SP junks ordinance permitting cockfights aired live on cable TV
This is in response to the controversial legislative measure that would allow residents to view live telecast of ongoing cockfights in Daraga, Albay.
In declaring its invalidity, the Sangguniang Panlalawigan emphatically said LGU Daraga has no legal basis in authorizing said telecast.
Albay Vice Gov. Harold Imperial, a local cockfighting enthusiast, believes that granting approval to such ordinance is in violation of existing laws and regulations in the country.
