PNP ready to arrest Atong Ang, others in missing cockfight enthusiasts case

The Philippine National Police (PNP) is prepared to arrest businessman Charlie "Atong" Ang and other individuals implicated in the disappearance of cockfight enthusiasts.

PNP acting chief Lt. Gen. Jose Melencio Nartatez Jr. stated that the police force is ready to implement arrest warrants once issued by the court.

This readiness follows the Department of Justice's announcement that a murder complaint filed against Ang, actress Gretchen Barretto, and others is nearing resolution.

State prosecutors are currently deliberating whether to dismiss the complaint or proceed with filing charges in court.

Nartatez has directed the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group and other police units to stand by for the lawful implementation of any warrants related to the case.
