00:00Talakay na po natin ang inihahing reklamo ng kampo ng negosyanteng si Charlie Atong Ang

00:05laban kay Julie Dondon Patidongan na nagdawid kay Ang

00:09bilang isa sa mga mastermind umano sa pagkawala ng mga sabongero.

00:13Kausapin natin ng legal counsel ni Ang na si Atty. Lorna Capunan.

00:17Magandang umaga at welcome po sa Balitang Hali.

00:21Good morning sa iyo, Connie and Lassie at Balita.

00:25Opo, ano po yung basihan at ano yung buod ng inyong reklamo ng kliyente ninyo

00:28laban kay Julie Dondon Patidongan?

00:33Actually, dalawa ang finailan.

00:35Itong Julie Patidongan at isang Alan Bantiles na tinatawag na ano.

00:46So, lima ang kaso na finail namin.

00:50The first is attempted robbery with violence or intimidation against a person.

00:57Pangalawa, meron kaming finail na grave threat.

01:02The third case is grave coercion.

01:05The fourth case is murder or cyber libel.

01:09And the fifth case is incrimination against innocent persons.

01:13So, lima ang finail na complaint kaninang umaga.

01:16Eh, ano pong reaksyon niyo sa sinabi ni Patidongan na sa pagsasampa daw ng reklamo ni Ang laban sa kanya,

01:22eh parang kinasuanda rin daw niya yung kanyang sarili?

01:24Ah, hindi namin maintindihan what he means.

01:31Kasi yung sinasabi naman niya, wala namang kinalaman dyan.

01:36The group of atong Gretchen and others mentioned, they are an investor's group yan.

01:44Hindi sila operation.

01:45Ang talagang farm operator, ang mga operators dyan is somebody like a Dondon.

01:53Sila nga yung in charge ng operations on the ground.

01:57Dondon was the one who hired people.

02:00He was in charge of construction of buildings, etc., etc.

02:03At dyan siya yung maman, nalaman lang recently that he had his own separate operations, no?

02:10Separate from what his official duties are for the company, no?

02:15For the company.

02:20So, dyan siya yung maman.

02:22In fact, he amassed so much wealth.

02:24Natumakbo yan ng mayor ng isang town in Surigao.

02:29And doon siya naubusan ng pera.

02:33And that's why he started extorting.

02:36As of February, he already started calling the investors group, yung tinatawag na A-group,

02:44sila atong ang, etc., to extort money.

02:47In the case of atong ang, it was 300 million.

02:51And this is already part of the evidence of our witnesses.

02:57And mayroon pang recorded messages of Dondon himself and his co-appuse here, the respondent.

03:07The respondent.

03:09Si Brown ang pangalan niya, no?

03:11At naging medium for the extortion.

03:14Opo, attorney, sinabi po kasi na Dondon sa panayam ng GMA Integrated News

03:18na talagang siya walang kinalaman dito sa kaso ng pagkawalan ng mga sabongero.

03:22Pero sinasabi niyo ngayon na pwedeng baliktad.

03:24Siya ngayon ang prinsipal.

03:25Pusibling prinsipal.

03:28In fact, he's the prinsipal.

03:29He's the prinsipal because so directly, all the people,

03:33all the people mentioned, merong case sa RTC Manila,

03:38the people mentioned there who have disappeared

03:41na hindi malaman kung saan sila.

03:45These were people under him, no?

03:47So siya may direct control over operations in Batangas,

03:51in Laguna, and in Manila.

03:53Sa kanya yun, siya ang in-charge.

03:55He had direct control on supervision.

03:58Hindi pwedeng sabihin sila atong ang...

04:00They're just an investor's group.

04:03They're not part of the operations,

04:04the day-to-day operations.

04:07So if there is anybody directly responsible,

04:10it is him.

04:12Kanya lumabas na sila atong ang file

04:15because he wants to aid.

04:17Ngayon na in-investigate

04:19ng Secretary of Justice,

04:21no, de Mulya,

04:22and also the police authorities,

04:26and all the way to the Supreme Court.

04:28And the President himself said,

04:29we have to find out

04:31who the real perpetrators are,

04:33sino talaga ang involved dito.

04:35And that is why yun ang talagang intention

04:37ng isang atong ang

04:39to come out with the truth

04:41that they are not the ones involved,

04:43that it would seem.

04:45It would seem from the witnesses

04:47that we have

04:50that it is the whistleblower himself,

04:53si Don Don, no?

04:54And sa definition ng whistleblower,

04:58it should be the one

04:59who is least guilty.

05:01He is the most guilty here.

05:03And that is why

05:04baka magkamali na maniwala

05:07ang investigating agencies

05:10at ang DOJ.

05:11That's why

05:11ang statement ng Atong Ang

05:14is they will give full support

05:15and transparency

05:17on what they know.

05:19Attorney,

05:20kailan ba huling nakatrabaho po

05:22ni Mr. Ang

05:23itong si Patidongan?

05:24At paano ba naghiwalay

05:25ang kanilang landas bilang mag-amo

05:27dahil sabi nga eh,

05:2815 years siyang nagtrabaho

05:30di umano, no?

05:31Kaya Mr. Atong Ang.

05:34Well, because alam mo

05:35itong isabong,

05:37naging isabong yan,

05:39yung panahon ng pandemic.

05:42And so,

05:44after the pandemic,

05:45ginawang illegal

05:47ang isabong.

05:49And since there was

05:50no longer any isabong,

05:53wala nang operations

05:57on isabong

05:58ang isang atong ang.

06:00And that was

06:01by order of the pub core, no?

06:03Mm-hmm.

06:04And therefore,

06:05wala na silang

06:09involvement

06:09in the isabong

06:10and alleged

06:12mga disappearances.

06:14Okay.

06:15So,

06:16but they continued

06:17because

06:17they continued

06:19relations

06:20because

06:21especially nung

06:22tumakbo to ng mayor,

06:23humingi,

06:24sinulungan pa ni Mr. Atong Ang

06:26nagbigay pa ng

06:2712 million

06:28for his campaign fund.

06:30Because at that time,

06:31ah,

06:33hindi pa lumalabas na

06:34trusted pa rin yan nun eh.

06:37Naging security guard lang yan,

06:39naging driver,

06:40and then

06:40because nga masipag,

06:42masipag,

06:43nakita niyang masipag,

06:44e binigyan niya ng

06:45ah,

06:47supervision and control,

06:48yung mga farm operations,

06:50yung mga operations.

06:51All right.

06:52Until recently,

06:53no?

06:53Until February.

06:55February.

06:55When he started to call

06:58and he started

06:59extorting money.
