PRO-CALABARZON regional director Brig. Gen. Jose Melencio C Nartatez Jr. commended the members of San Pedro City and Biñan City Police Stations for the successful conduct of anti-gambling operations that led to the arrest of 21 individuals and confiscation of online gambling equipment.

He also reiterated the ‘No Take Policy’ from illegal gambling to all operating personnel including unit commanders and Chiefs of Police.

“Isa lamang itong pagpapatunay na ang PRO-CALABARZON ay seryoso sa aming kampanya laban sa ilegal na sugal at maging sa mga nauusong online gambling platforms o online casino,” said Nartatez Jr.

“Sa mga unit commanders at COPs lalong lalo na sa mga operatiba huwag na ninyong subukan na pumatong sa mga illegal na gawain lalo na sa gambling dahil hindi ko kukunsintihin ang mga maling gawain at sisiguraduhin kong mananagot kayo sa batas," warned Nartatez.
