A GRADE 9 female student has returned home a week after she was reported missing in Bacolod City on September 14.

Senior Inspector Rey Tolosa Jr., head of Police Station 4 confirmed on Sunday, September 23, that Bernice Gwendolyn Pagaling, 15, of Villa Angela Subdivision, Barangay Villamonte went home Saturday, September 22.

Tolosa said they were informed by the family that Pagaling returned safely to them after her mother had contacted her through social media.

He, however, refused to further elaborate the reason and other details about her case.

Pagaling was reported missing when she failed to go home after her class at St. Rose of Lima School on September 14.

Her photo was posted by Police Station 4 on Facebook after her family reported the incident the next day.
