According to Lee, they conducted the operation after confirming the information given by the local residents. Based on the report of Manila Bulletin, Cabusao operates weekly cockfighting in a compound he owned.
“The persons going inside the compound were also monitored to be violating social distancing rules and were not wearing face masks which is a complete disregard of quarantine rules in Metro Manila,” said Lee.
“The area was placed under surveillance and was raided when our agents confirmed the ‘tupada’ game taking place right inside the EPD policeman’s compound,” he added.
Authorities seized cockfighting paraphernalia including cash bets and several fighting cocks after the raid. There were 18 individuals arrested including the police.
They were all taken to the IMEG headquarters at Camp Crame. IMEG, formerly the Counter-Intelligence Task Force (CITF), was created to run after erring policemen.
