Presidential candidate Sen. Manny Pacquiao on Friday said he favors the regulation of online sabong operations instead of total stoppageDoing so will allow the government to regulate such type of gambling to prevent minors from joining.&quot;Ang online sabong sa bansa natin ay kulturang Pilipino po yan. Kailangan po nating i-regulate at ma-manage ng husto ng ating gobyerno na lahat ng maglalaro ay may sapat na kakayahan at edad. Hindi yung mga bata pumapasok at nagsusugal diyan...Hindi po ako pabor sa pagsara ng e-sabong,&quot; he said during the Panata sa Bayan Presidential Forum.
