Fillipino's Think Their President Takes Gambling Bribes
Filed in archive Gambling General by jo on August 9, 2005
Juetung is massive in the Phillipines. Like many countries, its a simple numbers game thats become a national obsession. But the difference is that juetung is illegal in the Phillipines and is currently embroiled in a government scandal.

As such, the gambling lords have shut shop on the game - which pays out odds of 45-1 for picking 2 numbers between 1 and 37

81% of the population think their president, Gloria Arroyo and her family was involved in a receiving payoffs from gambling syndicatesThis isn't the first time this has happened in the country. Former President Joseph Estrada was replaced by Arroyo when he was accused of profiting in juetung operations and a uprising took place. He's still under house arrest

But the question underlying all this is - do you legalise the game - which has been called both a 'cancer' and a 'dream' for the population, or does it remain illegal amid constant accusations of Bribery and corruption - whatever, juetung is a game that truly can take down a country.
