(File photo) MANILA - Taguig-Pateros Representative Alan Peter Cayetano on Thursday stressed the need to permanently ban online cockfighting (e-sabong) after multiple issues were uncovered during the recently concluded hearings by the Senate on the disappearance of around 30 sabungeros (cockfight aficionados). Cayetano said online forms of gambling make betting games available to everyone 24/7, adding that e-sabong and all other forms of internet gambling must be banned altogether. He said Congress would need to pass another law requiring virtual wallet companies to implement a stricter "know-your-customers" policy from registration stage to usage of account. "Imagine, how many sessions would it take for us to institutionalize all of the Committee's recommendations to solve the whole problem? Paano kung habang ginagawa pa lang ang mga batas, may mga nawala na naman? (What would happen if more people disappear while we are still crafting the laws?)" Cayetano said

Published July 30, 2021 4:53pm House Speaker Lord Allan Velasco and Albay Representative Joey Salceda reiterated Friday their call for the passage of the Bayanihan 3 that will provide cash subsidy to those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The imposition of ECQ (enhanced community quarantine) in Metro Manila due to the threat of the Delta variant brings to light the urgency of Bayanihan 3, and we appeal to our counterparts in the Senate to pass this measure and to our economic managers to secure funding for this bill, Velasco said. We must strive to find a balance between keeping our citizens safe while ensuring that their essential needs are secured, he added.
