Former Philippine Constabulary chief retired Maj. Gen. Ramon Montano came out of the woodwork yesterday to second the allegations made by retired Dagupan-Lingayen Archbishop Oscar Cruz regarding distribution of bribe money to top government officials, mainly from the police ranks, for the continued proliferation of the illegal numbers game ‘jueteng’.
Montano said that jue-teng operat-ions will not proliferate if there was no connivance between the police and local government officials.
“There are those who receive (bribes)…how can it (jueteng) proliferate if there are no connivance?” asked Montano.
Montano said he has information about “massive” distribution of bribe money to police commanders. “Of course it’s massive, otherwise how can the big ones (be) protected by the higher ups so it goes down the line,” said Montano while at the same time refusing to elaborate on his statement.
Montano called on the authorities to employ what he calls “Ping Lacson solution”, apparently referring to the strategy used by Sen. Panfilo Lacson during his tenure as chief of the Philippine National Police (PNP).
“We should apply the Ping Lacson solution,” said Montano.... MORESource: The Daily Tribune
