DAVAO CITY –— The personnel of Task Force Davao here issued stern warning to all its personnel not to engage in online Sabong or E-Sabong, saying it might cause their job.

When asked how can he guarantee that no one violates the order? Comia stressed “Continues supervision and continues talk to troops helps to remind them t=of the disadvantages and the ill-effects that it will brought, we must continue to educate our personnel not to play it because it will destroy their families and might lead to their dismissal from service.”
