00:00The government is hot on the trail of Charlie Atong Ang, the alleged mastermind behind a string of missing Sabongeros,
00:06as he continues to lay low from authorities.
00:09Consider the country's number one most wanted, officials warn he is armed and dangerous,
00:15and they are leaving no stone unturned to bring him to justice.
00:19Ryan Nesigas tells us more.
00:23Because of the continued hiding of the alleged mastermind in the missing Sabongeros case,
00:27Charlie Atong Ang is now considered by the Department of the Interior and Local Government or DILG
00:32as the number one most wanted person in the Philippines.
00:35He is accused of killing about, over and about, maybe about 100, over 100 missing Sabongeros.
00:44According to DILG Secretary John Vick Rimulya, authorities are continuously raiding his properties to serve the warrant of arrest.
00:51Among the properties already searched by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group or CIDG,
00:57are his houses in Pasig, Mandaluyong, Batangas and Laguna.
01:01There are properties, ma'am, na minamonitor namin.
01:05Some are under his name, some are not.
01:08Actually, mahabang po kasi ang panahon na paghahanda ni Mr. Atong Ang.
01:13That's why there are certain properties na nakagamit siya po ng dami.
01:19But we're continually monitoring.
01:22The DILG also considers him armed and dangerous.
01:26As a result, the PNP has ordered the cancellation of the licenses of his six firearms.
01:32Kahit sabihin na nakancel ang kanyang firearms,
01:34si Atong po ay bumibiyahe ng hindi kumukulang ng dalawang po ang bodyguard lagi.
01:42Sinay po yan sa marahas na pagharap sa mga otoridad.
01:47Sinay po yan sa marahas na paraan para masolusyonan ang kanyang mga problema.
01:51The government is determined to arrest Ang at the earliest possible time.
01:56In fact, the DILG has offered a 10 million peso reward for anyone
02:00who can provide information leading to his arrest.
02:03Yung 10 million na yan ay sapat na para sa akin na may hirapan siya magusto
02:10na bilihin ang kanyang kalayaan.
02:12The Bureau of Immigration or VI confirmed that Ang remains in the Philippines.
02:16Ang will also have nowhere to hide if he was already left the country
02:20as his name will be included in the list of fugitives under an Interpol Red Notice.
02:25Sa pagchecheck po namin, wala naman po siyang recent na departure sa aming record.
02:32So, dapat nandito po siya.
02:34Ang is facing charges of kidnapping with homicide and serious illegal detention
02:39in connection with the disappearance of around 34 sabongeros from 2021 to 2022.
