DILG slams Facebook for inaction on illegal online sabong operation
An official of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) expressed frustration over the continued illegal online sabong (cockfighting) operations on Facebook.
In a news briefing on Wednesday, June 1, DILG Undersecretary Jonathan Malaya admitted that they are saddened by the turn of events where the illegal e-sabong operation can still be viewed on some Facebook accounts.
He said the DILG has sent a formal letter to Meta, the Facebook operator in the country informing them of the Facebook accounts and pages of e-sabong operators that entice the public to bet on the unlawful gambling activity.
