The national government has approved the operation of licensed cockpits and the conduct of cockfighting activities in areas under modified general community quarantine (MGCQ) or lower, Malacañang announced Friday.
Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, however, said that public health guidelines should be adhered to at all times.
Under Resolution 74 issued by the Inter-Agency Task Force on Emerging Infectious Diseases last October 15, the local government units still have the final decision on whether cockfighting activities can proceed in their respective localities.
The same resolution also prohibits in-person audience, online or remote betting, and the live broadcasting/telecasting of cockfights.
“Hindi pupuwedeng may audience. Kinakailangan yung mga manok at yung kanilang mga naghahawak lamang ang naroon,” said Roque.
