Wife of Emil Sumangil seeks protection after missing sabungeros exposé


Michelle Sumangil, wife of GMA News anchor and broadcast journalist Emil Sumangil, has asked for prayers and protection for her husband following his exposé on whistleblower Julie “Totoy” Patidongan — a key witness in the case of the missing sabungeros (cockfighting enthusiasts).
In a heartfelt Facebook post on Friday, 4 July, Michelle shared a “personal prayer request” amid growing concern over Emil’s safety.
“We would like to thank the netizens who first initiated and called for the safety and protection of my husband, Emil Sumangil. Your concern, prayers, and vigilance brought light and strength to us during this time,” she wrote.
She went on to express gratitude to the Lord for “constant protection and grace.”
“We lift up Emil into Your loving hands. Surround him with Your divine shield and keep him safe from harm. May Your peace reign in our hearts as we trust in Your perfect will. Amen.”
Michelle concluded her message by quoting a Bible verse:
