THREAD: What happens to the ruling party PDP-Laban now that it has no presidential candidate? #TheFilipinoVotes

@iampinkywebb speaks to Senator Bato dela Rosa on #TheSource | LIVE bit.ly/3ICiIbd
Sen. Dela Rosa says the Office of the President received yesterday the Senate resolution suspending operations of online cockfights or e-sabong: We're waiting for action on our unanimous decision. Pagcor says they agree with our resolution.
Sen. Dela Rosa: Pagcor said they gave licenses to 7 companies for e-sabong
The 7 e-sabong operators licensed by Pagcor are Belvedere Vista Corporation, Lucky 8 Star Quest, Visayas Cockers Club, Jade Entertainment and Gaming Technologies, Newin Cockers Alliance Gaming Corporation, Philippine Cockfighting International, and Golden Buzzer
The Senate panel adopted a motion to issue a resolution seeking the suspension of online cockfighting as it is currently looking into reports of 34 individuals allegedly linked to e-sabong activities who have been reported missing as early as April last year
Sen. Dela Rosa: CIDG is helping to locate witnesses... Some families of missing persons hesitant to give information.
Sen. Dela Rosa: Sen. Ping Lacson calls the abduction a big embarrassment
Sen. Dela Rosa: My theory on the motive of abduction is game-fixing, somebody wants to show to the world that you can't fool around in this business
Sen. Dela Rosa: Sen. Ralph Recto said government is earning a ‘pittance’ from e-sabong operations
Sen. Dela Rosa: E-sabong is causing social problems like suicide, crimes. Dapat dito tayo mag focus.
Sen. Dela Rosa: 24/7 ang e-sabong. The scope goes beyond our jurisdiction. Hindi rin natin alam kung bata ang pumupusta.
Sen. Dela Rosa says he is not in favor of e-sabong operations: Gambling, whether legal or illegal, is immoral
Sen. Dela Rosa: Hindi ko pa alam ang presidential bet ng PDP-Laban. Hindi pa sila nagpapatawag ng meeting.

Sara Duterte is the ruling party's VP bet.
Sen. Dela Rosa says he has a preferred presidential candidate but refuses to name his bet: Hintayin muna natin si Pangulong Duterte. Malaki utang na loob ko sa kanya.
Sen. Dela Rosa on wanting to form a unity bloc with Robin Padilla, Jinggoy Estrada, Win Gatchalian: Miyembro naman sila ng UniTeam and I support them because of Inday Sara. Tinutulungan ko sila in my own little way.
