00:00You know that there is a farm in the place.

00:05The farm is farming.

00:08So, we can see everything that we can see.

00:11There are some animal remains.

00:14There are some human remains.

00:17We have mixed-mixed with our processing.

00:23We can differentiate whether it's animal origin or human origin.

00:27In terms of cross-matching,

00:29kumawa namin ng mga standards

00:31sa mga kins, sa mga kapamilya, sa mga missing sabongero.

00:34Pero, you know, for the details of this case,

00:39we are deferring to the spokesman

00:42or to the direction of the DOJ.

00:45The DOJ is the one leading and we are fully supporting

00:48and providing the technical support,

00:50especially on the processing of the remains

00:53that are recovered in Taal by our divers

00:58from the Philippine Coast Guard demand.

01:00So, this is a whole government approach

01:02and the DOJ has the lead.

01:03So, please direct your questions to Des OJ

01:06and his deputies or his authorized spokesman.

01:09Yes, sir.

01:10Pero, sir, can you just state lang po yung projection natin?

01:13Gaano katagal yung buong process na ma-crossmatch?

01:17Well, ang cross-matching ng mga remains

01:25to the possible kins na nagbibigyan ng mga standards

01:29is madali lang.

01:31Mabinisin naman yan.

01:32Pero, hindi natin mabigyan talaga ng oras

01:35dahil hindi ka natin alam ang mga complications

01:40na mag-aarays

01:42kasi this is a technical process,

01:44a very technical examination.

01:46So, I just would like to give a timeline for it.
