Noy not keen on using intel funds in jueteng probe

Despite claiming that the latest jueteng exposé of Archbishop Emeritus Oscar Cruz concerns the government, President Aquino would not sacrifice his intelligence funds and launch an in-depth investigation into the prelate’s allegations unless he divulges the names of the people whom he is tagging on this illegal numbers game discreetly or publicly.
Malacañang yesterday asked Cruz to exercise prudence in coming up with his disclosures on the reported prevailing culture of underground lottery being exercised in various Philippine communities with government officials and some clerics allegedly receiving payoffs.
Deputy presidential spokesman Abigail Valte told reporters that these allegations of Cruz seriously concern them but they would rather that he reveals the names of the individuals whom he claimed have something to do with jueteng before giving in to his request of making an investigation into the matter.
