The Senate, before adjourning the last plenary session of the 18th Congress Thursday night, adopted the findings in a committee report on the Senators’ inquiry into the unsolved case of 34 missing individuals believed abducted in disputes related to e-sabong anomalies.
Noting there was similarity in the pattern of the abductions, De la Rosa surmised the probable motives were game-fixing called “tyope” and “cloning” of an e-sabong website, citing the case of victim Ricardo Lasco Jr, who was a master agent abducted in his house in San Pablo, Laguna. Moreover, Sen. Dela Rosa also prodded the Department of Social Welfare and Development to extend assistance to families of missing cockfight aficionados, and the Department of Education to “include in the curriculum discussions on the perils of gambling and its nature as a social ill, based on Republic Act No. 11476, otherwise known as the “GMRC and Values Education Act.”
