00:00In the newspapers, a mysterious bomb exploded in the Aklan River, killing several people.
00:12However, this is not a simple case of drowning.
00:17The river is believed to be guarded.
00:23This past month, the Aklan had a party.
00:30But they still have a band next to the river.
00:38But they don't play to have fun.
00:42They call this to their band that has been missing for several days after drowning in the river.
00:50But there are some who believe that the child was not just drowned, but someone took him.
01:07They have a king inside.
01:09They scream when someone is shouting.
01:11And the child doesn't know him, he's not from here.
01:15And the one who is swimming in the river is still filming?
01:20Do you see anything?
01:24This is the weekly news on the island of Panay.
01:33About the action.
01:37And the intense search for the missing child in the province of Aklan.
01:45Aklan, Panay
01:51This is 15-year-old Jhorus, the eldest son of Rosebell.
01:56On January 29, Jhorus said goodbye to his mother.
02:01The next day, we had a fight on the island, he said.
02:05I told them, where are you going?
02:08They just turned to me and smiled.
02:10At 2 p.m.,
02:12We received a text that someone was drowned in the area of Kulo.
02:23The story of Jhorus' classmate, Ken.
02:26Let's swim.
02:27They were able to swim in the river after they practiced.
02:34They were able to swim to the other side, which is 500 meters away.
02:39The light was calm.
02:45At the part of the river, we didn't swim because we know it's deep.
02:48Here, we went to the bottom.
02:51But the rain poured, so they decided to go back.
02:55We called it by two.
02:57Jhorus was already riding behind Ainz.
03:00Ainz was pulled.
03:04Jhorus pushed Ainz under the water,
03:07so Jhorus was on top.
03:15Ainz started to swim,
03:17but he went back to the other side.
03:20I don't know what happened.
03:21He went to the clear water.
03:23Adrian swam again, but he disappeared.
03:26We didn't see him.
03:27Our team immediately conducted a search and rescue operation.
03:30The only challenge was the deep water level
03:34at the site, which is around 15 to 19 feet.
03:39The 24-kilometer Aklan River
03:42is the longest river in the province of Aklan.
03:45Our Aklan River is one of the violent rivers here in Panay.
03:50Because of its width and size,
03:52it was difficult for them to determine where Jhorus went or hid.
03:59So everyone took action in the search.
04:01These are the groups of divers,
04:03the Region 6 Philippine Coast Guard.
04:07There are also parts of the river that were cut by a buffalo.
04:17The second day of the search and rescue operation
04:20was also the day of Jhorus' father.
04:31I'm scared.
04:32I don't know what to do.
04:34I'm scared.
04:37My family.
04:40It's my father's birthday.
04:45It's my father's birthday.
04:52I'm scared.
04:53I don't know what to do.
04:55I'm scared.
04:58Jesus Christ, King of Salvation.
05:01There are some residents who believe
05:03that Jhorus' body is still not found in the river
05:07because someone took it here.
05:14In the part of the river where Jhorus is said to have gone,
05:18there is only their body left.
05:22There's a siren in there.
05:25It's like there's a ghost.
05:27In fact, Jhorus was not the first victim.
05:31It was in the 1970s
05:33when the 14-year-old daughter of husband Luz and Jose
05:38was also mysteriously lost in the river.
05:41The boat was already full.
05:43But she insisted on riding the boat.
05:47It sank.
05:50They say there's a rock there
05:52where the water is circling.
05:55She fell.
05:57She was the only one who died there.
06:00What can be proven
06:02is that they do not believe the story of the river.
06:08Ivan's grandfather did not go there.
06:10They only met personally.
06:14He saw the siren sitting on the rock.
06:17He became friends with that siren.
06:20He even brought his grandfather to their kingdom
06:24under the river.
06:26When he went under the river,
06:28he opened the door and asked for a fish.
06:31He said it was good.
06:32Because of these stories,
06:34many albularyo came to the river
06:37to help in the search.
06:39Jhorus is down there.
06:41It's like he doesn't want to go out there.
06:43When the Ace of Flowers came out,
06:45his body was already far away.
