(Pagcor), and directs the monitoring and blocking of any existing or emerging e-sabong platforms. The measure also prohibits transmitting, placing, or receiving online betting on live-streamed cockfights, or broadcasting of the same through online or other remote modes of betting. Villanueva, author of HB 10307, emphasized the measure is crucial to protect Filipinos from the harmful effects of online gambling, which has led to financial ruin, family conflict, and even criminal activities
