Interpol red notice issued vs Cassandra Ong
November 24, 2025
|The Philippine Star
The International Police Organization (Interpol) has issued a red notice against Cassandra Li Ong and Ronelyn Baterna.
-
Ong is the representative for Lucky South 99, a Philippine offshore gaming operator (POGO) that allegedly forced vulnerable victims into working as customer service representatives and kidnapped online players who failed to pay their debts. Baterna was the firm's corporate secretary.
Ong faces qualified human trafficking charges before the Angeles City Regional Trial Court. She is the alleged business associate of dismissed Bamban, Tarlac mayor Alice Guo who has been convicted of qualified human trafficking.
She was one of the key figures questioned and briefly detained during a Senate inquiry last year led by Sen. Risa Hontiveros into POGOs.
During the Senate's plenary deliberations on the Department of Justice's proposed 2026 budget, it was revealed that Ong had already been released from the Correctional Institution for Women, and was reportedly last tracked in Japan earlier this year.
