Ailing Sen. Miriam Defensor Santiago yesterday dropped a jueteng bombshell, as she identified the three big-time jueteng lords who control the bigger share of the illegal numbers racket in the Luzon Region, as she named Ilocos Sur Gov. Luis “Chavit” Singson, Charlie “Atong” Ang and Rodolfo “Bong” Pineda as the personalities, among others, controlling the jueteng network in several regions in the country.
Singson, Ang and Pineda were also the personalities who had figured in the first “juetengate” scandal, investigated by the Senate almost a decade ago, and are again implicated in the illegal numbers game that is said to continue proliferating in the country under the Aquino government.
The three alleged jueteng lords in Luzon are said to rake in a daily income of P1 million at the least to as much as P9 million.
