According to the report, the team from the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) is traveling to the earthquake-stricken parts of Myanmar to assist in the identification of fatalities and help locate the four still-missing Filipino nationals. The Philippine Embassy in Yangon said experts of the NBI Disaster Victim Identification Division (NBI-DVID) would arrive in Mandalay, one of Myanmar's worst disaster sites, on Saturday to secure tissue samples collected from unidentified remains recovered from the Sky Villa site.
The report said that Four Filipinos who remain unaccounted for are feared trapped under the rubble of the Sky Villa Condominium that was pancaked after a 7.7 magnitude earthquake hit the Southeast Asia state last week. The embassy said the NBI-DVID in Manila would also collect samples from the family members of the missing Filipinos “to ascertain indubitable identity.”
Despite dead bodies being decomposed; they could be identified d through forensic laboratory examination.
However, the embassy was able to request local rescuers to extract tissue samples from the deceased persons first and alert them if they were identified as Filipino. According to the Office of Civil Defense (OCD), the urban search and rescue teams from Myanmar, Vietnam, Russia, and China have been assigned to the Sky Villa site. The embassy is currently providing transportation and temporary accommodation to the first batch of Filipinos who availed of its voluntary relocation program for earthquake-hit nationals. While under their custody, the Filipinos will be offered. welfare assistance, including financial aid, and medical assistance, including trauma counseling.
There will be additional Filipinos to be sent to Myanmar to assist the first batch.
