菲律宾大学失踪学生的母亲及其律师于周四前往新比利毕监狱探视了前少将乔维托·帕尔帕兰。她们此行旨在确认其下落，此前法院发出的传票因无法送达而被退回。人权委员会的调查人员也抵达现场进行了独立调查。
雪琳·卡达潘和凯伦·恩佩尼奥的母亲与她们的律师一同进入了位于蒙廷卢帕市的新比利毕监狱。新比利毕监狱局长加里·加西亚表示，她们在最低安全级别拘留区与帕尔帕兰会面了超过一个小时。
加西亚指出，此次探视旨在消除疑虑，此前这些家庭已正式要求惩教局核实帕尔帕兰的所在地。由于传票被退回且暗示其可能已被转移，这些母亲曾于6月9日向最高法院提交了一份陈述书。
帕尔帕兰于2018年被布拉干省一家法院判定犯有两项绑架和严重非法拘禁罪。证人作证称，这些学生于2006年6月26日在布拉干省哈戈诺伊的一处民宅中被带走，并被送往其指挥下的军事营地。
加西亚补充说，惩教局在处理此类事务时始终保持透明，并欢迎这一核实请求以避免困惑。本月是这些学生失踪20周年。
