Gambling during wakes

THE EAR - The Philippine Star

GAMBLING DURING WAKES. An Ear reader would like to know if the law allows the holding of gambling activities during funeral wakes. The reader said in a talk with an Ear informer that everytime she goes to the wake for a deceased kin or friend there are always mahjong tables and card games where betting is conducted.  

BIG-TIME GAMBLING. She said these mahjong games and card games like blackjack, “monte” and “tong-its” are real gambling where big sums of money change hands. “They’re not just done to while away the time of visitors,” she said. “OK ba lang kini sa kapolisan?”
