MANILA, Philippines — The government should continue investigating reports of dozens of people engaged in cockfights going missing, Sen. Risa Hontiveros said as operations of "e-sabong" face suspension.

 

Twenty-three senators, including Senate President Vicente "Tito" Sotto III and Sen. Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa, have urged the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp. to suspend "e-sabong" licenses while the cases of people going missing remain unresolved.

 

"The disappearance of the sabungeros — which allegedly involved game-fixing, the participation of armed men, the supposed lack of CCTV footage, and the circulation of fake photos — must be investigated," Hontiveros said.
