It has been established that the alleged gunmen of the Bondi Beach massacre on December 14 were in the Philippines just weeks before they killed 15 people in a terrorist attack in Sydney. The father and son duo spent four weeks in the country, but authorities have yet to ascertain what exactly they did there despite unverified reports they received "military-style training."

On this episode of On Assignment With Me, I speak to an investigative journalist who went to Davao City – where the pair stayed. Carmela Fonbuena takes us on assignment with her, as she tells us what she discovered, and why the trip to the southern Philippines left her with more questions than answers.
