MANILA, Philippines — The employer of ill-fated flight attendant Christine Angelica Dacera, who was found unconscious in a hotel bathtub in Makati City on New Year’s Day, has called for authorities to ensure that the truth will come out with regards to her death.

The 23-year-old was later declared dead at the hospital, and it was the Makati Medical Center that informed the Makati City police of her death.

“Our desire is for the truth to come out in the interest of justice,” said the Philippine Airlines (PAL) Express in a statement on Tuesday. Dacera was working as flight attendant of PAL Express, the Philippine region brand of the flag carrier.
