CASINO. The Ear heard that there are politicians who are running for various government positions who frequent the casinos. The Ear informer, a person who works in the Internet industry and a frequent visitor of various casinos in Cebu City and Lapu-Lapu, said that he would almost always see these politicians gambling in the casinos.
GAMBLING AND POLITICS. The informer told The Ear: A politician in the opposition who is running for reelection in Cebu City can be seen even on week nights playing the dice game. Another political candidate running for city councilor can be seen playing the slot machines in Fuente. A congressman in Cebu province could be seen also playing the slot machines in the hotel casino. A former mayor who is now retired from politics could be seen almost every night in the Lapu-Lapu hotel casino. The informer added, “Kaning si __, pirmi nako makit-an sa casino pero dili magdugay. Basin pang unwind ra na iyaha.” The mediaman is posing this question to the public: “Will you vote for politicians who gamble?”
