00:00The body of the man, whose hands and feet are covered, and has enough bullets, was recovered in Batangas.
00:07The victim was possibly forced to work hard before he was killed, according to the authorities.
00:11Vel Custodio in the center of the news.
00:15The man was found dead in a remote area in Barangay San Bartolomé, Santo Tomas, Batangas.
00:22He had enough bullets in his head, his hands and feet were covered, and his face was covered with a towel
00:28when he was seen by the patrolmen watching the body.
00:31This was immediately reported to the police.
00:34When we arrived, based on the bloodstains, he wasn't that stiff.
00:41So, probably, it was just a new wound.
00:45What we found there, almost on the side of the TRPOR, was a body without shoes,
00:54his feet were tied, he had a shirt punch, and a sublimation shirt.
01:00There was an acro, and his head was almost covered with a towel.
01:06According to the police, the victim was possibly forced to work hard before he was killed.
01:11We think that the two eyes had hematoma, and his hands were covered.
01:20We can also see that in the final report of the crime lab, in the medical legal result.
01:29The man's identity is not yet known.
01:32According to the authorities, it is possible that the body of the victim was forced to work hard in Barangay San Bartolomé.
01:38It is also possible that the victim was forced to work in a remote area.
01:40We also look at it, if it was forced in a remote area, or if it was caught by someone who did it.
01:51The investigation is ongoing because we are checking if there is a CCTV,
01:56if the crime scene is far from the house.
02:00In the crime scene, we don't have any footage.
02:04According to Batangas Police, it seems that there is no connection between the crime and the election.
02:09But the police are reminding us.
02:11We are protesting our campaign against the firearms,
02:17either this is a license, or especially for the firearms,
02:22that we are strictly enforcing the gun ban to ensure that our election is peaceful.
