Charlie Tiu Hay Sy Ang (born August 29, 1957), commonly referred to as Atong Ang, is a Filipino fugitive, businessman, gambling magnate known for his involvement in the jueteng and cockfighting industries. He gained national attention in 2000 when he became a co-accused in the impeachment trial of President Joseph Estrada, and was issued an arrest warrant in April 2001 for plunder. Although he had fled from the Philippines during EDSA II, he was arrested by the FBI in the United States on November 25, 2001 upon an extradition request by the Philippine government, being detained for five years before his extradition to the Philippines in November 2006. After pleading guilty of indirect bribery in 2007, Ang served two years in prison before being released in May 2009.
In 2025, Ang was accused by a former security aide of perpetrating the disappearance of more than 100 cockfighting enthusiasts from 2021 to 2022, although he has denied the allegations. As of 2026, he is wanted on charges of kidnapping and homicide over the disappearances following the issuance of an arrest warrant against him.
