Baterbonia's remains to stay in Davao for three days, says lawyer

The remains of Rene Baterbonia will be flown to Davao, according to lawyer Israelito Torreon, and will stay there for around three days before being brought to Agusan del Sur.

On Thursday, Torreon said that, based on his understanding, the body would be brought to the airport tonight for its flight to Davao City.

“My associate will be accompanying the family in order to ensure that they are okay. We have already secured all the necessary papers for the travel of the cadaver from Manila to Davao,” Torreon said.

According to Torreon, the flight will also be via a private plane, “and we thank Ateneo for that.”

Baterbonia’s remains will stay in Davao for three days before being brought to Talacogon, Agusan del Sur.
