A
former chief of police (COP) of a city in Northern Luzon said that when he told
an anti-jueteng Catholic archbishop that he could not stop the sprouting of
illegal number game in the city and the indispensability of jueteng’s payolas
to the police he used to apprehend criminals; the bishop told him he understood
his plight.

“Huwag
mo lang papasukin ang mga big time na jueteng financers outside the province,”
the prelate said.
Before
he left he gave the COP almost a hundred thousand of pesos.
“Gamitin
mo iyang pera pang gas at pang gastos sa police ninyo laban sa mga masasama”.
Ha,
ha, ha, with the tax- free funds from the Catholic Church and another tax free
hundreds of thousands of pesos a month from jueteng, the bad guys would be a wimp
against the cops in the hide and seek game!

I
asked recently the eloquent and inquisitive Senator Alan Peter Cayetano who is
the worst nightmare of Vice President Jejomar Binay, why of all those
incriminating charges he throws at the Vice President in the sub-committee
level of the Blue Ribbon Committee his polls stock falls 5% in June to 1%
September this year according to Pulse Asia.
“You
have been the one doing the yeoman’s job in exposing the Vice President that
cost a significant chunk of his polls stock why that happened to you, too?, “ I
posed to him.
Although
he is still No. 1 in the polls war, Social Weather Station showed Binay dropped
by 15% or from +67 in June to +52 in September this year.
