MANILA, Philippines — A Regional Trial Court (RTC) in Lipa City, Batangas has ordered the arrest of 21 individuals, including Charlie “Atong” Ang, who now faces his second warrant in connection with kidnapping with homicide cases linked to the disappearance of several sabungeros, a crime classified as non-bailable under Philippine law. In an order dated Jan. 15, 2026, Presiding Judge Pamela Torres Chavez-Izon of RTC Branch 13 directed law enforcement authorities to arrest the accused, who are charged under Criminal Case 12-1402-2025 to 12-1407-2025.
