Police identify source of pillows filled with used facemasks

The authorities have traced the source of pillows filled with used face masks to a shop in Biñan, Laguna.

According to Ian Cruz’s report on “24 Oras,” the shop was almost just across the barangay hall of Barangay Sto. Domingo.

Shop caretaker Nathaniel Geolisan, however, said that the dangerous pillows came from his brother-in-law Orlando Pagal.

Pagal, however, has yet to be seen for already two days.

“Sinasabi po niya nanggaling po ‘yung mga unan na ‘yon sa kaniyang bayaw. Nag-deny po siya na sila po ang nag-produce ng mga unan na ‘yon,” Biñan City chief of police Police Lieutenant Colonel Vanni Martinez said.

“’Yun po ang for two days nang nawawala. Pati ‘yung po sa bahay niya sa Canlalay wala rin po ‘yung tao,” he added as regards Pagal.

Seven individuals have complained about the pillows, saying that some have been sent to the province.

“Hinihikayat pa po namin ‘yung iba na baka may mabili pa doon sa ibang lugar na kung puwede i-turn over na sa amin and magfile ng complain para malikom natin lahat ng ebidensya,” barangay chairman Imelda Sera Jose said. -Joahna Lei Casilao/NB, GMA News
