MANILA, Philippines — Interior and Local Government Secretary Jonvic Remulla said his support for the University of the Philippines (UP) men’s basketball team was not related to his department’s investigation into the death of two Ateneo de Manila University student-athletes.

“Number one, I’m not the team manager. The team manager is Coach Bo Perasol. I’m only one of the alumni helping the UP men’s basketball team” Remulla said in a press briefing in Quezon City on Friday.

“I’m doing this investigation because I’m the Secretary of the Interior and Local Government. It is part of my duty to make sure that justice is done. UP has nothing to do with this,” he stressed.
