The Quezon City Task Force Disiplina (TFD) recovered a tablet distributed by the QC government from a group of residents drinking in the street at around 11:45 p.m. on February 14.
According to the report, the residents ran away after seeing the TFD and a tablet was left on the table which an “online sabong” was playing.
The tablet was distributed by the local government for Grade 7-12 public students for their blended learning activities.
“Sa gitna ng pandemya, ginawan natin ng paraan sa tulong ng Quezon City Council na magkaroon ng kanya-kanyang tablet ang mga estudyante para sa blended learning. Tumaya po tayo sa edukasyon ng mga bata, at hindi po ito dapat gamitin sa sugal o anumang iligal na gawain (In the middle of the pandemic, with the help of the Quezon City Council, we gave each student a tablet for blended learning. This is for the students, it should not be used in gambling or any illegal actions),” Quezon City Mayor Belmonte said.
