Manila, Jan. 29 -- Police searching for Charlie "Atong" Ang have visited 18 locations in 20 days but have yet to locate the fugitive businessman.

Still, Interior Secretary Jonvic Remulla believes the "world is getting smaller" for Ang even if he has already fled to Cambodia as claimed by a government witness.

"But his world is getting smaller. Kung nasa Cambodia 'yan, may extradition tayo, makukuha natin siya (If he is in Cambodia, we can have him extradited)," he said in an interview at Camp Crame on Thursday.

He added that the Philippines' chairmanship of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) this year will make coordination with Cambodia and Thailand - where Ang is also believed to be hiding - easier.
