Police said in their complaint that Muslim convert Walter Villanueva told them that Dellosa stayed in his suburban Manila house, where he packed and attached wires to the TV set. Dellosa allegedly said the TV contained TNT and that he was ordered by Janjalani and Sulaiman to place the bomb aboard the ferry.

Dellosa allegedly later told Villanueva that the bomb had exploded aboard the ferry and that more terror attacks were in the offing.
