No bail: Atong Ang ordered arrested over missing sabungeros case
MANILA, Philippines – A Laguna court has ordered the arrest of gaming tycoon Charlie “Atong” Ang and several others over the missing sabungeros case through a warrant of arrest made public on Wednesday, January 14.
Santa Cruz, Laguna Regional Trial Court Branch 26 ordered no bail against Ang over kidnapping with homicide case. This means that the gaming tycoon and fellow accused will not have the option to avail of temporary liberty.
In December, Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutors filed two kidnapping cases against Ang and 24 others in relation the missing sabungeros case.
The DOJ said it found prima facie evidence with reasonable certainty of conviction to indict or charge Ang and others with 10 counts of kidnapping with homicide, and another case for kidnapping with serious illegal detention.
The court also ordered the arrest of the following:
- Police Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Jay Orapa
- Rogelio Teodoso Borican Jr.
- Rodelo Anig-ig
- Jezrel Mahilum
- Mark Carlo Zabala
- Ronquillo Anding
- Police Senior Master Sergeant (PSMS) Joey Natanauan Encarnacion
- Police Executive Master Sergeant Aaron Ezrah Lagahit Cabillan
- Police Master Sergeant (PMSg) Michael Jaictin Claveria
- PSMS Mark Anthony Aguilo Manrique
- PSMS Anderson Orozco Abary
- Police Staff Sergeant (PSSG) Edmon Hernandez Muñoz
- PSMS Farvy Opalla Dela Cruz
- PSSG Alfredo Uy Andes
- Emman Cayunda Falle
- Julious Tagalog Gumolon
- PMSg Renan Lagrosa Fulgencio
Ang was first implicated in the missing sabungeros case in 2022 because he owns the Lucky 8 Star Quest, the operator of cockfighting arenas where some of the missing sabungeros were last seen.
Three years later, in 2025, he was put in hot water anew after his former employee, accused-whistleblower Julie “Dondon” Patidongan, tagged him as the alleged mastermind in the disappearances. Government data stated that at least 34 sabungeros had gone missing from April 2021 to January 2022, but Patidongan said this number could reach over a hundred.
In August, relatives of the missing sabungeros filed multiple complaints against Ang and others tagged in the case. – Rappler.com

Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment?
The post Is Doge Losing Steam As Traders Choose Pepeto For The Best Crypto Investment? appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 17:39 Is dogecoin really fading? As traders hunt the best crypto to buy now and weigh 2025 picks, Dogecoin (DOGE) still owns the meme coin spotlight, yet upside looks capped, today’s Dogecoin price prediction says as much. Attention is shifting to projects that blend culture with real on-chain tools. Buyers searching “best crypto to buy now” want shipped products, audits, and transparent tokenomics. That frames the true matchup: dogecoin vs. Pepeto. Enter Pepeto (PEPETO), an Ethereum-based memecoin with working rails: PepetoSwap, a zero-fee DEX, plus Pepeto Bridge for smooth cross-chain moves. By fusing story with tools people can use now, and speaking directly to crypto presale 2025 demand, Pepeto puts utility, clarity, and distribution in front. In a market where legacy meme coin leaders risk drifting on sentiment, Pepeto’s execution gives it a real seat in the “best crypto to buy now” debate. First, a quick look at why dogecoin may be losing altitude. Dogecoin Price Prediction: Is Doge Really Fading? Remember when dogecoin made crypto feel simple? In 2013, DOGE turned a meme into money and a loose forum into a movement. A decade on, the nonstop momentum has cooled; the backdrop is different, and the market is far more selective. With DOGE circling ~$0.268, the tape reads bearish-to-neutral for the next few weeks: hold the $0.26 shelf on daily closes and expect choppy range-trading toward $0.29–$0.30 where rallies keep stalling; lose $0.26 decisively and momentum often bleeds into $0.245 with risk of a deeper probe toward $0.22–$0.21; reclaim $0.30 on a clean daily close and the downside bias is likely neutralized, opening room for a squeeze into the low-$0.30s.

Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For
The post Fed Decides On Interest Rates Today—Here’s What To Watch For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday will conclude a two-day policymaking meeting and release a decision on whether to lower interest rates—following months of pressure and criticism from President Donald Trump—and potentially signal whether additional cuts are on the way. President Donald Trump has urged the central bank to “CUT INTEREST RATES, NOW, AND BIGGER” than they might plan to. Getty Images Key Facts The central bank is poised to cut interest rates by at least a quarter-point, down from the 4.25% to 4.5% range where they have been held since December to between 4% and 4.25%, as Wall Street has placed 100% odds of a rate cut, according to CME’s FedWatch, with higher odds (94%) on a quarter-point cut than a half-point (6%) reduction. Fed governors Christopher Waller and Michelle Bowman, both Trump appointees, voted in July for a quarter-point reduction to rates, and they may dissent again in favor of a large cut alongside Stephen Miran, Trump’s Council of Economic Advisers’ chair, who was sworn in at the meeting’s start on Tuesday. It’s unclear whether other policymakers, including Kansas City Fed President Jeffrey Schmid and St. Louis Fed President Alberto Musalem, will favor larger cuts or opt for no reduction. Fed Chair Jerome Powell said in his Jackson Hole, Wyoming, address last month the central bank would likely consider a looser monetary policy, noting the “shifting balance of risks” on the U.S. economy “may warrant adjusting our policy stance.” David Mericle, an economist for Goldman Sachs, wrote in a note the “key question” for the Fed’s meeting is whether policymakers signal “this is likely the first in a series of consecutive cuts” as the central bank is anticipated to “acknowledge the softening in the labor market,” though they may not “nod to an October cut.” Mericle said he…
