MANILA, Philippines — A regional trial court in San Pablo City, Laguna has issued a third arrest warrant against businessman Charlie “Atong” Ang in connection with the disappearance of dozens of cockfighting enthusiasts or sabungeros. In an order dated February 6, the San Pablo City Regional Trial Court Branch 29 ordered the arrest of Ang and five others for kidnapping and serious illegal detention. The offenses are non-bailable. Also named in the warrant were Ryan Jay Orapa, Alfredo Uy Andres, Philip Simborio Almendilla, Joey Natanauan Encarnacion, and Aaron Ezrah Lagahit Cabillan. The latest warrant adds to earlier arrest orders issued by other courts in Calabarzon. On January 13, the Sta. Cruz, Laguna RTC Branch 26 first ordered Ang’s arrest for the same case, followed by a warrant from the Lipa City RTC in Batangas on January 15. The charges stem from complaints filed by the families of missing sabungeros on August 1, 2025, over the disappearance of 34 cockfighting enthusiasts between 2021 and 2022. Ang has remained at large since the first warrants were issued.
