"It's a very exhaustive, fact-intensive report," de Lima told reporters on Wednesday.
China has demanded a comprehensive, thorough and impartial investigation into the August 23 hijacking of a coach carrying 21 Hong Kong tourists in Manila by a sacked police officer that ended in a tragedy following a botched police resue operation.
Aquino has pledged to send a high-level delegation led by Vice President Jejomar Binay and Foreign Secretary Alberto Romulo to Beijing and Hong Kong to submit the report on the incident.
