To maximize State revenues, a lawmaker is proposing that online cockfighting or e-sabong should have identical tax burden as Philippine Offshore Gaming Operators (POGO).

Quezon City Rep. Jesus “Bong” Suntay, a member of the House ways and means committee, said he fully supports calls to tax online betting, especially e-sabong.

The solon said he supports calls for online betting taxation so that government can derive additional revenues from it. “It shouldn’t be a way of life or a staple in our everyday life, in the same way that most cockfights held in LGUs are only allowed in the rueda every Saturday and Sunday,” he said.
