Metro Manila (CNN Philippines, January 8) - Justice Secretary Menardo Gueverra has ordered the National Bureau of Investigation to conduct a separate probe on the controversial death of flight attendant Christine Dacera.
Department Order No. 006 dated Jan.7, a copy of which was released to media on Friday, also tasks the NBI to file appropriate charges against persons involved in the case.
NBI Officer-in-Charge Eric Distor was directed to submit reports within ten days and periodically thereafter to Guevarra on the progress of the investigation.
Gueverra earlier ordered the NBI to help the Philippine National Police in the medical examination, amid conflicting reports on her death. A police official initially noted that she appeared to have been raped, while an autopsy report said she died from aneurysm.
The National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) announced Friday that a special investigation task group (SITG) was created to conduct a deeper investigation on the death of flight attendant Christine Angelica Dacera on New Year's Day.

(Christine Dacera s Instagram) January 08, 2021 NATIONAL Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) Director Vicente Danao Jr. on Friday, January 8, 2021, said investigators were still identifying seven or eight other people who partied with flight attendant Christine Dacera in a Makati City hotel on New Year’s Eve, December 31, 2020.
Danao said Dacera went back and forth between her room, number 2209, and another room, number 2207, hours before she was found unresponsive in the bathtub of room 2209.
There were 11 people, including Dacera, in room 2209, but only Dacera and four others spent the night. The six others left.
There were seven or eight people, including Edward Madrid, in room 2207. Madrid has yet to give a statement.
The Philippine National Police (PNP) defended the Makati City police over allegations of bungling the investigation on the death of flight attendant Christine Angelica Dacera whose body was found in an empty bathtub of a hotel on Jan. 1.
