A whistleblower claimed that businessman Charlie “Atong” Ang was paying some policemen up to P2 million monthly.
In Emil Sumangil’s exclusive report on “24 Oras” on Friday, Julie “Dondon” Patidongan alleged that the go signal to abduct and kill the missing cockfight enthusiasts came from the businessman.
Patidongan, who was former security chief in some of Ang’s cockfight arenas, said that he was the one relaying the orders from Ang to the uniformed personnel.
He recently turned over to the authorities the copies of petty cash vouchers for the cops. The highest amount allegedly paid was over P2.6 million to a police unit that allegedly did the job.
“Intel lang kasi nakalagay doon. Kapag sinabing intel, yun na yung P500,000, yun na yung bayad sa mga pinatay nila. Yung overall naman na kinukuha ng isang colonel, ang monthly niya ay P2 million,” said Patidongan.
Patidongan vowed he would keep his statements until the trial.
GMA Integrated News is trying to reach out to Ang and the Philippine National Police for comments regarding his new allegations.
Patidongan earlier said Ang and three others were behind the abductions from 2021 to 2022. He said more than 100 were killed after being taken away.
He also said that actress Gretchen Barretto knew about the kidnappings.
But Ang and Barreto have already denied the allegations.
