The family of deceased Beauty Queen Geneva Lopez hopes that the government will allocate more resources, and act with urgency to resolve missing persons cases.
Jovi Lopez, the sister of Geneva, directed the message to President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. after authorities found the remains of the beauty queen and her Israeli boyfriend, Yitzhak Cohen, buried at a remote area in Brgy. Sta. Lucia, Capas, Tarlac on Saturday, July 6.
Police unearthed the remains after the pair went missing more than two weeks.
"Sana yung mga ganitong kaso ng nawawala, kung may mas mabilis na aksyon, kung may mas maraming resources na magagamit para agad na makita yung nawawala," Jovi told DZRH on Monday, July 8.
"Hindi lang kasi kami yung nawawalan, marami rin," she added.
Jovi also expressed concern for the security of her family since they plan to pursue cases against the people behind the death of Geneva.
"Yung security ng bawat tao at kami din lalo na at after nito lalo na at hindi namin alam yung mga susunod na mangyayari lalo na sa mga kaso na darating," Jovi remarked.
"Ilalaban namin yung hustisya na kinakamit namin para sa kanila," she stressed.
