The PNP has intensified port and airport security nationwide to prevent Atong Ang’s departure amid the missing sabungeros investigation.


The Philippine National Police has intensified security measures at major ports and exit points nationwide to prevent businessman Atong Ang from leaving the country as authorities enforce a court-issued warrant connected to the missing sabungeros case.

According to police leadership, the move reflects the PNP’s commitment to strictly implement the warrant of arrest and ensure that legal processes are carried out without obstruction. Authorities reiterated their call for Ang to voluntarily surrender and cooperate with the ongoing investigation.

Law enforcement agencies have coordinated closely with port authorities, airport security, and other relevant units to heighten monitoring across seaports, airports, and other key exit locations. Alert levels have been raised to ensure immediate response should any attempt to leave the country be detected.

The missing sabungeros case, which involves the disappearance of several individuals linked to cockfighting activities, continues to draw widespread public attention. Investigators remain focused on identifying those responsible and securing accountability through lawful means.

The PNP assured the public that all necessary legal measures are being pursued to protect the integrity of the investigation and uphold justice, emphasizing that no individual is above the law.
