  • 74 - LAGIM: After Hours on The Disappearance of Catherine Camilon

    Mabuhay, LagimFam!

    Welcome to the first ever episode of Lagim: After Hours, a semi-regular bonus content series that I am embedding in the regular feed as well as on my YouTube feed.

    The episodes are mainly a more freestyle vodcast but I have extracted the audio for the podcat-only audience in case you do not want to watch a video.

    There are not a lot of SFX, bits and bobs, we just dive right into the topic and case and see where it leads us.

    After Hours will cover smaller cases, cases that are still rather new and developing, cases that do not have lots of info on them in order to make a whole podcast episode out of.

    I am also trying to be better with my video editing skills and with uploading other stuff on YouTube, so let us see where this goes.

    Our first ever episode focuses on beauty pageant queen Catherine Camilon who recently went missing. As of the time of recording and uploading, she is still missing but there are at least 2 suspects who are currently identified and further 2 who remain unknown, at least to us, the public.

    List of sources is here.

  • 73 - The Killing of Jemboy Baltazar

    On the 2nd August 2023, Jerhode Jemboy Baltazar and his friend, Sonny Boy, planned a fishing trip to earn a couple of bucks. The boys set out to first clean their boats before sailing out but as they were minding their business, a group of police officers approached their area in Navotas and opened fire.

    Sonny Boy saw his friend fall into the water, only to never surface alive anymore. Another young soul taken by the very authorities tasked to protect and serve Filipinos.

    Jemboy's killing ignited discussions around the culture of corruption, violence and impunity within the PNP and how after Duterte's war on drugs, killings of unarmed, mostly poor Filipinos continue. Despite showing themselves as remorseful and willing to prioritise Jemboy's case, cracks would soon be seen that would expose how the police would always protect their own first instead of taking responsibility for their crimes.

    Listen now to learn more about this case.

  • 72 - The Murder of Jullebee Cabilis Ranara

    Overseas Filipino Workers or OFWs have long been dubbed as the Philippines' modern-day heroes. They leave family and friends, their comfort zones, their culture and homes behing to try their luck in foreign and far-flung countries, hoping to earn a better living than from the few opportunities offered back home.

    In July 2022, Jullebee Cabilis Ranara, a native of Las Piñas decided to try her luck again in Kuwait after a successful stint in Bahrain some years before. In the early days of her stay with her Kuwaiti employer, there had already been signs that Jullebee may not have been entirely safe. Six months later, she would be found dead in a desert and the way she was found sent shockwaves through Kuwait and the Philippines alike.

    But here is the thing...Jullebee was not the first and only one who was murdered in Kuwait. She was, in a way, the culmination of a series of deaths that would ultimately make Filipinos question their own government and whether it really was capable of keeping OFWs safe abroad.

    Jullebee's story is also the story of Joanna Demafelis, Constancia Lago Dayag and Jeanelyn Villavende. Listen now to learn about all of their stories.

  • 71 - The Pamplona Massacre and Killing of Roel Degamo

    On the 4th March, a group of armed men in military gear entered the residence of Negros Oriental governor Roel Degamo. What looked to be a normal Saturday of meeting his constituents suddenly turned into a nightmare that his family is still living to this very day.

    In a matter of days, it became apparent that the killing of Degamo was not just an unfortunate incident. Signs and evidence point at a greater conspiracy to eliminate the governor who may have stood in the way of another family's political ambitions.

    Listen now to learn more about this story.

  • 70 - The Mitsero Killings (feat details about the new TV show, Cattleya Killer)

    Mabuhay, LagimFam.

    This week, come dive with me into an international case that has echoed globally - the Mitsero Killings, involving Cyprus' first recognized serial killer.

    In this episode, I narrate the chilling events in the serene village of Mitsero in Cyprus. I cover the 2019 discovery of the bodies of several women and children, all foreign workers and their dependents, concealed in suitcases in a toxic lake.

    I honour the victims' lives cut short and scrutinise the societal conditions that made them vulnerable to this heinous crime. This coverage includes the local police investigation, the Cypriot community's reaction, and the lasting effects on the island nation and beyond.

    This episode aims to inform, engage, and encourage reflection on these global issues, transcending geographical limits. I shed light on the darkest corners of humanity to promote a safer, more empathetic world.

    Moreover, in this episode I will be introducing you to a new crime fiction TV show that will be streamed on Prime on June 1st. The show is called the CATTLEYA KILLER, starring Arjo Atayde, Christopher de Leon, Ricky Davao just to name a few. It is a 6-episode tv series that takes place in the same universe as the 1996 hit film, Sa Aking Mga Kamay, starring Aga Muhlach and Christopher de Leon.

    The events in the tv show take place a couple decades later when women’s bodies started to show up dead in the capital yet again. The police are reminded of the Cattleya Killer but cannot figure out who is killing the poor women since the serial killer, Gene Rivera, was shot dead by Christopher de Leon’s character in the OG Cattleya Killer movie.

    I draw parallels and point out differences between the show and our case this week as both tackle serial killings involving vulnerable women. I hope you will not only listen to this episode but also go ahead and subscribe to Prime Video to watch CATTLEYA KILLER this coming June 1st.

    Thank you, LagimFam!
