Philippines Armed Forces said they have not seen any sight of plane wreckage of a Malaysian flight in Tawi-Tawi as reported in the news.

Captain Giovanni Carlo Bacordo, commander of Naval Task Force 61 said, '€œSince yesterday, we deployed a gunboat there because of the news. We have interviewed the people there, the fishermen, but they have no knowledge about it.'€

Their investigation was intended as a follow up to the report lodged by a man who said that the wreckage with human remains was allegedly spotted by his relative in Tawi-Tawi. The skeletal remains were reportedly seen in the pilot'€™s chair with seat belt fastened.

This led him to believe that it could be part of flight MH370 that disappeared last year in March, the one that carried 239 passengers from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.

Bacardo said that even the populace residing in the island for the longest time have no knowledge of the wreckage. Instead, they were surprised to look into the report on plane wreckage.

'€œIf we are to check [thoroughly], it has to be a deliberate effort. It'€™s a big island, 3.5 miles long'€¦ but we did an initial investigation with the populace,'€ Bacardo said.
