Okubo stated on Tuesday that there was an immediate arrest inside the clinic and confiscation of these medications. According to the report, they observed that the clinic was large on the inside and that there were traces of blood.
“There was an immediate arrest inside the clinic and confiscation of these medicines. Doon natin nakita na napakalaki sa loob pala,” he also said. “Until now, they are accounting these medicines,” he said.
“And meron din palang clinic sa loob for abortion purposes. So may mga traces pa ng blood na naiwan doon. We are completing the investigation as of this time,” Okubo added.
