Quezon City Police District-CIDU chief Elmer Monsalve said on Tuesday that police forcibly took back a body found in Novaliches from a funeral parlor after Anakpawis members allegedly removed it without proper authority.

Monsalve maintained the body was Manuel Santiago's, not National Democratic Front of the Philippines consultant Randall Echanis as claimed by Anakpawis and Santiago's wife.

He stated only immediate family members can claim a deceased person's remains.
