DAGUPAN CITY – A staff of a small time lottery (STL) franchise disputed
the claim of other people that the death recently of a lawyer here ensued
because of the rivalry between two gambling entities.
“It is not true that Anthony Ang-angco
and Lito Millora have a hand on the killing of Attorney Crisostomo. He is even
their lawyer despite Attorney Val counseling with the Peryahan ng Bayan in
Pangasinan,” the staff, who asked for anonymity, told this newspaper.
In the fateful morning of May 17, a gunman wearing a motorcycle helmet shot
to death lawyer Val Crisostomo while he was standing near a restaurant that is
only across the Hall of Justice in Barangay Bonuan Gueset of this city.
News report said he just attended a hearing of a frustrated murder case
as a private prosecutor at the Regional Trial Court here before he fell to a
volley of fires from the assassin’s .45 hand gun.
Ang-angco and Millora used to run together the Speed Game, Inc (SGI) until both have a falling out when Millora and then SGI President Edward J. Aguilar fired Ang-angco as the numbers game’s administrator.
PCSO backed new SGI President David Diciano sacked Millora as
General Manager in Pangasinan and appointed Ang-angco as the General Manager of
the lottery in the huge province.
PnB, on the other hand,
siphoned some of the P177 million presumptive monthly retail receipt
(PMRR) of SGI that it remitted to the Philippine Charity Sweepstake Office when
it entered the numbers’ game in January this year.
That raid hailed from the
dispute between Ang-angco and national “Gambling Lord” Charlie “Atong” Ang,
head of Meridien Vista and Gaming Corp. (MVGC)
Angangco, Millora,
and Alfie Sorinao sued Ang with a preliminary injunction in 2016 at the RTC
here to stop the operation of “jai-teng” that purportedly raked P1.5 million
daily collections in forty-four towns and four cities' Pangasinan.
The source wondered that
how can Millora be behind the assassination when his twenty million of
pesos’ mansion in Pasig City he loaned at BDO should have been foreclosed when
Angangco provided him a lawyer in Crisostomo to deflect the foreclosure.
According
to the Manila Times, Crisostomo initiated the filing
of several pending criminals, administrative, and civil cases against agents of
the National Bureau of Investigation, officials of the Pangasinan’s Philippines
National Police and other private individuals in relation to the operation of
the PnB.
PCSO
Chairman Anselmo Simeon P. Pinili furnished last February 16, 2019 NBI
Director Dante A. Gierran about his letter to President Rodrigo Duterte on the
illegal and unauthorized operations of Globaltech Mobile Online Corporation’s
(Globabltech) PnB that has been adversely affecting the operations of
PCSO’s Small Town Lottery Authorized (STL) Agents.
Then PCSO General Manager Alexander F. Balutan
cited that the franchisee of Globalech to operate PNB in various provinces were
terminated last February 17, 2016.
