PNP denied the allegations that they are planting evidences underground based on the report. According to the national police, they do not disclose all the operations done in line with the search to avoid jeopardizing their plans.
“May scanner o wala, wala kaming ipapasok na gamit to plan an evidence… Hindi lahat ng mga tactical and operations or strategies namin ay pwede ihayag sa publiko o sa members ng KOJC,” Police Major Catherine Dela Rey said.
