HERMOSA, Bataan – Less than two months after a 17-year old girl was reported missing, her alleged skeletal remains were discovered by a boy tending to a carabao at a grassy portion in Pulo, a secluded barangay here last week (Thursday day afternoon).
Amihan Cachila, 42, of Pentor in Dinalupuhan, Bataan said they last saw their daughter on November 14, 2011 who left for her on-the-job training at the Lighthouse Hotel and Restaurant in the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority.
The girl, the couple’s only daughter, was a second year college taking up Hotel and Restaurant Services course at the East wood College in Dinalupihan town.
“Kung sino man ang may kinalaman sa pagkamatay ng anak ko, sana makonsensiya ka. At kung buhay pa naman ang anak ko, maawa kayo, ibalik ninyo siya sa akin,” the mother said in tears.
She said she identified her daughter from an earing and the T-shirt and blouse found with the skeletons. But she and her husband, Archie Perea, were still in doubt if the skeletal remains were indeed of their daughter.
“Hindi pa rin kami makapaniwala na sa loob ng dalawang buwan ay wala ng laman at balat ang bangkay at tanging mga kalansay na lamang. Sana, tulungan kami ng alinmang ahensiya ng pamahalaan na talagang makilala kung ito na nga ang anak namin,” the father said.
