The Baguio City Police Office is now investigating the incident and I trust that our policemen will leave no stone unturned to shed light on the circumstances surrounding the victim’s death and identify and arrest whoever was or were responsible for it.
Until the investigation is over, I am appealing to the public to refrain from making any conclusion that may trigger unnecessary fear.
I believe that this is an isolated incident as there had been no similar cases reported of late. We also assure the public that all the reports of missing persons in the past months and even in the previous years were not kidnapping or rape incidents. All of these missing persons had been located and had returned home safe and sound as attested by our city police.
Nonetheless, we advise people to continue to be vigilant and mindful of their and their loved ones’ safety. Please immediately report any suspicious-looking activity, person or place to the nearest police station.
To those who have knowledge of this unfortunate incident at A. Tabora, we appeal to you to come forward and cooperate with the investigators for the immediate resolution of the case.
Thank you.
