The City Council has requested the Zamboanga City Police Office (ZCPO) to stop all forms of illegal gambling, particularly the so-called "swertres" in this southern port city.
Vice Mayor Jose Manuel Dalipe II said the request was made through a resolution sponsored by Councilor Charlie Mariano, and was unanimously approved during the council's regular session Thursday.
Dalipe said that Mariano sponsored the resolution after noting that the illegal numbers game known is proliferating in almost all of the city's 98 villages.
Operators of the local swertres gambling based the results on the Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO)-sponsored Three-Digit Lottery. - Sun Star Zamboanga
