After a vicious campaign against illegal drugs, the government will next declare war against illegal gambling, said Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Director General Ronald dela Rosa.
"With the President's call for change in the country, there will yet be no end to wars we are waging. Because after we are done with the war against illegal drugs, in six months, we will shift our sights to eradicating illegal gambling in the country," Dela Rosa said in his speech at Camp General Simeon Ola in Albay.
He also added that they will be giving more life and energy to these operations, the same way they did with the campaign against illegal drugs.
Dela Rosa warned police officers to stop accepting money from illegal gambling operators, followed by another warning that accepting the money would render him useless as it would tie his hands and prevent him from doing his job.
He also noted that incidents in some regions where police officers who accepted illegal gambling payoffs faced a problem implementing the campaign on illegal drugs as both syndicates use the same network.
Dela Rosa is confident to say that the campaign against illegal gambling would not be as bloody as the war on drugs and may succeed in less than six months.
