DUMAGUETE CITY, Nov. 18 - The operation of the Small Town Lottery (STL) will only be allowed if the local government unit concerned will allow it, according to Secretary Jessie Robredo of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).
Robredo’s clarification comes in the wake of reports that the operation of STL is being forced by the government while keeping the numbers game "jueteng" illegal.
Robredo, however, admits that there is a problem in Metro Manila, where STL has apparently become the legal cover for jueteng.
