It breaks my heart as a father upon watching "Imbestigador" last Saturday about the fate of a child whom his mother abandoned in exchange of gambling... be it Tong-Its,etc. For me gambling is is bad habit and must be eradicated from the minds of the Filipino people. What do you think?

i know the situation. in our place "swertres" is such a hit. gambling is really bad if it's the only thing you know how to do. many lives are ruined because of it. the reasons why one should stop doing it are too many to mention. bottom line, don't start if you're not into it yet. occasional gambling is okay i guess if you can afford it. moderation is the key to everything.
