Jueteng is once again back! It has been operating ILLEGALY for about three months now. It has made its return with a "vengeance". Seemingly, it is invincible! Seemingly, it is indestructible! Its operators are seemingly untouchbles! They are seemingly beyond the reach of the law!
And why so?
Everybody knows who the operators of Jueteng are.
Except the police.
The cobradores are seen collecting bets in the open. Everybody sees them. And knows them.
Except the police.
As long as the police can not see.
Can not hear.
Can not talk.
Jueteng is seemingly here to stay.
Our response: "Walang Tataya!" Nobody bets!
This appeal does not only mean that nobody bets on jueteng.
"WALANG TATAYA!" also means that it is about time we become ANGRY at the Jueteng Lords who shamelessly suck the hard earned money of the poor. Who become rich and powerful at the expense of the poor! "Robin Hood" they surely are not!
It is about time we get ANGRY at the inutile police force. They who have the law and the authority on their side but who refuse to enforce the law.
BE ANGRY at the corruption of morals of public officials. BE ANGRY at the corruptors of these officials who live by the principle that there is nothing and nobody that money cannot buy! BE ANGRY at these officials who allow themselves to be bought, corrupted and laughed at by the corruptors themselves!
And so evil thrives in our refusal to be ANGRY.
We have not been ANGRY enough!
