ILAGAN, Isabela – Contrary to the claims of the Philippine National Police (PNP) that it has successfully lessened jueteng operations in the country, the illegal numbers game continues to thrive in this country’s third largest province despite the attempts of the provincial government to curb it.


According to reports, jueteng has now seeped into nearly all parts of the province, excluding the remote Pacific coastal towns, with its operations even being stepped up in the runup to the May elections.
