In a report aired by GMA News 24 Oras, Totoy alleged that both Ang and Barretto are the "masterminds" responsible for the mysterious case that has baffled authorities and distressed the families of the missing men.

This marks the first time Gretchen Barretto’s name has been directly linked to the controversy, as previous reports primarily mentioned Ang.

Following Totoy’s televised claims, he announced he would be filing a complaint affidavit against Totoy on Thursday, signaling legal action in response to the serious accusations.

The case of the missing sabungeros has sparked national concern since early 2022, with at least 30 individuals vanishing under suspicious circumstances related to online cockfighting operations.

The public appearance of Totoy and his direct accusations have intensified calls for a thorough investigation.

However, as of now, no formal charges have been filed against either Ang or Barretto in connection with the disappearances.

Authorities have yet to issue an official statement in response to Totoy’s claims, but pressure is mounting as the families of the victims continue to demand justice and answers.

Investigations are ongoing as new allegations surface.

News, photos or videos that arouse the interest of netizens would often go viral on social media, due to the attention netizens give them. These viral posts appeal to the emotions of netizens, and in rare cases, such could also happen to ordinary people, making them very relatable.

In other news, a 61-year-old woman died after being run over three times by two SUVs and a sedan at Illinois Street and Aurora Boulevard in Barangay Silangan, Quezon City, on May 17. The victim was initially struck by an SUV, then hit again by a second SUV and a sedan moments later, GMA News showed. QCPD is reviewing CCTV footage and has urged the involved drivers to cooperate with the investigation. The incident has raised public concern over road safety and calls for stricter traffic enforcement in the area.

Still in other news, a 16-year-old girl in Antipolo accused a tricycle driver of forcibly taking her to a hotel instead of bringing her home after work around 3 a.m. The victim said the driver ignored her pleas and sped up when she asked to be let off, "binilisan pa niya lalo 'yung takbo ng tricycle niya, natatakot na po ako nun." At the hotel, CCTV showed the driver holding her arm, and the girl said: *"hihingi po sana ako ng tulong kaso natatakot po ako sa kanya." The hotel cashier refused to let them check in after suspecting something was wrong, prompting the girl to threaten to report the driver, who then fled the scene, according to ABS-CBN.
