I think that Spaniards were the people to influence us with cock fighting. Yes in the Philippines, cock fighting is a common betting game in my country. There's even a TV network that broadcast cockfights.
Oh wow, a channel actually broadcast it. Does this mean that it is actually legal? I ask simply out of curiosity.
yes, if it's illegal the channel wouldn't broadcast it or else police will make a move on them and arrest the people participating in illegal gambling.
