In a stunning twist that has reignited national attention, former Ilocos Sur Governor and influential figure Luis “Chavit” Singson has made a cryptic but powerful revelation about the ongoing mystery of the missing sabungeros — the series of disappearances that has haunted the country’s cockfighting scene for over two years.

During a live interview with a local radio program, Singson’s tone turned serious when the topic of the unsolved case came up.

“Hindi ako nagbibintang, pero may nalalaman ako,” he said.
(“I’m not accusing anyone, but I know something.”)

His statement instantly sent shockwaves through the studio — and across social media.

🐓 THE MYSTERY THAT SHOOK THE NATION

The “missing sabungeros” case refers to a string of disappearances of young men involved in online cockfighting operations—locally known as e-sabong—between 2021 and 2023. Most were last seen heading to or from cockpit arenas, and their families have received no calls, no ransoms, no traces.

More than 30 men vanished without a trace.

Despite investigations, Senate hearings, and the suspension of e-sabong licenses, no solid leads ever emerged.

Until now.

🔥 CHAVIT’S BOMBSHELL HINT

Chavit Singson, a longtime political figure and businessman known for his deep ties to both the legal and underground cockfighting worlds, is now the first high-profile personality to claim he holds critical information.

“Basta may mga galaw na hindi alam ng publiko. And I know these circles. I’ve been around this industry all my life,” he said during the interview.

He refused to name names. But he dropped several chilling hints:

That powerful syndicates were involved.

That the missing men may have known too much.

And that there were “people in uniform” who either looked the other way — or worse, participated.

“Hindi mawawala ang gano’n karaming tao nang walang malalaking galawan sa likod,” he added.
(“That many people don’t disappear without big forces behind it.”)

😱 SOCIAL MEDIA ERUPTS

Netizens wasted no time connecting the dots. Hashtags like #JusticeForSabungeros and #ChavitKnows began trending on X (formerly Twitter) and Facebook.

“If even Chavit is speaking up, something is REALLY wrong.”
“He’s not just anyone. He knows the world of cockfighting from the inside out.”

Others demanded immediate action:

“Senate must call him to testify. This cannot be ignored.”

👁️ A CASE FILLED WITH QUESTIONS

From vanished CCTV footage to mysterious withdrawals from victims’ bank accounts, the case has always been riddled with red flags. One sabungero was reportedly last seen being taken by men claiming to be police — only for local precincts to deny any operation.

A Senate hearing in 2022 exposed several loopholes in the security of cockpit operations, including:

Unregistered betting agents

Shell companies running the platforms

Private “VIP rooms” with no cameras or records

Despite high-level involvement, no one has ever been held accountable.

🔎 WHAT HAPPENS NOW?

Legal experts and journalists are now urging the government to form a new task force with expanded powers — especially in light of Singson’s revelations.

Senator Raffy Tulfo has already expressed interest in reopening the investigation, saying:

“If Chavit has information, we will bring him to the Senate. We owe it to the families who have been waiting all these years.”

🕯️ FAMILIES STILL WAITING

Many families of the missing sabungeros remain in limbo — clinging to hope, but drained by years of silence.

One mother said in a recent interview:

“If Chavit really knows something, I beg him — please help us. We just want to know if our sons are alive.”

💭 IS THIS THE BEGINNING OF THE END?

Is Chavit Singson’s cryptic revelation a game-changer? Or will it be just another page in a growing file of unanswered questions?

One thing is certain: The spotlight is back on.

And this time, the public won’t look away
