SHOCKING CRIME IN THE PHILIPPINES: THE GRUESOME TRUTH ABOUT ATONG ANG AND GRETCHEN BARRETTO IN THE CASE OF THE MISSING COCKFIGHTERS

Manila, Philippines — One of the most disturbing and controversial cases in recent Philippine history is slowly unraveling: more than 30 men, known as “sabungeros” (cockfighters), have mysteriously disappeared over the past two years. But what has shocked the public even more is the emergence of two powerful names in the center of the storm: Atong Ang, a notorious gambling lord, and Gretchen Barretto, a controversial actress and socialite.

A Whistleblower Reveals Shocking Truths

A whistleblower known only as “Totoy” has come forward with terrifying claims: Atong Ang allegedly ordered the burning of cellphones that contained damning video and photo evidence of what happened to the missing sabungeros. According to Totoy, this was done before he was smuggled out of the country by Ang himself. Because of this, he no longer has the videos or images that could have proven the victims’ fate.

Totoy clarified that he did not witness the killings in person but saw everything through videos and photos forwarded to his cellphone.

“They were handcuffed. Then tied with wire around the neck. Slowly garroted until the tongue stuck out… and then they urinated involuntarily. Dead.”
— Totoy’s chilling testimony

He says these gruesome videos were shown to him by corrupt police officers as a form of intimidation — a cruel method of control and silence.

Whistleblower alias Totoy revealed that businessman Atong Ang allegedly ordered the burning of cellphones said to contain evidence related to the disappearance of the sabungeros (cockfighters). According to Totoy, this order was given before Ang allegedly helped him escape abroad. Because of this, he no longer possesses the photos and videos that could have proven what really happened to the missing sabungeros.

Totoy clarified that he was not present at the location where the killings took place and only saw them through videos and photos that were sent to his cellphone.

“They were handcuffed. Then their necks were tied with wire… Slowly, they were garroted until their tongues stuck out, and the person started to urinate. Then they died. I had all of that because the videos were forwarded to my phone. I even showed them to some police officers—videos showing exactly how they were slaughtered. That’s when I got the idea of how it was done.”

Human Remains Found in Taal Lake

The most terrifying turn in the case came when bones and human skulls were discovered in Taal Lake — suspected by many to be one of the dumping sites for the murdered sabungeros. DNA tests later confirmed matches with several of the missing victims, delivering heartbreak to their families and new demands for justice.

Distraught families wept upon hearing the DNA results, many hoping their loved ones were still alive. Now they ask for clear and honest answers from government authorities.

Why Are Atong Ang and Gretchen Barretto Being Accused?

Atong Ang and Gretchen Barretto have long been rumored to have deep ties to the e-sabong (online cockfighting) industry. Ang is believed to control several e-sabong franchises, while Gretchen, his longtime partner, is allegedly involved in managing money and information behind the scenes.

“Government officials and high-profile personalities are involved. There’s a cover-up,”
— said an anonymous NBI source.

Several reports also suggest that influential businessmen and former officials with control over the e-sabong operations may be part of a large-scale syndicate responsible for the abductions and murders.

What Are Authorities Doing?

The NBI and PNP are continuing their investigation. While some DNA matches have been confirmed, over 10 more skulls and bones remain unidentified. Authorities are urging families of missing sabungeros to submit DNA samples to help identify the remains.

However, there are growing fears that the case may be “buried” due to Atong Ang’s political influence and wealth, making justice increasingly difficult to attain.

Conclusion: This Is Not Just Disappearance — It’s Organized Crime

Behind the glitter of online gambling lies a network of organized crime, torture, and cover-ups. The people of the Philippines demand clear answers and justice for the lives that were taken. And if Atong Ang and Gretchen Barretto are indeed involved — they must be held accountable under the full force of the law.
