Wives and children’s new cross: the online sabong

Some wives and children of husbands and fathers who are addicted to cockfighting celebrated when the pandemic led to the closure of cockpit arenas. “Kay among pambayad sa tubig ug kuryente di na gyud tawon makompromiso,” said one wife. But when the online sabong was greenlighted during the pandemic, the same wives and children once again saw their husbands and fathers hooked to the virtual gambling. “Magsige nalang silag talpak-talpak. Unya puro raba cash in, walay cash out,” the wife said.
