snoop1130 Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 E-sabong involves remote betting on cockfights. Philstar.com MANILA, Philippines — The Philippine National Police has reached out to the Department of Information and Communications Technology and the National Telecommunications Commission to take down websites engaged in e-sabong, or the remote betting on cockfights, that the government suspended in May 2022. Speaking at a press briefing on Monday, Police Gen. Rodolfo Azurin said the PNP is targeting five "active websites that continue to host e-sabong games." President Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr. issued Executive Order No. 9 last December directing the continued suspension of e-sabong operations in the Philippines. The NTC has, in the past, issued orders to Internet Service Providers to block websites although freedom of expression advocates have raised that this should be done through court orders.
