LEAD A HEALTHY LIFE! DO NOT GAMBLE!
Police Senior Superintendent Edgardo G Tinio, Provincial Director, Pampanga Police Provincial Office called anew on all sectors of the society most especially the youth sector to help the PNP of the province stamp out all forms of illegal gambling most especially video karera machine (VKM) operations which have influenced seriously the values of children now a days.
Coinciding with the traditional flagraising ceremony today at the provincial headquarters is the ceremonial destructions of the thirty nine (39) VKMs confiscated by the Provincial Intelligence Branch headed by PSUPT RAUL APOSTOL VALENCIA and the municipal/ city police stations of Masantol, Macabebe, Minalin, Mabalacat, Porac, Sasmuan, San Simon and City of San Fernando during various anti-illegal gambling operations.
The signing of peace covenants by all the Chiefs of Police followed the ceremonial destruction. The activity was witnessed by some of the members of the KAYABE (KayanakanYamanningBalen at EhempluLabanquengDroga), a youth organization established by the PPO last May 2011.
The anti-crime campaign of the PPO will continue without let-up and that includes operations against all forms of illegal gambling activities and other violations of law. PSSUPT TINIO emphasized in his statement that deep-rooted as it is, completely stopping illegal gambling requires a total approach strategy by all sectors. Police action is only one dimension of the total approach, the larger and more important elements must come from the local political leadership, community and all stakeholders.
PPO’s campaign against all forms of illegal gambling has been relentless and the drive against illegal gambling would be best described as a ‘shared responsibility and accountability’ between all sectors of the society. Hence, the people of Pampanga should not indulge in this illegal activity so as to live a healthy and peaceful life.***

At about 2:00 A.M. of November 9, 2011, three (3) unidentified suspects on board said motorcycle were flagged down by responding policemen when the back rider suddenly fired on them. This prompted the policemen to return fire hitting the two (2) suspects while the other armed suspect ran towards the Angel Garden Landscaping area, also at said place. Augmentation team from Regional Public Safety Battalion 3 (RPSB 3) and Provincial Public Safety Company (PPSC) responded at the scene of incident.
