After finalizing all the arrangements, Leonard and the others quickly rearranged the scene, such as thoroughly cleaning the Buddha statue from the mound of sand and throwing the dirt from the mound outside, and also relaying the silver bricks in the pit.
Once the scene was all set, Leonard began making calls to some people. Of course, the discoveries had to be reported to the local official, the archaeological department, and even the tax department, but before that, he had to make extra calls to ensure that the people coming would act according to the law.
Soon, Leonard successfully contacted the right people. In addition to the local officials, he also invited several domestic and foreign media outlets in the Philippines to cover the event live.
Although they planned to move the golden Buddha, they intended to reveal everything else directly, so calling some media at this time was obviously a good idea.
