This would include agencies of government, Coast Guard, PPA, at saka 'yung [Criminal Investigation and Detection Group],” he said in an interview on Super Radyo dzBB.Investigators are on the ground and still reaching out to victims Dyan Gumanao and her partner Armand Dayoha for their statement, according to Pelare. However, the two have yet to respond, he added.
“As far as the [Philippine National Police] is concerned, we don’t have any grounds to arrest Dyan or Armand because we don’t have basis. 'Yung speculation na police that is very easy to speculate,” he said.Pelare said the police would file charges if they have enough evidence. He noted that the victims were taken then released which is "not a police procedure."
