Palace to let Congress act on proposed jueteng legalization
Malacañang is leaving to Congress the decision whether or not jueteng — a popular but illegal numbers game — should be legalized. “If the legislature believes that there should be a shift in policy towards jueteng then it is up to them to propose laws legalizing jueteng," presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda said in an ambush interview with reporters Thursday. “But insofar as the executive is concerned, our duty is clear it is that jueteng is illegal and therefore our duty is to eradicate jueteng," he added. Lacierda noted that President Benigno Aquino III has already tasked Interior and Local Government Secretary Jesse Robredo to come up with a comprehensive plan to stamp out jueteng.
