government is also earning from these betting firms which is why its becoming a usual to approve bills.
should the government risk the teens today knowing that cockfighting arenas can routinely operate everyday online?  

I do think it is imperative to address the issue of online gambling. Given the fact that the government had acknowledged that it affected the community due to its highly-addictive 50/50 chance of winning, it is inevitable for law makers to notice such problem.

Anything that helps address the issue of gambling is definitely welcomed. Rather than the lawmakers being silent on this issue, any initiative combating such addiction may at least help our fellow citizens on being aware on it. One suggestion that I could think of is to increase the tax on these establishments and regulate them further so people would somehow think before they engage into such.

a law maker Cayetano in our country Philippines calls for the rejection of legeslative bills for the successive passing of franchise bills for online cockfight betting firms. reason is, many lives had already been ruined because of the online "sabong" in the country. there was a news about a local celebrity who loses his fortune because of online betting. the article mentions the lad who was arrested for failing to pay debt of more than $10k.

Quote
Online cockfighting and gambling have been described by former Speaker Alan Peter Cayetano as the “new pandemic” that requires immediate government action in order to save Filipino families from social, moral and economic degradation.

not sure if he will suceed with his campaign.  its governed by the big boys in the country namely Atong Ang. it could just be Cayetanos election gimmick since he is running for a position again but he has a good intention.

anyone who isnt from philippines, may really find this animal cruelty which may only exist underground but this cockfighting is already part of the culture. even when i was a kid i already been exposed to mini cockfighting arena every festival where people bet for the lives of the roosters.
