ILOILO City – Two suspected “bookies” bet collectors were arrested on Luna Street, La Paz district on Saturday night.
Mila Gonce, 62, and son Ruel, 30 – residents of Barangay Bolilao, Mandurriao – were detained at the La Paz police station.
Task Force Illegal Gambling officers of the La Paz police caught them soliciting bets for the illegal numbers game around 8 p.m., a police report showed.
Several cotejos (betting stubs) and P470 worth of cash bets were seized from them.
The suspects were holders of Small Town Lottery identification cards, police said.
