Congressmen Caught Sabong-ing! Watching online Cockfighting during PBBM’S SONA!

Manila, Philippines - While President Bongbong Marcos was seriously delivering his fourth State of the Nation Address (SONA), some congressmen were clearly preoccupied with other “matches” — cockfights and pool games!


One unidentified lawmaker was caught watching online cockfighting on his cellphone right in the middle of the President’s address. Instead of having his eyes on the teleprompter, this congressman had his eyes on the sabungan!


Not to be outdone, another was busted watching a billiards match on his smartphone. Couldn’t wait to hit the 9-ball, even while seated at a crucial national event?


Both “honorable” members were facing away from the camera, making it hard to identify them. But rumors are flying that they’re both party-list representatives — perhaps of the "Cockfight and Billiards Alliance"?


President Marcos’s SONA lasted one hour and ten minutes, but it seems some lawmakers had their own "programming." Things got even more intense during the speech when the President tackled corruption in flood control projects — which drew more applause than any signs of shame.


Netizens were furious:“Was the SONA that boring or are these officials just that disrespectful?”“Maybe they want a new party-list: Team Street Sports!”


As of now, Congress remains silent on what punishment awaits these multitasking lawmakers.


Stay tuned: Word is CCTV footage might come out soon! Will there be a slow-mo replay of the cockfight moment?
