BACOLOD CITY – The Philippine National Police central Crime Laboratory will conduct the DNA test on the skeletal remains inside a drum found by a fisherman here.

Police chief Henry Biñas told DNX his office will only facilitate the request of Ann Pirote, the daughter of police officer Lito Pirote on Holy Week last year and remains missing until now.

“We will only forward her request,” Biñas told DNX.
