Recent reports claiming that debris from the missing flight MH370 was found by a certain islander in the Philippines were denied to be true, according to authorities who initiated an investigation.

Despite what many may hope for, a possible lead with the Malaysian passenger aircraft MH370 that went missing last year in March was proved to be false according to an initial investigation by the authorities reported by Straits Times.

According to the regional headquarters of the Philippine National Police for the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), there had been unfortunately no confirmation regarding the rumor that an islander found a new piece of evidence in Tawi-Tawi island in the Philippines.

"We will check it out but if there is any aircraft that has gone down in our area there would have been alerts from civil aviation authorities," Maguindanao-based regional chief directorial staff senior superintendent Rodoleo Jocson said, as quoted by Straits Times.

"To date, there has been none," he added. 

Meanwhile, after the initial news reported by The Nation about a 46-year-old audio technician named Jamil Omar claiming that his aunt found a smashed fuselage and human remains in Tawi-Tawi, recent investigations proved that the claims were false.

Commander of Naval Task Force 61 captain Giovanni Carlo Bacordo, in light of the recent investigations, said that they initiated a search for the recently claimed wreckage.

"We deployed a gunboat there because of the news. We interviewed the people at the Sugbay Island, the fishermen, but they have no knowledge about it," he said, as quoted by The Star.  

"Even the people residing in the island for the longest time have no knowledge of this," Bacordo added. 

Although investigations are said to be still in the process, Bacordo said that it will require a great amount of effort because of the island's size. "If 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," the commander informed.

The news sparked when Omar contacted the Malaysian Police, claiming that his aunt saw the wreckage, to which Police commissioner Jalaludin Abdul Rahman reported to the press, as quoted by The Nation.  

"Mr Jamil claimed his aunt had entered the aircraft wreckage, which had many human skeletons and bones," he said. "She also found a Malaysian flag measuring 70 inches long and 35 inches wide."

The publication continues that it the skeleton allegedly belongs to the pilot and that his safety belt was still attached. Meanwhile, there are no further developments with the investigation process from the mysterious disappearance of the Malaysian flight MH370 with 239 passengers.
