From ABS-CBN (Jan 6): DND 'making own inquiry' on US drone in Quezon
The Palace is "aware" of reports about a US Navy drone recovered near the islet of Patnanungan in Quezon province.
Communications Secretary Sonny Coloma on Tuesday said the Department of National Defense (DND) is "making its own inquiry" on the matter.
The drone, with markings indicating it is owned by the US Navy, was first spotted by a fisherman at around 4 p.m. last Sunday, police said.
Local policemen loaded the drone into a fishing boat then brought it to the local police station.
Maj. Gen. Ricardo Visaya, commander of the Armed Forces of the Philippines Southern Luzon Command, confirmed that policemen recovered an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) off the Polilio Group of Islands in Quezon.
Visaya said the two-feet long UAV with a one-foot wingspan is now in the custody of the Patnanungan police.
He said the military is coordinating with US officials to find out the origin of the drone.
