A previously unseen video showing gambling tycoon Atong Ang in a private meeting just days before several sabungeros went missing has emerged — and it may be the biggest breakthrough yet in the case that has gripped the nation for over two years.

The footage, now in the possession of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and the Philippine National Police (PNP), reportedly captures Atong Ang speaking with unidentified men in what appears to be a high-security, off-grid location, with conversations allegedly involving “transfers,” “non-cooperating players,” and “keeping things quiet.”

This development has triggered a massive dive operation in Taal Lake, where multiple sacks of human remains were recovered earlier — now believed to be linked directly to the men discussed in the video.

🎬 What’s in the Video?

According to sources from inside the investigation, the video was leaked by a former employee of one of Atong’s shell companies, who claimed to have recorded the meeting for “protection” in case things went wrong.

The footage reportedly shows:

Atong Ang seated at the head of a table with four unidentified individuals, faces partially obscured

A whiteboard with scribbled names and figures

Key phrases captured in the audio include:

“Ayusin natin ‘yan bago pa pumutok.”

“’Wag nang palakihin — tapusin na lang sa tahimik.”

“Kung hindi kumampi, ilayo muna. May paraan tayo.”

Experts reviewing the footage say the timing of the meeting — just 48 hours before the last known appearance of two missing sabungeros — is critical.

🛥️ PNP Launches Full-Scale Dive in Taal Lake

In response to the video, PNP Maritime Command and NBI forensic teams have resumed operations in Taal Lake with expanded dive zones, now targeting specific GPS coordinates identified from the video leak and earlier whistleblower accounts.

“We believe there’s more evidence underwater. Possibly even more remains,” said PNP Chief Benjamin Acorda Jr.

Specialized teams using sonar, underwater drones, and K9-assisted tracking from boats have already recovered two additional sealed sacks since the operation resumed — bringing the total to seven.

🦴 The Taal Lake Evidence So Far:

Human remains in at least five of the recovered sacks

Ropes, duct tape, and concrete weights

Personal effects including a sabungero’s ID, phone casing, and shoes

Early DNA matches now pending confirmation from the families

😱 Families React to the Video: “Ito na ang pruweba!”

For the families of the missing men, the emergence of the video has been both devastating and empowering.

“Sana noon pa lumabas ‘yan. Baka may nailigtas pa,” said the sister of one missing sabungero.
“Pero kahit huli na — basta may hustisya.”

⚖️ DOJ: “We Are Treating This as Major Evidence”

DOJ Secretary Boying Remulla confirmed that the video is now part of the official case file and could trigger multiple charges ranging from obstruction of justice to conspiracy to commit murder.

“We are moving from speculation to direct links,” he stated. “And this video brings us one step closer to the truth.”

🗣️ Atong Ang’s Camp: Silent So Far

As of writing, Atong Ang has not issued a public response to the leaked video. His legal team also declined to comment.

However, insiders say that he is “aware” of the video’s circulation and has begun limiting media appearances and public movements.

💥 Senate Calls for Emergency Session

Following the revelation, Senator Ronald “Bato” Dela Rosa has filed a motion for an emergency Senate hearing, calling on:

The DOJ

PNP

NBI

Atong Ang and associates

Witnesses including the kasambahay who previously testified

“This video could bring the entire truth crashing down. We need to act now — not next month, not next year,” Bato said.

📲 Netizens Erupt: “The Game Is Over, Atong”

Online reaction has been swift and unforgiving:

“This video is the receipt. No more denials.”

“Thank you to the whistleblower. You are a hero.”

“Kung walang kasalanan si Atong, bakit ganito ang sinasabi sa video?”
