Atong Ang, Gretchen Barretto linked to missing sabungero abductions


Atong Ang & Gen. Estomo Allegedly Caught in Collusion — DonDon Patidongan’s Explosive Revelation May Finally Crack the Missing Sabungeros Mystery

In what may be the most explosive development yet in the case of the missing sabungeros, DonDon Patidongan, a former insider turned whistleblower, has come forward with a new set of shocking allegations: that businessman Atong Ang and police official Gen. Estomo were allegedly working together behind the scenes — and that this unholy alliance may be connected to the chilling disappearances of over 30 e-sabong players nationwide.

“Hindi ito simpleng pagkawala. May sabwatan sa likod nito. At hindi ako matatakot ilabas ang totoo,” DonDon said in a fiery interview streamed online.


🕵️‍♂️ The Alleged Plot: “It Was Never Just About Gambling”

DonDon Patidongan, who claims to have once worked as a runner for e-sabong syndicates, alleges that a secret understanding existed between certain gambling operators and members of law enforcement — a system of protection in exchange for silence and operational freedom.

“Lahat ng sabong site na ‘di hinuli, may basbas ‘yan. At kung may tumanggi o sumuway… nawawala,” DonDon said ominously.

He claims that some of the missing sabungeros may have uncovered discrepancies in payouts or digital transaction flows — and were silenced to protect bigger players.


👮‍♂️ Gen. Estomo Named in the Alleged Collusion

Perhaps most shocking is the inclusion of General Estomo, a key figure in the PNP and previously hailed as one of the leading officials in the investigation of the missing sabungeros.

DonDon accuses Estomo of “double playing” — appearing to lead the investigation in public, while allegedly shielding certain figures involved behind closed doors.

“Siya mismo ang nakakaalam ng galaw. Tanongin niyo kung bakit walang ni isa sa mga malalaking pangalan ang na-aresto hanggang ngayon,” Patidongan said.

So far, Gen. Estomo has not issued a detailed response to the new allegations, but sources inside Camp Crame say his legal team is preparing to file counter-charges for defamation.


💥 Atong Ang Denies Involvement — Again

When reached for comment, Atong Ang’s camp quickly denied any links to the missing sabungeros or any form of coordination with General Estomo.

“This is recycled gossip. Mr. Atong Ang has no connection to any criminal activities involving sabungeros,” said his lawyer.

But this denial isn’t enough to cool public outrage. For many Filipinos, the connection between power, gambling, and silence is starting to look all too real.


🕳️ Where Are the Missing Sabungeros?

The case, which began more than a year ago, involves dozens of men who vanished without a trace, some last seen on CCTV inside or outside e-sabong venues. Despite investigations, Senate hearings, and national attention, no major arrests have been made — and no bodies have been found.

“Ang masakit, parang kinalimutan na sila,” said one grieving father. “Walang katarungan. Walang katahimikan.”

Families are now demanding international assistance, with some filing appeals to human rights organizations for outside intervention.


📣 Public Erupts: “Expose Them All!”

Social media exploded after DonDon’s latest revelations:

“If DonDon disappears next, we’ll know this goes deeper than anyone dared to say.”
“Why is Atong Ang always mentioned but never touched?”
“General Estomo must answer these allegations under oath!”

Hashtags like #ExposeSabungeroTruth, #JusticeForTheMissing, and #Sabwatan2025 are now trending on X and Facebook.


⚖️ What’s Next?

Congress is reportedly planning to re-open the hearings following DonDon’s new statements. Meanwhile, watchdog groups are urging the DOJ to launch an independent, non-police-led investigation — citing potential conflicts of interest within the PNP ranks.

“How can you investigate a crime when the suspects are possibly within your own system?” one senator asked.


💔 Final Thoughts: How Many More Must Be Silenced?

With DonDon Patidongan’s new bombshell, the missing sabungeros case is once again front and center. But this time, it’s not just about who vanished.

It’s about who knew.
Who stayed silent.
And who profited while families begged for truth.


Because in this deadly game of money, power, and silence…
the ones who speak out may be the ones who vanish next.
