A gambling organization is apparently using a bar and a disco club in the Balibago touristy area as the main area of their illegal gambling activity. According to sources, the club hosts horseracing betting with the races displayed on the television.
According to sources from the Angeles City Police Office, the club owners are bragging about their connections with powerful people in the city. Rumors say that the head of the organization is a member of the Angeles Clark Field Tourism Association. In a police operation, police officers raided the club and took some people in their custody. They were released and now are apparently speaking proudly of their connections with the police.
Members of the tourism industry are worried that the presence of the gambling organization will transform Fields Avenue to a center of illegal gambling and other dubious activities. They have also expressed fear from the option of becoming a preferable target for police raids.
