• Totoy maintains the actress holds crucial information linking business tycoon Atong Ang and Gretchen Barretto to the disappearance
• Atong Ang’s camp has denied all allegations, labeling them baseless, and announced they will file a formal complaint affidavit against Totoy and another individual at the Mandaluyong City Prosecutor’s Office today, Thursday

Alias “Totoy,” the self‑proclaimed whistleblower at the center of a burgeoning scandal, has publicly called on an unnamed actress he alleges may hold crucial information about the disappearance of several sabungeros.

During a brief interview with local media, Totoy made a direct appeal, “Tulungan mo ako na maging ikaw ang second witness.”

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.

With both sides gearing up for legal action, all eyes remain on Mandaluyong, where today’s filings may mark a turning point in the high‑profile investigation.
