00:00 Meanwhile, the bone found in the septic tank and thought to be from the missing prisoner in Bilibid
00:06 turned out to be the bone of a chicken.
00:08 And that is based on the investigation of the NBI.
00:10 The question now is, where is the missing inmate?
00:14 Witness, Sandra Ginaldo.
00:16 The three senators from the Senate Committee on Justice and Human Rights visited New Bilibid Prison
00:26 where an investigation is underway on the mass grave inside the NBP
00:30 and the number of people found in the septic tank.
00:34 Committee Chairman Senator Francis Tolentino visited the septic tank of the NBP
00:38 along with Senator Bato de la Rosa, former Bureau of Corrections Chief,
00:42 and Senator Robin Padilla, who was also imprisoned in the NBP.
00:46 They also visited the septic tank that has not yet been checked by the NBP
00:50 and now has a basketball court above it.
00:53 A K9 unit of the Philippine Coast Guard used to investigate the alleged murder of Michael Cataroja,
00:59 the PDL or person deprived of liberty, who was previously found dead and found in a septic tank in the NBP.
01:07 The dog was tired.
01:09 He was just disoriented. He was tired.
01:14 He was just wandering around. Maybe he was just looking for someone.
01:16 A piece of bone was found in the septic tank that was pointed at the dog after Cataroja's clothes were smelled.
01:24 But in the investigation of the NBI, it was not a human bone but...
01:29 It is consistent with chicken leg bone.
01:34 We conducted the process of forensic identification and we concluded that it is not of human origin, Your Honor.
01:43 But we are still waiting for the validation of the UP Forensics.
01:47 There is a septic tank because the basketball court is big.
01:50 The senators asked, "Where is Cataroja?"
01:53 The Bureau of Corrections answered, "They are still investigating if he escaped."
01:58 His family also learned about it.
02:00 My dog escaped.
02:03 They say that he was hiding because we were wondering why the dog,
02:09 when we went to his house, he didn't react.
02:17 He didn't seem to be in a hurry or hesitating.
02:23 But Dela Rosa's theory is different.
02:26 We didn't believe that he was free.
02:29 I am sure that he was just inside.
02:31 If you can see his remains, that's where he was transferred.
02:35 The committee also called the commanders and mayors of different authorities in the Philippines.
02:40 But they said that they have no knowledge about the PDL.
02:43 Something that Padilla didn't believe immediately.
02:46 At that time, it was really close.
02:53 You can say that you are letting your people go.
02:56 Mayor, how can the authorities get it?
02:58 I think it's still in the truck.
03:02 It's a film.
03:05 It's a trash.
03:06 It's a film of Sylvester Estalón.
03:08 Aside from the disappearance of a PDL,
03:10 the other problem in the area was also mentioned in the Senate hearing.
03:15 Including the corruption between some PDLs and some authorities.
03:20 Yesterday, there was a disturbance inside that a PDL killed someone.
03:25 The system that allows PDLs to send money to their relatives is also being implemented.
03:32 Through a virtual wallet.
03:34 It is being used by the former PDL, Molly Avihar.
03:38 She earns 3% from transactions.
03:41 She said that the total transaction is up to Php300,000 per day.
03:47 But the prison officials are not involved in this.
03:50 Dela Rosa continued to say that there is a lot of money flowing inside the NBP.
03:55 The NBP is also surprised.
03:57 This system also went through a bidding that is helping the welfare of the prisoners.
04:03 For GMA Integrated News, Sandra Aguinaldo is your witness.
