'E-sabong' to go on but Palace orders police, NBI to investigate disappearances

E-sabong involves remote betting on cockfights.

Philstar.com

MANILA, Philippines — Malacañang on Wednesday ordered the Philippine National Police and the National Bureau of Investigation to investigate the disappearances of 31 people linked to e-sabong.

E-sabong, which involves the remote wagering on cockfights, is regulated by the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corp., which the Palace also ordered to check operators' compliance with security requirements and with other commitments in their license agreements.

The memorandum, signed by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea on March 8, was issued in response to a Senate resolution asking Pagcor to suspend e-sabong operations until the cases of the missing sabungeros are resolved.

Have you changed… or has Thailand?

Merlin · 12 hours ago12 hr

When I first came here, it was all pretty predictable. Nights out, bars, always somewhere busy. That was the routine. These days it’s different. Quieter, less going out. I still drop in now and then, but it’s not the center of things anymore. The scene itself feels different too.Fewer girls around, or just moved online? Prices definitely not what they used to be Thailand not quite the “cheap” place it once was So sometimes I wonder… has the place changed, or have I? Do you still live the same

The war is going great

1tooth · March 6Mar 6

Washington and Tel Aviv now claim they’re “lowering the intensity” of their strikes so they can keep attacking longer. Spare us this bull<deleted>. Iran has been throwing waves of cheap drones and missiles precisely to exhaust US and Israeli weapons stockpiles,and it’s painfully obvious that strategy is working. And there is more: Russia and China are providing targeting data to allow Iran to successful destroy American assets. Is it working? Let’s see: The American satellite imaging

United States and Israel Launch Strikes on Iran

United States and Israel Launch Strikes on Iran The United States and Israel launched coordinated strikes on Iran early Saturday, marking a dramatic escalation after weeks of tense nuclear negotiations between Washington and Tehran. A U.S. official described the operation as “not a small strike,” while Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz called it a “preemptive” action. Israel simultaneously declared a nationwide state of emergency in anticipation of retaliation. Donald Trump: ‘Massive and On

Iran boasts 1 million fighters on standby for potential US invasion

Iran boasts 1 million fighters on standby for potential US invasion Tehran’s hardline leadership is turning up the heat — claiming a vast war-ready force while openly flirting with nuclear escalation as tensions with Washington spiral. Officials tied to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps say up to one million fighters are “on standby” for a potential US ground invasion — a figure likely intended as psychological warfare as much as military reality. The warning comes as Donald Trump ramps

1% or less in Thailand. In the US, rates still average 4%. Also, any US$ cash balance held in a US based Revolut account earns 4%, plus your deposit is FDIC insured. Wise on the other hand, can't provide any government guarantees on your deposits.

Is America Really Good at Winning Wars?
Is America Really Good at Winning Wars?

1tooth replied to Kyoto Kyle's topic in ASEAN NOW Community Pub

It was said recently that the US military has exactly the same approach, strategy and tactics as they had in WW2. US is fighting a 1944 war, while Iran is fighting a 2026 war. america is blowing up novelty balloons in the shape of tanks, and 50 year old ships and calling it success, but Iran is fighting with drones and missiles. As a result, america has great highlight reals, but Iran's dominance of arabian/israeli airspace and maritime routes suggest Iran is winning the war, irrespective of what various media outlets report.

pomchop replied to snoop1130's topic in Thailand News - Discussion

so airlines have to verify citizenship and ticket price is different for Thai passport holders? I'm sure airlines love adding another complexity to ticket prices. Yes, airlines are generally required to collect various airport taxes, facility fees, and immigration fees on behalf of governments and airport authorities as part of the ticket purchase. These charges—such as landing fees, security fees, and passenger service charges—vary by country and airport, and are usually bundled into the final ticket price, though some are paid separately upon departure

Is America Really Good at Winning Wars?

Kyoto Kyle · 7 hours ago7 hr

You always hear America going on about how great its military is, how strong it is, blah blah blah. But then I started thinking about how many recent wars they have actually won in any real sense. Vietnam? No. Afghanistan? No. Iraq? Depends who you ask. Korea? More of a stalemate than anything. Somalia? Not exactly a glowing success either. And now Iran. Who knows? So I am not really convinced by all the chest beating. My take on it is a bit different. Yeah, they have some of the most advanced

When Did Plants Become “Drugs”?

SoCal1990 · 21 hours ago21 hr

I was thinking about this. When mankind regularly used things they found in the wild, medicinals like marijuana or opium thousands of years ago, did they even think of them as drugs or as creating a dependency if used regularly? Or were they just… plants? Back then, if something came from nature and had a positive and noticeable effect, it was probably just seen as useful. Something with value. Something worth keeping around. A lot of it was probably just trial and error, figuring out what hel

Is Thailand the Most Formal Informal Country on Earth?

123Stodg · yesterday at 06:08 PM1 day

One thing I have never quite been able to wrap my head around is how Thailand manages to be both incredibly formal and completely informal at the exact same time. On one hand, everything looks like it belongs in an ornate ceremony. Postal addresses are about three paragraphs long. People’s full names can take up half a passport page. Job titles sound like something out of a government ministry from the 1800s. And if you walk into certain offices, everyone is dressed formally like they are about
