MANILA. The Philippine Coast Guard (PCG) is set to begin search and retrieval operations at Taal Lake tomorrow, Thursday, July 11, 2025, in search of the remains of missing sabungeros who were allegedly dumped in the area.
The operation follows a directive from President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. and a formal request made by Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla to PCG Commandant Admiral Ronnie Gil Gavan on July 9.
The request includes the mobilization of specialized Coast Guard units and operational support teams to assist in the Department of Justice’s ongoing investigation into the disappearance of the cockfighting enthusiasts.
Commodore Geronimo Tuvilla, Commander of the Coast Guard District Southern Tagalog (CGDSTL), has been assigned to oversee all operational and tactical aspects of the search, ensuring personnel safety and consideration of environmental conditions.
Admiral Gavan has also directed the Coast Guard Fleet and the Coast Guard Aviation Command to deploy the PCG’s remotely operated vehicle (ROV) and unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) to enhance the operations.
A progress report on the mission will be released in the coming days, according to the PCG.
