A new gambling facility has been opened at the Metrowalk mall by a close relative of an influential politician close to President Arroyo.

Councillor Victorino Obina has urged authorities to investigate the facility, citing several dialogues with Metrowalk locators.

“I’ve met with business groups and they’re confused why a decent family destination has agreed to allow the operation of a gambling den,” Obino said in at a recent press briefing.