06:47The psychic, Jey Kostura,
06:49wrote an article.
06:51It's possible to see the body there.
06:54When we searched, we didn't see anything.
06:56This Friday,
06:57after they explored the depths of the river,
07:01will they be able to find Jhorus?
07:07We noticed a body under the water.
07:10It has a strong current.
07:11It has a hole.
07:12It has a hole.
07:15There's also a video
07:17where they found the body.
07:22Take a good look.
07:25What is this?
07:26It looks like a woman with a long hair.
07:28It looks like they're watching the water.
07:31Meanwhile,
07:32there's another angle that the people are looking at.
07:36Maybe he was killed and buried.
07:38There's only one opinion.
07:39They let him drown
07:41and hid his body far away from the river.
07:43Because there's a play going on there.
07:46Okay, hit the bars, guys.
07:48No one will stop
07:49because we will force the answers
07:59to our return.
08:06A 15-year-old man,
08:08from Banga, in Aklan,
08:10has been missing for almost two weeks
08:12after he drowned in the Aklan River.
08:15His body was not found.
08:17That's why it was not found
08:18because someone took it from him.
08:21There's a siren there.
08:25Another video went viral.
08:28You can see that under the water,
08:31someone took a different image.
08:35It looks like a woman with a long hair.
08:39It looks like they're watching the water.
08:41I took the video
08:43and I saw an image that looks like a person.
08:46The video was taken by vlogger, James.
08:49I was really surprised.
08:50There are a lot of albolarios here.
08:53I saw that there's only one answer.
08:57It's either a body or a siren.
09:03But according to the residents
09:05who live near the river,
09:07even the divers who joined
09:09the search and rescue operation,
09:11it's just a rock that floats
09:14when the water is low.
09:16Volunteer divers and PDRRMO
09:19also joined the search and rescue operation.
09:21The area above,
09:22there's a mountainous side.
09:24That reflects the water.
09:27That's why when you combine all of that,
09:29you can see the shape of a siren.
09:33All of the things that can't be answered
09:36by what we see,
09:38we believe it's a mystery.
09:40We're looking for answers,
09:42but it's not visible to the senses.
09:44That's why we think it's supernatural.
09:48The victim really doesn't know how to swim.
09:51We stopped Jokas from joining us.
09:53He insisted on joining us.
09:55This Friday,
09:57the volunteer divers
09:59will continue their underwater search.
10:02Okay, 50 bars, guys.
10:11My estimate is just one meter.
10:14It's not deep.
10:16They said there are shrimps there.
10:18That's why the water flows there.
10:20There's only one direction.
10:22We cleaned the area,
10:23but we didn't see any body of Jokas.
10:26Probably, there are structures
10:28that are attached to him.
10:30His body is buried in the sand.
10:32If he didn't drown,
10:34he might have been flushed out of the sea.
10:36That's the Aklan River, ma'am.
10:38The water goes straight to Sibuyansin.
10:41Meanwhile, the people
10:43are also looking for a new angle
10:46in the disappearance of Jokas.
10:48Maybe he was killed,
10:49then buried.
10:50We killed him and hid him.
10:53Then we took him out and drowned him.
10:55We didn't do anything to him, ma'am.
10:57He's our friend,
10:59our classmate.
11:00We didn't kill Jokas.
11:03I didn't believe it.
11:04One of their colleagues,
11:06my son,
11:07he's like his cousin.
11:08Based on the investigation,
11:09we found out that
11:10there's no power flake.
11:12The speculations
11:13that appear on social media
11:15have no basis.
11:17It's just a reference
11:18to the posting of malicious content.
11:20There's nothing
11:21because there are individuals
11:23who are involved.
11:26The search for life
11:28continues for Rosebell and Joey.
11:31But as the days go by,
11:33they still can't find Jorus.
11:35Their quest
11:37is getting deeper and deeper.
11:48He went home.
11:54That's all we're praying for.
11:56That he'll come home to us.
11:59Even if I tell him
12:00that he's dead,
12:02we'll still accept him.
12:05That's all.
