Philippine authorities have confirmed that no wreckage of MH370 was found in the country, Malaysian Police Chief Khalid Abu Bakar said on Monday.

"The Philippines confirm that there is no wreckage of the plane, " Khalid told Bernama, the country's state news agency.

A man named Jamil Omar lodged a police report on Saturday in Malaysia, saying that his Filipino relative had found aircraft wreckage, which could be part of the missing Malaysia Airlines flight MH370.

He said his nephew found a Malaysian flag and human remains inside the wreckage on an island in the southernmost Philippine province of Tawi Tawi.

The flight, a Boeing 777-200, disappeared on March 8, 2014, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing with a total of 239 passengers on board, most of them Chinese.

The Malaysian government confirmed in August that an aircraft flapron found on the French Indian Ocean island of La Reunion belonged to the missing flight.
