Manila Vice Mayor Isko Moreno cries political harassment after police arrested him Saturday in Manila over alleged bingo operations in the area. Moreno believes incumbent Manila Mayor Alfredo Lim is behind the arrest, but Lim denies the accusation. Moreno is the running mate of former president Joseph Estrada who is running against Lim for mayor of Manila. The vice mayor says he was not violating Presidential Decree No. 1602, which prescribes penalties for illegal gambling. He says the bingo activity could not be considered illegal, because no wager was made. In a phone interview, Moreno says, “We will seek justice. We will not allow tyranny to prevail in Manila.”
