Stop illegal gambling or face ax, police heads warned

Philippine National Police (PNP) chief Ronald de la Rosa directed all police regional directors to go after illegal gambling operations, giving them 15 days to clear out illegal gambling dens.

“If they cannot stop illegal gambling, then I will relieve them. I am also going to relieve their provincial directors and I am giving the provincial directors the authority to relieve the police chiefs who are not performing or are not acting on my directive,” he told reporters.
