “papogi points,” then expect hits that could even go under his belt by these friendly witches of the new local administration. Well, I have seen these witches hound leaders either for better or worse.
Task Force Jupiter should think big for we are watching and people believe what they see. It is now their turn to hit right the spinning wheel. Start right by following the Malacanang order to stop jueteng and others will follow, then we could probably say that this city is truly a gambling tree city. Cheers?

Everyone is talking about the hostage-taking incident in Manila, while some of my friends at the city market are talking about the operation of compact 1 station 7 BCPO policemen against those vendors at upper Ist Kayang St. last Aug. 24 at 11:30 a.m.
They wonder why these cops only apprehended and confiscated the goods of the vendors in that area only and did not include ambulant vendors selling at neighboring areas including those near their office at Bamarva.
Funny though, since some vendors accordingly redeemed their goods at their office and paid the penalty thereof where it was found out that the violation written in the receipt was jay walking instead of violation of the anti-peddling ordinance.
Did the vendors cross the streets of no jaywalking signs while selling perhaps? Or did they run while scampering to save their goods from the pursuing cops? These vendors said they were just selling their goods at their usual areas when cops arrived and confiscated their goods.
Holy cow. If these vendors are telling the truth, then it’s no wonder that every Juan de la Cruz distrusts the police. Jaywalking? Unbelievable!!

I wonder why up now, no action was done by the Philippine Long Distance Telephone, Co. in Baguio city on a complaint brought before them by a woman resident of Aurora Hill.
Despite her old age, she still made effort to go to their office and reported the matter of unreasonable cutting off her landline four months ago. According to the complaint, she was surprised to learn that her telephone service was cut despite paying religiously and was not also given due notice by the company.
If this is true then what could be their company senior manager doing? Is he busy attending this matter or just waiting for the Christmas season to come? Tablan naman sana kayo ng hiya!

I don’t mind businesses of others especially if these are legal, but this matter which my bubwit discovered lately through his sources is a matter of concern oil companies should look upon.
Accordingly, there are persons who are selling crude oil and gasoline much lower as compared to prices at gasoline stations. First I heard from my bubwit is the alleged unauthorized selling of low prized crude and gasoline at Sablan, Benguet.
The oil accordingly were taken from delivery trucks coming from Manila for delivery in Baguio where some were being refilled on containers along Marcos Highway and Naguillian Road.
Sources of my bubwit have indentified to us other areas of selling points in Rimando Road and M. Roxas St. at Brookside.
If this is legitimate and authorized, then perhaps the legitimate oil business companies are in a better position to have this clarified and urge the authorities to investigate. For sure the main source of the supply would not want or allow nor authorize anybody to do refilling out from his or her delivery for if he or she catches anyone doing it he or she knows totally that the culprit is guilty of the anti-pilferage law.
