MANILA, Philippines — The Department of the Interior and Local Government reported that seven illegal e-sabong operations have been shut down following the crackdown ordered by the department.

 

DILG spokesperson Jonathan Malaya said the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group is looking into the background of the administrators of these websites to file charges.

 

“These criminals thrive on the anonymity of the internet and they are taking advantage of this but the PNP together with our colleagues from the National Bureau of Investigation will not rest until they have been unmasked,” he said in a statement sent to reporters.
