there you go again folks.
I still remember what has happened last month and yet another expose is at it again. but this isn't new but still media is still making it a hot news. and that is "JUETENG"
I believe this illegal Gambling imitation from Chinese has caused Erap to step down and received trial with son Jinggoy.
I feel pity for the witnesses who had been into this for a long time. they're lives are simply not the same anymore. for our perspective, we don't know if the new set of witnesses are authenticated or fake.
More so, i feel ashamed because My origin Province (Pangasinan) has gotten involved into this illegal gambling.I agree with some people, if the Government wants to stop Jueteng, then it will stop.but it didn't, the TEMPTATION of Money is just too strong.
However, I do recall, there was a mylotter who actually played this game. and won more than 10$ after betting on a few pesos. wow
I don't know. not Optimistic on this one since a lot are involved. and it's probably been the livelihood on some poor families there.

You know i will hang someone by his big toes if he ever dare playing that, sweetie.
They should honestly get rid of that stupid game.
It makes people greedy and unhappy.
I honestly don't care where it came from or who started it, it should be stopped and very quickly.
TATA.

Unfortunately, only those in the Government can stop it. unless they are part of it, the issue will die and it will be back to normal. i don't care either, but i also wanted it to stop. most specially if this illegal game is benefitting the people.to some at least@LetranKnight25 (33117)

I think Jueteng is just like the ez 2 of the lotto. Only that lotto was legalied. We can't stop Jueteng as there are operators who want to earn and people involve in it's operation got their salaries from this. Jueteng and ez2 lotto are just the same form of gambling. So there are suggestion of legalizing it as ez2 was legalized. If you can't stop them, Join them, perhaps some government officials believe in this saying.

Hello Bing,
Ez2 is Small Town Lottery. and it has failed miserably, knowing that only a few people are winning in that country Jueteng game. STL was the counter attack against Jueteng, but it failed knowing that Jueteng, not only exist but also it's not that good anymore since the public prefers J to be easier.

Hi, Knight.:)
It seems that gambling is part of our culture, ei. There's nothing the government can do to stop it. So, why don't they make it legal anyway? The more the government is trying to stop its operation by rendering it illegal, the more corruption grows.
If jueteng is legal in our country, the operators need not bribe anybody so that they can continue to operate. The government will be able to help our local folks augment their income, too. Let's face it, dear, legal or illegal, people will try their lucks in gambling what little dough they got in their pockets.
So, why not make it legal? The government can generate tax from it,too, if they do so.

Hello eureka,
Yes, it has become part of our lives, even in some other countries. but there's no way i would accept that this would be even part of our culture. but it is happening because corruption has now become part of the government. I noticed while they are making it illegal, it's get worse. i am not sure still since some people have no control over gambling that they may end up being slaves to it.

They definitely should not legalize jueteng since most of the profits will only go to those greedy government officials who wants to take advantage of such gambling game. Temptation of Money is really too strong and that's why greed takes over most of the time. And thats why Jueteng will still continue for more years to come.

jueteng will stay I'll bet my hard-earned peso our dear lawmakers will not legalized it. Why? They do not want to lose millions of pesos for their kabets and for their campaign coffers. Sila lang naman ang tunay na nakikinabang dito and of course their kumare't kumpareng gambling lords . Heard what the Palace had said about this exposure? Where's the evidences? God, naghahanap ng wala? Walang paper trace sa jueteng and they know it!
