In a report, the PCG said it assisted in the disposal of the whale, which was first notified by a concerned citizen.

"The Coast Guard Sub-Station (CGSS) in Infanta coordinated with the Municipal Agricultural Office (MAO), Municipal Environmental and Natural Resources Office (MENRO), and DENR CENRO-Real to address the situation," it said.

The PCG confirmed that the whale was in an advanced state of decomposition based on the assessment.
