Jueteng back in P’sinan;Ilocos PNP chief checking

LINGAYEN, Pangasinan – Jueteng has returned in all six districts of Pangasinan, sources said, but according to police, they are still verifying reports while provincial officials are silent on the issue.

In this provincial turf of retired Lingayen Archbishop Oscar Cruz, who earlier linked local and national personalities to the illegal numbers game, jueteng kubradors have returned, business as usual, collecting bets, residents said.

At the regional police headquarters in Camp Florendo, San Fernando City, La Union, Supt. Orlando Mabutas, Ilocos police director, said he is still confirming if indeed jueteng has returned.

He said if confirmed, police chiefs in areas where jueteng operates would be relieved in accordance with the one-strike policy of the Philippine National Police.

A certain Orduna allegedly gave the go-signal for jueteng operators in the six districts to resume operations.

A certain “Boy Bata” allegedly operates jueteng in Binmaley, Lingayen, Bugallon and San Fabian towns and Dagupan City.

A certain Mallorca reportedly operates in Bayambang, Malasiqui, Mangaldan, Manaoag and Mapandan towns.

In Aguilar, Mangatarem, Urbiztondo and Basista towns, jueteng is reportedly under a certain Sison.

A certain Bebot is reportedly the operators in Villasis, Sto. Tomas, Alcala, Bautista and Carmen towns.

In the past, these operators were supposedly the ones behind jueteng in the province.
