That’s Kernel Malinao. He was the CID region 4 chief when I was interrogated—he took everything: my cell phone, tablet, passport, and the 1.2 million VND I had. He’s deeply connected: he was a member of Alpha. Sanilago was also in Alpha. That congressman is almost always illegally involved—those deals range from 90 to 100 million, depending on the share.

After Patidongan exposed corrupt cops publicly—especially ex-CIDG Calabarson chief Hasinto Malinao, who allegedly received large sums from Atong-ang in exchange for his silence and for covering up for sabungeros—Colonel got even more nervous because Alyas Totoy wouldn’t back down.

He was repeatedly confronted, harassed, and coerced until his involvement in the mysterious disappearances of sabungeros was finally revealed—an explosive revelation that shook the police ranks and slowly broke the silence of those hiding their crimes. But before we begin, please like this video—it really helps content creators like me.

As we dug through social media, one after another, residents’ posts appeared online—comments screaming with anger, disgust, and disappointment at corrupt cops who, instead of protecting the public, became instruments of evil. Many netizens are saying these aren’t law enforcers—they’re exemplars of the devil.

Uniformed men filled with lies, greed, and cruelty. One of the most often mentioned names in the posts is Colonel Hasinto Malinao, the former CIDG Calabarson chief. According to Julie Patidongan, a former staffer of Atong-ang, Colonel Malinao even raided Patidongan’s hideout.

And not just a raid—this was a personal attack. No second thoughts, no regard for due process. They entered Patidongan’s compound and took everything—especially his numerous cell phones. Colonel personally ensured they got everything, perhaps fearing the devices held evidence that could bring down their names.

But that wasn’t all. According to Alyas Totoy, Malinao also confiscated Patidongan’s passport—a clear indication they wanted to isolate him, trap him in the cycle, and prevent any attempt to share information abroad. This wasn’t just a cover-up—it was a tactical deprivation of a whistleblower’s rights.

And here’s the most shocking part: Colonel wasn’t content. He also seized Patidongan’s money—reportedly between one to two million pesos—appropriate to say, he pocketed it. They left him just ₱20,000 so his family could have something for hotels and expenses, according to Julie.

Think about that—this wasn’t just abuse of power. It was blatant theft, possibly personal revenge, and a clear attempt to silence someone who possessed proof of the disappearance of sabungeros. So it’s no wonder public outrage on social media is overflowing—because these are not trivial complaints.

It’s a cry for justice. A call to hold accountable those who wield law as a shield while trampling on its honor. Colonel Malinao, netizens say, represents the type of official who must be removed and punished if found guilty.

Because rather than protecting the people, they have sold their power for money. And what’s worse: while Patidongan remains fearful for his life, some corrupt officials under Atong Ang appear brazenly confident, as if nothing can touch them.

But the public asks: how long will this last? How long will people like Malinao and Estomo hide behind rank and connections? How long will those at the top remain blind and silent while eroding public trust?

As the list of those implicated in the sabungero disappearances grows, a new revelation has emerged. The man afraid of nothing has spoken. He publicly named new names and personalities you would never suspect involved in this shady operation.

According to the witness, it wasn’t just police officers and CIDG officials obeying Charlie’s orders—people in higher positions were involved too.

Those with political power, further deepening the rotting roots of crime. One of the names directly cited by Julie Patidongan is Congressman Sony Lagon, who allegedly agreed to eliminate sabungeros who exposed fraud in Atong Ang’s operations—sabungreros who not only cheated but also threatened the millions in profits from the business.

Congressman Sony Lagon—a name for which controversy would not immediately spring to mind—a businessman, legislator, and representative of Ako Bisaya Party-list in Congress. In front of cameras, he is known as a defender of ordinary Filipinos—charismatic with a spotless image, said to be a leading voice in uplifting provincial livelihoods, especially in neglected areas.

Beyond his lawmaker status, Congressman Lagon is also a known figure in sabong circles—a prominent member of Pet Masters, a group of high-profile gamefowl enthusiasts holding substantial influence in the country’s cockfighting industry. In May, he was even crowned Solopet Master Cup Champion at a grand sabong event held at Manila Arena.

At that event, his support and influence within the sabungero community were on full display. He appeared not just as a politician but as a pillar of an industry recognized as cultural yet often mired in legal controversy. His connection to sabong is not merely professional. It is part of his advocacy as an Ako Bisaya Party-list rep.

According to our research, the party-list aims to help Filipinos by promoting local industries—including sabong. In interviews found online, Lagon proudly endorsed sabong as a legitimate business.

A profitable livelihood for thousands of sabungeros, breeders, handlers, and industry workers. But behind his advocacy, his name is beginning to be tainted after being implicated by Julie Patidongan in the scandal of missing sabungeros. And now the deeper reasons for his involvement in an industry swallowed by violence, poisoned by deceit, and controlled by dirty politics are creeping to the surface.

In Alias Totoy’s in-depth exposé on Lagon, a startling detail emerged: Congressman Sony Lagon is reportedly a member of the powerful Alpha group—and allegedly earns millions per month. According to the whistleblower, Lagon earns between ₱60 million to ₱100 million monthly from sabong operations, whether live or online.

This sum depends on the size of the share or percentage they get from each event. Over a year, this could reach billions in profits—all handled through a system lacking transparency and accountability. But money isn’t the only role Lagon plays.

According to Julie Patidongan, he is also among those who agreed to eliminate sabungeros who became obstacles to their operations—people who spoke against cheating. Those who elevated money into gods, ready to harass, threaten, and kill—all to protect their earnings extracted from the devil’s power.

If Patidongan’s statements are true, it’s clear this is not a simple business of a politician—it’s strong evidence of systematic abuse of power, where position, money, and influence are used to silence any voice against their empire. If proven legitimate, the accusations against Congressman Sony Lagon for ordering the elimination of sabungeros who allegedly cheated cannot be overshadowed by his millions. Because true justice should be blind—regardless of how rich or influential the accused is. Unless someone more powerful sits above, ready to take money under the table in exchange for silence and erasure of truth.

You—what do you say about the involvement of Congressman Sony Lagon and Colonel Malinao in the missing sabungeros case? Is it true they’re involved in this scandal, or is this just a made-up story to cover bigger names behind it all?
