The Department of Justice (DOJ) has once again assured the public that the government will employ every available resource to track down and ultimately capture businessman Atong Ang. In a recent statement, Justice Secretary Fredderick Vida expressed the agency's confidence that the accused has not yet exited the Philippines, based on information currently held by authorities.
Intensified Operations and International Coordination
Secretary Vida emphasized that operations by various law enforcement agencies are not only ongoing but have been significantly intensified to ensure the swift apprehension of Ang. As an additional precautionary measure, the DOJ has already engaged with the diplomatic community and allied nations to guarantee stringent surveillance should Ang attempt to flee the country.
Background of the Case
Atong Ang is currently facing charges of kidnapping and serious illegal detention, which stem from the controversial case involving the disappearance of several cockfighters. He has a pending warrant of arrest, underscoring the urgency of the manhunt. The DOJ's proactive stance highlights the seriousness with which the government is treating this high-profile investigation.
The intensified efforts reflect a broader commitment to justice and public safety, as authorities work tirelessly to resolve this case and bring the accused to account for the alleged crimes.
