“Na-AWOL (absent without leave) sya [noong] 2014 and after that wala na tayong alam sa kanyang whereabouts. May nakita daw tayong ID doon pero hindi pa natin ma-confirm siya yung may hawak ng ID kasi pwede niyang ibigay sa ibang tao,” PNP chief Director General Ronaldo dela Rosa said on Monday.

“Hindi pa talaga tayo makapagsabi na siya yung nandun unless makuha natin siya sa crime scene, doon sa main battle area or kahit na yung kanyang dead body kung siya ay namatay, hindi natin mako-conclude na andun siya sa gyera,” Dela Rosa said. Frances Mangosing, INQUIRER.net
