According to Fajardo, the CIDG investigation revealed that the venues where the missing victims participated in cockfighting activities are administered by WPC, which she claims is linked to Ang. Ang is claimed to be willing to cooperate, and several of the well-known gaming tycoon’s employees have already submitted police statements.
She said that some of Ang’s guys, including his security officers, had already given the investigators their statements. The PNP has yet to determine if the missing sabungeros are alive or dead.
The PNP previously said that it had identified several individuals of interest in connection with the disappearance of cockfighting fans from various places. Some of the missing were last spotted in Laguna and Manila cockpits.
The number of reported missing cockfight aficionados has now risen to 29, according to CIDG public information office chief Police Lieutenant Colonel Ramon Sawan.
