Where is Subic Shabu Drug Lord Anton Ang?
Three government agencies - the Presidential Anti-Smuggling Group, National Bureau of Investigation and the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency -- have joined forces to find Anthony “Anton” Ang.
But Ang, the man suspected to be behind the smuggling of the biggest shipment of shabu (methamphetamine hydrochloride) into the Subic Bay Freeport two weeks ago, has remained elusive.
The chase for Ang, known also by his Chinese name O.D. Hung, has not been fruitful despite the money trail or other means of locating him.
“He’s nowhere to be found,” Edmund Arugay, deputy director of the National Bureau of Investigation and director for operations of PASG, said in a telephone interview on Saturday.
Ang, one of the owners of the Hua Long International Inc., was last seen by the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority police on May 26.
On that day, he showed up to claim his Mitsubishi Outlander. However, he could not show proper documents for “sensitive computer parts” supposedly packed in boxes loaded in his car. The boxes, in turn, yielded packs of shabu.
He left in a huff that morning and has since disappeared. He and his family left their house in West Bajac Bajac in Olongapo City.
Arugay said the search for Ang took PASG, NBI and PDEA agents in Olongapo City, in Binondo, Manila, and just about anywhere where he could be hiding.
“We received information on the movement of P2 million from Binondo to Subic before we seized the shabu. Possibly it was an initial payment for the goods,” Arugay said, without revealing other details.
Ang and Hua Long’s 12 other incorporators have been placed on the Bureau of Immigration’s hold departure list, PASG chief Antonio Villar Jr. said.
There are no records indicating that Ang and other executives of the company had left the Philippines, Arugay said.
PASG, according to Villar, has received intelligence reports that Ang has been trying to get out of the country.
But he said Ang could still be in the Philippines.
Villar declined to reveal what syndicate is behind the shipment or who were giving Ang and his cohorts refuge at this time.
“We will get them in time,” Villar said, admitting this was going to be a tough case that needed the support of no less than President Macapagal-Arroyo. By Tonette Orejas - Philippine Daily Inquirer
