Muntinlupa cracks down on illegal gambling


Up to 17 videokarera machines were confiscated and eventually destroyed by the Muntinlupa Police and security forces in an effort to curb illegal gambling activities within the City.

Mayor Jaime R. Fresnedi led in the smashing of the confiscated machines after the regular flag ceremony, making sure that the motherboards of the said machines were totally destroyed to render them unusable.

“These machines only serve to distract our citizens, especially our youth, by forcing them to spend their money recklessly in gambling instead of using it for their own livelihood,” Fresnedi said. “These operations may also be used to fuel illegal activities such as peddling drugs and other banned substances, which may eventually contribute to harming Muntinlupeños, which is why we want these machines out of our City.”

Fresnedi also pointed out that in most cases, these machines are located close to schools, further distracting students and causing them to cut their classes or spend their allowance needlessly.

The owners of the said machines are facing charges of illegal gambling and operating business without a permit.

Aside from tightening the noose on illegal gambling, Fresnedi likewise directed the City’s security and safety services to properly implement traffic regulations, the Helmet Law, anti-jaywalking measures, and anti-littering rules to ensure the safety and well-being of all citizens on and off the road.
