PNP, wala pang matibay na katibayan na dumadawit kay Alvin Que sa pagpatay sa ama

- Investigators are still verifying claims made by suspect David Tan Liao against Alvin Que

- Liao accused Alvin of ordering the abduction and killing of his father, Anson Que

- “We do not accept hook, line, and sinker the allegation of David Tan Liao,” says PNP spokesperson BGen. Jean Fajardo

- He voluntarily submitted his phone for forensic examination to help clear his name

The Philippine National Police (PNP) said Wednesday it remains unclear whether Ronxian Gou, also known as Alvin Que—the son of kidnap-slay victim and Chinese businessman Anson Que—is involved in the crime.

In a press briefing at Camp Crame, PNP spokesperson BGen. Jean Fajardo stated that investigators are still gathering evidence to verify the alleged involvement of the younger Que, based on the extrajudicial confession of arrested suspect David Tan Liao, ABS-CBN reported.

Fajardo confirmed that Liao implicated Alvin Que as the person who allegedly ordered the abduction and killing of his own father.

However, she cautioned the public not to take Liao’s statement at face value.

“We do not accept hook, line, and sinker the allegation of David Tan Liao. For all we know, he’s just saying this to exculpate himself,” Fajardo said, adding that Liao had prior involvement in similar cases.

“We have to be cautious, we have to be careful, and very thorough in investigating this because there is a possibility that David Tan Liao is pointing to someone else just to gain leverage against the true mastermind—if there is any,” she added.

Fajardo noted that Alvin Que is cooperating with authorities and has voluntarily submitted his cellphone to the PNP Anti-Kidnapping Group for forensic examination “with the objective of clearing his name.”

Despite his accusations, Fajardo emphasized that Liao has not provided concrete evidence.

“May mga sinasabi po siya doon sa kanyang statements… wala po siyang mai-present,” she said.

Still in other news, the “West Philippine Sea” label has disappeared from Google Maps after being visible for a couple of weeks. Reversing recent prominence, the label's absence sparked renewed discussion. When Google Maps placed the label prominently on the platform weeks ago, the Philippine welcomed it as recognition of the country’s sovereignty in the area. No official explanation given for the fluctuating display of the contested area's name.
