Did they really get tied to sandbags and thrown into a lake?
A man named “Totoy” says yes—and now, he’s ready to tell everything.
Back in 2021, several men who were involved in online sabong (cockfighting) suddenly disappeared without a trace. One of them was Ricardo “Jon-jon” Lasco, a master agent—someone who managed bets and made big money from cockfights online.
Now, years later, a shocking confession has come out.
💰 Over P2 Million to Take His Life?
In a report aired on GMA’s “24 Oras”, Totoy—one of the accused suspects—told journalist Emil Sumangil that Jon-jon was kidnapped because he was earning money from an unauthorized cockfight stream.
According to Totoy, someone paid over P2 million pesos to make Jon-jon disappear forever.
🪦 Tied to Sandbags, Thrown Into the Lake
Totoy said that Jon-jon was tied up with a sack full of sand—something heavy to make him sink—and then dumped into Taal Lake, a large lake in Batangas with a volcano in the middle. 😢
And it’s not just him.
Totoy says other missing sabungeros were kidnapped and killed the same way.
📱 The Video That Broke the Silence
Totoy even showed a cellphone video. It showed a man with two face masks—but Lasco’s family recognized him right away.
They said, “That’s him.” They believe it was Jon-jon in the video, taken on August 30, 2021, when he was abducted from his home in San Pablo, Laguna.
🕵️♂️ Who’s Behind It All?
Totoy says the most shocking part:
Policemen were the ones who took and killed him. 😳
This is now being investigated—but the danger is still real. Lasco’s family is asking the government to:
-
Protect the witnesses, like Totoy, who are speaking out
-
Search Taal Lake, where they believe the bodies were thrown
🚨 So What Happens Next?
Will authorities find the missing men? Will the ones behind this ever be caught?
Totoy’s confession could be the key to unlocking one of the most disturbing crime mysteries in recent years.
And the families left behind… are still hoping for justice.
