Reports reaching Col. Relly Arnedo, Bulacan police director, said the suspect was a 42-year-old male.
Initial investigation showed that operatives of the Hagonoy Police Station conducted an illegal gambling operation in Purok 2, Brgy. San Isidro, Hagonoy town around 10:00 pm.
The operation led to the arrest of the suspect and confiscation of a flat-screen television, two remote controls, a smartbox, a charger, and bet money in different denominations.
It can be recalled that online sabong or e-sabong was declared illegal by former President Rodrigo Duterte and in December last year, President Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. signed Executive Order No. 9 directing continued suspension of electronic sabong operations nationwide.
