-
Awaiting deadline 45% Interpol Red Notice Issued

This action triggers immediate international alerts, effectively barring him from traveling to any Interpol member state and pressuring his current location of refuge to hold or detain him for extradition review.

Facing mounting pressure from the Palace and potential asset freezes, Ang voluntarily turns himself in to Philippine authorities at a designated checkpoint or airport upon his return. His surrender allows the government to quickly take him into custody without international diplomatic friction, satisfying the Palace's call for accountability.

Awaiting deadline 15% Official Denial of Departure
The Palace retracts its earlier stance, with Secretary Remulla clarifying that Ang has not actually left the country and that previous reports were premature or erroneous. This narrative shift allows the government to avoid admitting a security lapse at the borders while continuing a domestic investigation, effectively downgrading the 'backdoor exit' claim.

Awaiting deadline 10% Diplomatic Immunity Shielding

This creates a stalemate where the Philippine government cannot legally compel his return, leaving the investigation in limbo and highlighting gaps in international legal cooperation.
