Details of the Submitted Evidence
According to sources, the evidence includes digital records, testimonies, and other investigative materials gathered from various angles of the case. These items are expected to shed light on the alleged involvement of certain individuals in the online cockfighting networks and their possible connection to the disappearances.
Local leaders noted that the PNP’s continued cooperation with the DOJ highlights the government’s commitment to resolving this sensitive matter. The collaboration between law enforcement and legal authorities is crucial to ensure that justice is served.

Officials reported that the PNP remains vigilant in monitoring online cockfighting activities, which continue to pose challenges due to their digital nature. The agency is also urging the public to report any suspicious activities related to this matter.
Next Steps in the Investigation
The DOJ is currently reviewing the newly submitted evidence to determine the appropriate legal actions. Sources said that this phase may involve further hearings or the filing of charges against suspected parties once sufficient proof is established.
