The statement comes amid swirling accusations that business tycoon Atong Ang and actress Gretchen Barretto had a hand in the sabungeros’ vanishing—a claim both have categorically denied.

Totoy insists that the actress he addressed has been reluctant to share what she knows but could provide the second eyewitness testimony needed to establish a clearer picture of the events leading up to the incident.

n response, Ang’s camp has maintained that the allegations lack any factual basis.

Representatives for Ang released a statement reaffirming their confidence in the ongoing investigations and dismissed Totoy’s claims as unfounded.

They further revealed plans to file a formal complaint affidavit later today, Thursday, at the Mandaluyong City Prosecutor’s Office—not only against Totoy but also naming an additional individual believed to be involved in spreading the accusations.

As the case unfolds, families of the missing sabungeros continue to press for definitive answers and justice.
