00:00A few days ago, a Banyaga was found dead in Boracay.
00:05He was found dead and missing when he was seen in an abandoned church.
00:10Here is my report.
00:16He was found missing in Boracay on Monday, March 10.
00:22The 23-year-old is Micaela Micova, a tourist from Slovakia.
00:28But yesterday, his body was found in an abandoned church in Zone 3, Sitio Pinaungon, Barangay Balapag in Boracay.
00:37It's an old church that was destroyed.
00:40You can't go there if you don't mean to.
00:44It is a place that the people of Boracay don't usually go to.
00:49The forensic investigation has yet to be concluded, so the cause of his death has yet to be determined.
00:55The victim was found with no other injuries.
00:58And according to the police, the victim was found with bruises on various parts of his body.
01:03He arrived in Boracay on his own on March 1.
01:07He was last seen on the island on the afternoon of March 10.
01:12He came here for the purpose of his friend's wedding.
01:16It was his first time in Boracay and he really enjoyed it.
01:21The police went to the hotel where the victim was staying and found all his belongings.
01:26It's possible that the victim was found in a chapel.
01:30It's possible that the victim met the suspects on the island who were the subject of a manhunt operation.
01:35We're looking at maybe two or more.
01:38Two or more. Is this the last person that the victim met?
01:42That's one of the persons of interest that we're considering.
01:49Are the suspects all foreigners or are there Filipinos?
01:52There are Filipinos and foreigners.
01:56We're looking for individuals who have a point of contact with the victim.
02:01I really cannot divulge because I believe that the perpetrator is still on this island.
02:09The police informed the family of the victim that they agreed to put the body under an autopsy.
02:16According to the Malay Municipal Tourism Office,
02:19more than 40,000 foreign tourists arrived in Boracay last month.
02:24They hope that this will not affect the tourism, especially since the heat has arrived.
02:29The incident is said to be an isolated case.
02:32I'm asking for help from our citizens, especially if you have important information that you learned, please inform the PNP.
