UNTOUCHABLE JUETENG

Despite the assorted vows or promises of all-out war versus criminality, one crime remains UNTOUCHED.
The numbers game of JUETENG.


Anything illegal is a crime. But if you will notice, guys, there has been no news whatsoever of any government move against jueteng for the past several months.


More specifically, after Interior and Local Government Undersecretary Rico Puno was accused of receiving jueteng bribes, but was NEVER INVESTIGATED for it.


I’m raising this issue because just like illegal drug traffickers, jueteng lords earn BILLIONS OF PESOS yearly as acknowledged by various government studies.


They can make or destroy politicians. They can buy guns and goons and power. They can dictate on the politicians and police in their payroll. They can get away with anything.


But  take note, no new crackdown against jueteng has been reported by the Government or the Philippine National Police (PNP). 


There has been no new raids on jueteng dens, no new arrests of collectors or their bosses, no bets and other evidence confiscated, no investigation of alleged juteng lords, no nothing.


As in NONE, as if jueteng does not exist.
What makes jueteng SOOO UNTOUCHABLE? What, or who, is the PNP or the Government afraid of?


I won’t speculate, for now. But if you will recall, guys, there was talk several months ago that a man with VERY CLOSE ties to Malacanang is the new jueteng don in the country.


Kung matatandaan ninyo rin, mismong si Pangulong Noynoy ay nagsabi na HINDI niya prioridad ang 
jueteng. Nung maakusahan si Puno, hindi niya ito pinaimbestigahan at agad  na ipinagtanggol na wala namang ebidensiya laban dito, kahit na humarap sa publiko ang nagaakusa na si retired Archbishop Oscar Cruz.


Even the Senate conducted only one or two hearings on the bribery accusation against Puno. 
Whatever is behind the UNDISTURBED operation of jueteng is something VERY VERY BIG. Just like oil and power companies, jueteng lords will continue to dominate our lives unless we do something about it. 30
