Duterte urged: Ax ‘corrupt’ officials of race regulator

AN ANTI-GRAFT group has urged President Rodrigo Duterte over the weekend to remove top officials of the Philippine Racing Commission (Philracom), alleging that the agency had committed graft and corruption that caused the government losses of hundreds of millions of pesos.

In a letter sent to the President, the Anti-Trapo Movement (ATM) said the Philracom officials must be “fired and replaced immediately” for allowing the proliferation of online sabong (cockfight) in some of the off-track betting (OTB) stations in the country.
