In a spine-chilling confession, Gretchen reveals the name of the powerful figure who helped her and Atong Ang in the mysterious disappearance of the sabungeros — the nation is SHOCKED beyond belief!

Barretto Breaks Her Silence — Names Powerful Accomplice Behind Sabungero Disappearances: “This Goes All the Way to the Top”

In a revelation that has stunned the entire country, Gretchen Barretto has finally spoken out — and what she has revealed may change the course of the sabungero disappearance case forever.

After weeks of silence and evasion, the controversial actress-socialite has reportedly confessed to investigators the identity of the person who helped her and Atong Ang in the now-infamous case of the missing cockfighting enthusiasts — a case that has haunted the nation since early 2022.

And the name she dropped? Someone powerful. Someone unexpected. And someone still in office.

“We Had Help — And He Made It Happen”

According to exclusive sources close to the investigation, Gretchen Barretto identified a sitting government official as the one who “coordinated, protected, and covered up” multiple stages of the alleged operation involving the sabungeros’ abduction and disappearance.

In a tearful and tense closed-door session with NBI agents, Gretchen reportedly said:

“We were scared. We were told everything would be handled. He promised us nothing would touch us — that the police, the press, even the President wouldn’t get near.”

She then gave a name — a high-profile political figure, reportedly someone well-connected to both gambling operations and law enforcement.

While authorities have yet to publicly release the name, multiple insiders claim it is a prominent senator or high-ranking former cabinet member.

Why Is Gretchen Talking Now?

Many believe that Gretchen’s sudden confession is part of a legal strategy to seek immunity or a plea deal as pressure mounts and the walls begin to close in.

“She’s scared,” one DOJ official revealed. “The lake is being searched. Atong is speaking. Witnesses are surfacing. She knows the net is tightening — and she doesn’t want to be the last one standing alone.”

Her confession comes just days after news broke that Taal Lake is being investigated by dive teams, following allegations that it may be a burial ground for missing sabungeros.

Public Shock: “Name Him Now!”

Filipinos across the country are demanding the immediate release of the accomplice’s identity, with hashtags like #NameTheMastermind, #GretchenConfession, and #JusticeForSabungeros dominating social media.

“This is no longer just a celebrity scandal,” said one political commentator. “This is a full-blown state-linked crime. And the people deserve to know who was behind it.”

Many are also calling on President Bongbong Marcos to declassify the confession documents and publicly confirm the official’s involvement.

Atong Ang: “I Knew She Would Talk”

Meanwhile, sources close to Atong Ang say he was “not surprised” by Gretchen’s move.

“He knew she would fold,” one insider said. “She’s not built for this kind of pressure. And once she started talking, it was only a matter of time before she gave up everyone.”

There are now rumors that Atong himself is preparing a counter-statement, possibly to challenge or confirm Gretchen’s claim, or reveal even more names involved.

President Marcos: “No Sacred Cows”

Reacting to the confession, President Marcos reportedly called an emergency national security meeting, and issued a powerful statement:

“If what she says is true — that a government official protected a criminal operation — then that person will face the full wrath of justice. There will be no sacred cows.”

He also ordered the DOJ, NBI, and CIDG to verify Gretchen’s testimony and secure all related communications, recordings, and financial transactions.

What Comes Next?

If Gretchen’s confession holds up under legal scrutiny, it could trigger a political earthquake — with resignations, arrests, and potential impeachment proceedings.

Legal experts say that if a public official is proven to have conspired in a cover-up of multiple disappearances, they could face life imprisonment or worse.

“This could be the biggest political scandal in years,” said one constitutional lawyer. “And it’s just beginning
