But things took a shocking turn when more than 30 men disappeared without a trace. In nine months, groups of cockfighters disappeared in three major arenas, while others were abducted in their homes or on the road.
Meanwhile, a woman watches as her partner, an e-sabong agent earning millions, gets snatched away right in front of her.
