Budget Secretary and Senators oppose reviving online cockfighting in the Philippines due to minimal revenue contribution and social issues.

Budget Secretary Amenah Pangandaman opposes reviving online cockfighting (e-sabong) in the Philippines, stating minimal revenue contribution and social issues. Senators also oppose the proposal. Although e-sabong generated P6.2bn before being banned, the government sees no need to revive it, with PAGCOR reporting a 32.32% increase in revenue without e-sabong operations.
