Aside from a cache of unlicensed firearms and explosives, agents of the CIDG also found cash amounting to almost P19 million at the residential compound of former Negros Oriental Gov. Pryde Henry Teves at Barangay Caranoche in Sta. Catalina town.
Valmonte, at a press briefing here on Sunday, stressed that they had counted and documented the money they recovered and assured “no single centavo will be [lost].”
“I reached out to the DOJ. They need me … to answer some questions so they can put [the details] together. I am very willing also, I have no problem with it,” he said. Valmonte said an informant told authorities about the location of the weapons. The agents had to dig up some parts of the compound with the use of a backhoe to recover the firearms.Valmonte said that the presence of these weapons is an indication that “there is an intention of an act of terrorism.”Valmonte said the recovered weapons will be subjected to forensic tests to identify if these are connected to the weapons used by rebels.
“What we are doing is still pursuant to Oplan Paglalansag, the flagship project of the CIDG against illegal possession of firearms,” he said.
