Mayors, police: ‘Jai-teng’ ban leaves 3,000 jobless

LINGAYEN, Pangasinan: More than 3,000 employees of Meridien Vista and Gaming Corp. (MGVC) operating the alleged illegal numbers game known as “jai-teng” lost their jobs after the Department of Justice (DoJ) and Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office (PCSO) issued separate orders for the permanent closure of compzny operations last Monday.

This was learned by The Manila Times from the mayors and chiefs of police in the province who said the operation of Small Town Lottery (STL) in the four cities and 44 towns will replace jai-teng.
