MINI-CASINOS FLOURISHING IN BENGUET CAPITAL TOWN FOR YEARS
La Trinidad, Benguet – Mini-casinos purportedly operated by a bakery operator known only as “Karate” remains unabated in La Trinidad, a menace even Mayor Greg Abalos acknowledges as difficult to combat because of the deep connections of the operation with police and other influential officials in the province.
‘I know that operation,’ Mayor Abalos admits, ‘but it is very difficult to stamp out because everytime the Office of the Mayor attempts to swoop down on suspected joints, we find nothing because they were earlier tipped.’
