Human body parts found in Bilibid septic tank

“Everything is sketchy and still in the exploratory stage. We’re still trying to find things out, trying to get to the bottom of everything,” Remulla stated, adding that they were considering tapping forensic anthropologists to examine the remains.The possible mass grave was accidentally found while BuCor and Philippine Coast Guard personnel were searching for Cataroja within the 10.87-hectare NBP compound from July 20 to 25.

When only his clothes were found hidden in the dormitory room’s ceiling, the PCG brought in its K-9 dogs that specialize in detecting cadavers. Bautista said the dogs pointed toward the direction of the septic tank, prompting them to call in the NBI. She added that some inmates had told them the tank was used long ago as a mass grave for murdered prisoners. According to Bautista, they were drafting a list with the names of prisoners who were missing or unaccounted for. Cataroja was the first to be reported missing since Catapang took over in October.

While Cataroja was reported missing on the morning of July 15, it was not the first time he disappeared. There were instances where he was found in other dormitories or in a sack hidden in the ceiling. The BuCor also asked the Philippine National Police to look for him at his last known address in Angono, Rizal province. His mother, however, did not cooperate with them and reportedly left their house.Subscribe to our daily newsletter
