“As soon as the police file a complaint with the prosecutor's office, we may issue a travel alert order to the BI,” the secretary said.
If there is a need, Guevarra said the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is ready to provide assistance in the case concerning the death of the 23-year-old flight attendant of the Philippine Airlines (PAL).
“For now, we'll let the PNP (Philippine National Police) handle the case,” the secretary said.
Dacera was found dead in the bathtub of her hotel room last Jan. 1 following a New Year’s celebration.
She was last seen alive with at least 12 men during a New Year’s eve party in Makati City.
Meanwhile, the PNP has declared the case solved and has arrested three suspects who were identified as John Pascual dela Serna III, Rommel Daluro Galido, and John Paul Reyes Halili.
However, the PNP said there are still nine other suspects who remain at large and have been identified as Gregorio Angelo de Guzman, Louie de Lima, Clark Jezreel Rapinan, Rey Englis, Mark Anthony Rosales, Jammy Cunanan, Valentine Rosales, and two other persons who were only known as Ed Madrid and Paul.
