Search for Missing Sabungeros in Taal Lake Expected to Last 6 Months, Confirms Remulla
Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla stated that the search for the missing cockfighting enthusiasts in Taal Lake may take up to six months due to the vast area and depth of the lake. The Department of Justice will be the main source of updates to ensure clear and unified communication.

The search for the missing cockfighting enthusiasts, or sabungeros, at the bottom of Taal Lake may take six more months due to the vastness and depth of the search area, according to Justice Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla. The Department of Justice (DOJ) will be the sole agency providing updates on the search operation to ensure unified and scientifically guided communication.
Remulla emphasized the need for patience in searching a 240-square-kilometer lake that is very deep. He highlighted the importance of a cohesive communication strategy to maintain the integrity of the investigation, urging that only the DOJ should speak publicly about the case.
Human and animal remains found recently are undergoing forensic and DNA testing, with Remulla stressing the importance of following proper forensic processes and using the best scientific methods to identify any remains. The DOJ has taken over communications to streamline updates and prevent fragmented statements that could hinder the investigation.
