BUTUAN CITY - Caraga police are now subjected to a stricter implementation of the “One Strike and No Take” policy, the campaign against illegal gambling across Caraga as per the directive of Philippine National Police (PNP) Caraga regional director Brigadier General Joselito T. Esquivel, Jr. The said campaign is in accordance with the command responsibility of every police unit commander in the region especially in working for the decrease in cases of illegal activities in their respective areas.

“Unit commanders are directed to strictly enforce the campaign against corruption and crimes opposing public morals, particularly illegal gambling.

This shall become a determiner in their individual performance evaluation reflecting their competence to continue leading their respective units,” BGen. Esquivel said.

Accordingly, the existence of any illegal gambling activity within their area of responsibility shall result in the relief of the chief of police from their posts.

BGen. Esquivel has in turn urged the public to cooperate and inform the police authority of any activities pertaining to illegal gambling.

“We cannot accomplish this campaign without your help in eradicating all forms of illegal gambling,” he said. (PNP-Caraga/PIACaraga) February 15-21, 2020 Caraga Infocus 16
