The Sacred Heart of Jesus wasn’t an antique nor was it made of anything valuable, a fact that made police suspect the burglars were clueless locals.

Vidal threatened those who wouldn’t comply with punishment. But when asked to specify the penalties, he said in a SunStar Cebu report that he was only joking. The Santo Tomas de Villanueva was listed for P360,000 during The Asian Cultural Council Auction 2018 on March 3, 2018, and sold for P443,840, according to the Leon Gallery auction site.
The box that fell on Sony, however, contained one of the clearest photos of the two images in the retablo.
