Whistleblower Julie “Dondon” Patidongan said the children of Charlie “Atong” Ang are aware of his whereabouts, adding that he has a network assisting him in evading arrest.
“First, if he is not here in the Philippines, in one of the properties he bought, similar to the one where I hid before, wherein he used other people to live there, maybe that is what he will do,” Patidongan said in Filipino during an interview with Bilyonaryo News Channel.
“Second, if he is not here, he is already in another country… Mr. Atong Ang is not an ordinary person,” he added.
The whistleblower said that even the fugitive businessman’s lawyers are unaware of his whereabouts, noting that Ang utilizes confidential numbers in “this kind of situation.”
Ang’s lawyer, Gabriel Villareal, however, said Patidongan’s claim is merely speculation. He earlier said that surrendering would be premature as motions challenging the case are still pending in court.
Ang is facing an arrest warrant for kidnapping with homicide in connection with the missing “sabungeros” (cockfighting enthusiasts) case. A P10-million reward has already been put up for information leading to his arrest.
