Corpus said they have to impose the full force of the law to teach some stubborn citizens who refuse to refrain from illegal activities despite of several warnings by the authorities.

In Capas town, Superintendent Felix Verbo identified the suspected “sakla” operators as Rodolfo Batungbacal and Renel Macaraeg, both residents of Barangay Manlapig.

The two suspects were arrested following the operation conducted by the police in Barangay Lawi over the weekend.

Confiscated from the two suspects were one game board, two sets of playing cards and cash money amounting to P6,629.

In Concepcion town, police authorities nabbed Aries Bilman, card dealer (balasador) of Barangay San Roque, Magalang Pampanga; and Jerlon Sales, sakla bettor, of Barangay Nabaling, Magalang, Pampanga.

Town police chief Superintendent Randy Arceo said that seized from the suspected sakla operators were one set Spanish card, a “sakla” table and cash money amounting to P5,130.

“Instead of betting their money on illegal gambling, they should use their earnings to the more profitable things like their children’ education, shelter, clothing or put a small business that would be beneficial to their families,” Corpus added.

There are numerous opportunities for investments between US$100,000 and $500,000.  These opportunities are especially attractive for semi-retirement lifestyles.  The best, easiest and safest way to go about with this kind of investments is to deal with an existing business – a locator as business in Clark is called – so the investor is spared of the hassle of dealing with red-tape and bureaucracy that is always present in third-world countries.  The existing locator has already cleared the path so to speak and even if it means asking for small premium for a partnership, it is very much worth the while of a new investor to take this route.  Business opportunities depend largely on the skills, interests and experiences of the investors but there is a strong demand for more establishments in these areas: entertainment, shops, office space, construction and engineering services, restaurants and bars, transportation and travel assistance.
