Archie Francisco Gamboa, assured that no one will be spared in the continuing fight against all forms of illegal gambling.

Kraft said the respondents including a barangay chair, barangay kagawad and a militia are detained at the DCPO headquarters stockade.
He said numbers game like the last two digits remains illegal and he is gathering pieces of evidence against men-in-uniform who are in cahoots of its modus-operandi.
Kraft warned the station commanders that the proliferation of numbers game in their respective areas is a ground for relief.

Kraft emphasized that the Social Amelioration Program is an assistance given by government to ease the impact of the pandemic to the ordinary people’s way of life.
He said residents must use the assistance properly in buying for their daily needs, and not on gambling activities.
Kraft lauded the station commander of San Pedro Street and other stations which are performing their duty against illegal gambling.
He warned that the police will continue its campaign against illegal gambling especially now that COVID-19 cases are still rising.
“Illegal gambling is not tolerated and it is a national policy of the Philippine National Police,” Kraft said. (PIA XI-Joey Sem G. Dalumpines)
MANILA --Philippine National Police (PNP) chief, Gen. Archie Francisco Gamboa on Friday wants regular destruction of video karera (horse racing video game) machines as part of continuous efforts to topple illegal gambling in the country.
Gamboa led the destruction of 56 units of video karera machines with Quezon City Police District (QCPD) chief, Brig. Gen. Ronnie Montejo to show their accomplishment in the anti-illegal gambling drive.
'Gusto ko gawin destruction every week (I want the destruction to be done every week),' Gamboa told reporters in a chance interview after the event held at Camp Karingal, Quezon City.
The destroyed units were confiscated from the 22 various anti-gambling operations in Quezon City, Montejo said.
The PNP chief reiterated that all forms of illegal gambling are prohibited in the country such as jueteng, video karera, tupada (cockfighting), among others.
Gamboa earlier ordered a one-strike policy among police officials who would fail to stop illegal gambling operations in their areas of jurisdiction.
He said the actions of all police unit commanders in enforcing the campaign against corruption and crimes against public morals, particularly illegal gambling would weigh 'heavily' in the succeeding rounds of individual performance evaluation.
He urged the public to help the police to beat the operators of illegal gambling.
'We seek the help of the community, tulungan ang kapulisan (We seek the help of the community to help the police),' Gamboa said.
He said that he was satisfied with the action of the QCPD, which he singled out recently for its accomplishment against illegal gambling.
For his part, Montejo said the drive against illegal gambling in the city would never stop.
'Maganda naman po ang ginagawa ng station commanders (The works of the station commanders have been good),' Montejo told reporters.

He commended his officers and men for their relentless efforts in the conduct of anti-illegal gambling operations which yielded significant arrests and confiscation of paraphernalia.
Montejo also encouraged the public to report to authorities if they know any illegal gambling operations in the area so that the police can immediately respond to it.
Recently, National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) chief, Maj. Gen. Debold Sinas ordered the arrest of the owner of establishments found hosting video karera machines.
Sinas also said that he wanted more teeth in the operations.
Sinas said those leasing their spaces to video karera operators get a huge profit from this activity.
