Jueteng should now be a thing of the past—Lomibao
PHILIPPINE National Police Director General Arturo Lomibao reiterated the government policy that there should be no more jueteng in the country during a whirlwind visit to Pangasinan Wednesday primarily to check on police investigation into the killing of regional trial court Judge Estrelita Paas of Natividad.
In a talk to newsmen here, Lomibao said that as far as the PNP is concerned, jueteng should now be a thing of the past.
At the same time however, he complained that he could not understand Archbishop Oscar Cruz of the Lingayen Dagupan archdiocese because, according to him, the prelate says one day that there is no more jueteng and on the next day, he says otherwise, and on the third day is again saying a different thing.
Lomibao again warned all PNP personnel that those violating the policy should be punished adding that if they were police commanders, they should be relieved and if they are local officials, they should be investigated.
At the same time, although the EZ-2 game in lotto is legal, he ordered the police to arrest the collectors and it is up for him to explain that his activity is legal.
The move, he said is intended to erase the suspicion that the police have relaxed their guard on what the people perceive to be jueteng, in the guise of the legal EZ-2 game.

okay, so now that the jueteng is a thing of the past..can we focus on protecting our citizens against robberies, hold up men, and akyat bahay crimes? Why not create a 911 center to alert the police if the suspects are spotted committing crimes against innocent victims? Provide the tipster a protection, offer them a big reward if their tips are proven accurate and keep the tipster's identity private. That way, you can catch the bad guy easily. The bad guys will eventually stop if something is being done in stopping crimes. The community should get involve. It means you and I have the responsibility to stop the crimes...by keeping your eyes open and reporting what you saw to the authorities. Don't be afraid, just pick up your cell fones, dial 911 or whatever number the police have, and get those men in uniforms out of their butts and into the streets and make them start doing their jobs. That's what they are paid for..
