MAYOR Evelio Leonardia is pestered with Bacolod City Police Office (BCPO) Director Celestino Guara's handling of the illegal operation of jai alai in the city.
The mayor has received reports about Guara knowing the eight jai alai operators in the city. "But why did he not take the steps to apprehend them? What is he doing about them now that he is aware of their existence in the city?"
Leonardia reiterated that jai alai does not have a place in Bacolod and he wants the police to beef up campaigns against jai alai operators, bet collectors and bettors.
Guara disclosed Monday that there are eight illegal jai alai operators in the city, operating in the barangays Dalisay, Speed, La Cesta, Buenas, Fronton, Neo Grande, and two others.
Earlier, City Councilor El Cid Familiaran, City Council chairman of the committee on police, security and jail management, proposed a resolution to request the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) and the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) to help the operation against jueting, jai alai, masiao, daily double, and all illegal gambling operators and financiers who operate in the city. - Sun Star
