Aliño assured the public that all given hotlines are serviceable and ready to receive reports through call or text to prevent the proliferation of illegal gambling activities in the city.

Benitez appreciated Aliño for the hotlines.

Meanwhile, Aliño handed over to Benitez the drug test results of the 43 commissioned police officers during the press conference.

The results showed that all police officers, including Aliño, tested negative for illegal drugs.
