FIFTEEN men, including an army soldier who was caught in possession of his service firearm, were arrested for engaging in “tupada” or illegal cockfight Saturday afternoon in Taguig City.
Southern Police District (SPD) Director P/BGen. Jimili Macaraeg said operatives of Intelligence Section of Taguig City Police led by P/Lt Nelvin Pacia swooped down on a vacant lot in Pres. Quirino, Brgy. South Signal Village, Taguig City at around 1:30 p.m. following complaints from residents in the area.
Out of 15 arrested gambling violators who were all charged for violation of City Ordinance and PD 1602 or Illegal Gambling, only Francisco Serdan, 38, a Philippine Army officer will be cited for additional violation of Omnibus Election Code and R.A. 10591 or the Comprehensive Law on Firearms and Ammunition Act after he was caught in possession of his cal. 45 pistol with magazine loaded with four live bullets and a spare magazine with three live ammunition.
Authorities also recovered during the raid the bet money amounting to ₱3,640.00 in different denominations and two fighting cocks with gaffs or “tari”.
“Makikita natin na hindi lamang sa pagsasagawa ng mga COMELEC checkpoints tayo ay nakakahuli ng lumalabag sa Nationwide Gun Ban bagamat kahit sa mga ibang police operations natin ay nakakahuli tayo ng Gun Ban violators. Ito ay sanhi ng ipinatutupad natin sa SPD na intensified anti-criminality operations” Macaraeg said.
