March 26, 2011 | 12:00am

MANILA, Philippines - A man was hacked to death by a street toughie over gambling money at a wake in Tondo, Manila before dawn yesterday.

Suspect Rodelio Saclo Jr., 25, was playing a coin game with victim Michael Manalo, 32, when they started arguing over bet payment. Saclo went home and returned with a sword. Manalo tried to run away, but a man named Rosano Maramias reportedly hit him with a bench.

Saclo attacked Manalo repeatedly, hacking off the victim’s right hand, then walked away. Police are looking into reports that Saclo has been involved in at least three hacking incidents.

No system, no control

What were some DOTr advisers thinking when they recommended to Secretary Jimmy Bautista that the EDSA Bus Lane be redesigned to counterflow so that non-buses will stop entering the lane? If the President of the Philippines can finally outlaw POGO in the Philippines by simply signing a piece of legislation, why can’t the DOTr, the MMDA, the LTO or the DPWH declare that the BUS LANE IS FOR BUSES ONLY!
