MANILA --- The Philippine Coast Guard has recovered more sacks at the bottom of Taal Lake during the first day of diving operations on Friday, July 11.

After conducting a site assessment yesterday, the PCG deployed over 30 technical divers on Friday to search for the remains of the missing sabungeros.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) said it received information that a sandbag was tied to the sacks containing the alleged remains to ensure they sank to the lakebed.

PCG spokesperson Captain Noemie Cayabyab said three teams have been deployed to conduct diving operations in locations believed to be the dumping sites of cockfighting enthusiasts who went missing about three years ago.

The teams left around 7:45 a.m. for the first day of actual diving operations, as Thursday, July 10, was spent on an initial technical assessment of the area.
