Andyan na po yung mga pamangkin nagiiyakan na kung ano-ano hanggang sa pagdating dito sa bayan ng Porac punenarya, ibinaba po namin, pinabukasan ko, pagtingin namin, kakaiba. Hindi po siya,&quot; June said.He said the cadaver had no mole on the forehead.&quot;Unang-una, yung kapatid ko, may nunal. Yung kapatid ko, false teeth. Sa ospital pa lang, tinanggal na ipin niya so dapat wala siyang suot na ipin. Sabi ko tingnan mo nga kako yung ngipin niya. Pag ganun ng embalmer sa ngipin niya, ang ngipin niya ay permanent. Kahit anong hila, hindi matanggal,&quot; he said.He added, &quot;Yung bangkay, taga, Beijing, China ata po yun. Kasalukuyang yung embahada doon sa Israel hinahanap na po yan.&quot;June advised those assisting in the repatriation of his brother&#x27;s remains to check properly first to make sure that it&#x27;s his brother they&#x27;re sending back home to the Philippines. -- Report from DZMM
