Philippine National Police told to keep investigating e-sabong disappearances

The Philippine National Police has been told to continue investigating the disappearances of 34 people linked to e-sabong as a senate committee hearing into the matter draws to a close.

According to the state-run Philippine News Agency, the chairperson of the Committee on Public Order and Dangerous Drugs, Ronald dela Rosa, has called on the Philippine National Police – Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (PNP-CIDG) to continue looking for the missing cockfighting fans despite only minimal progress having been made.

“Even if we adjourn these committee hearings, I hope you will continue the investigations for the sake of justice for these people who are still missing as of the moment and hold the people behind this liable even if they’re influential,” Dela Rosa said during proceedings on Monday.
