House Deputy Majority Leader Erwin Tulfo on Monday voiced serious concerns over reports on rampant illegal gambling in the country.

At a congressional hearing, Tulfo, nominee of ACT-CIS party-list group, asked the House Committee on Public Order and Safety to summon all police regional directors to explain the reported illegal gambling operations in their respective jurisdictions.
