Horse fighting has been illegal since the enactment of the Animal Welfare Act in 1998, however lack of enforcement, endemic police corruption and large scale gambling have allowed it to flourish. Please write to the Philippines ambassador in your country and ask him politely to encourage the Filipino government to enforce the law against horse fighting or risk losing tourism revenue.
