Among Ed files Plunder Charges against Pampanga jueteng lord

Earlier, I received an email from the mailing list of ESEF-Phils about the filed plunder charges against Rodolfo “Bong” Pineda, alleged “Jueteng Boss”, by Gov. Ed Panlilio of the province of Pampanga.  It is not new to many that “Bong” Pineda has been the most notorious jueteng lord in their province but still up to this time, he’s still enjoying a luxurious life from his plunders.

In line with this move by Among Ed, an email has been made so that Filipinos, like me, could express their support.  Here it is: wesupportgovpanlilio@gmail.com 

Gov. Grace Padaca of Isabela and Mayor Jesse Robredo of Naga City have also express their support for Gov. Ed Panlilio crusade against illegal gambling, which has been proven to be one of the main culprit why families particularly in Pampanga province is suffering from poverty and moral degradation.

OPEN LETTER IN SUPPORT OF GOV. EDDIE “AMONG ED” PANLILIO OF PAMPANGA 
26 June 2008

 
HON. EDDIE PANLILIO
Governor
Province of Pampanga
 
 
Dear Gov. Panlilio:
 
Greetings of peace!
 
We have learned from the news that you have recently filed a Plunder case against Rodolfo “Bong” Pineda for having conspired in pocketing millions of pesos from illegal gambling payoffs particularly operations of “jueteng”. We would like to inform you that we are in full support of your crusade against illegal gambling which is seen as one of the major reasons for the rampant poverty that is pervasive in our country. Illegal gambling does not only destroy the life of the gambler but it also affects every member of his family thus, we believe that this filing of a case against one of the country’s alleged illegal gambling lords is a welcome development towards bringing to justice those that have continued to corrupt our society.
