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:

  1. Police Lieutenant Colonel Ryan Jay Orapa
  2. Rogelio Teodoso Borican Jr.
  3. Rodelo Anig-ig
  4. Jezrel Mahilum
  5. Mark Carlo Zabala
  6. Ronquillo Anding
  7. Police Senior Master Sergeant (PSMS) Joey Natanauan Encarnacion
  8. Police Executive Master Sergeant Aaron Ezrah Lagahit Cabillan
  9. Police Master Sergeant (PMSg) Michael Jaictin Claveria
  10. PSMS Mark Anthony Aguilo Manrique
  11. PSMS Anderson Orozco Abary
  12. Police Staff Sergeant (PSSG) Edmon Hernandez Muñoz
  13. PSMS Farvy Opalla Dela Cruz
  14. PSSG Alfredo Uy Andes
  15. Emman Cayunda Falle
  16. Julious Tagalog Gumolon
  17. 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

Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base

Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base

The post Kalshi debuts ecosystem hub with Solana and Base appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Kalshi, the US-regulated prediction market exchange, rolled out a new program on Wednesday called KalshiEco Hub. The initiative, developed in partnership with Solana and Coinbase-backed Base, is designed to attract builders, traders, and content creators to a growing ecosystem around prediction markets. By combining its regulatory footing with crypto-native infrastructure, Kalshi said it is aiming to become a bridge between traditional finance and onchain innovation. The hub offers grants, technical assistance, and marketing support to selected projects. Kalshi also announced that it will support native deposits of Solana’s SOL token and USDC stablecoin, making it easier for users already active in crypto to participate directly. Early collaborators include Kalshinomics, a dashboard for market analytics, and Verso, which is building professional-grade tools for market discovery and execution. Other partners, such as Caddy, are exploring ways to expand retail-facing trading experiences. Kalshi’s move to embrace blockchain partnerships comes at a time when prediction markets are drawing fresh attention for their ability to capture sentiment around elections, economic policy, and cultural events. Competitor Polymarket recently acquired QCEX — a derivatives exchange with a CFTC license — to pave its way back into US operations under regulatory compliance. At the same time, platforms like PredictIt continue to push for a clearer regulatory footing. The legal terrain remains complex, with some states issuing cease-and-desist orders over whether these event contracts count as gambling, not finance. This is a developing story.
