PH Murder Stories

On March 17, 1957, the Philippines awoke to devastating news. A plane had crashed on the dark slopes of Mount Manunggal in Cebu, leaving behind fiery wreckage and lifeless bodies.

Among the dead was the beloved President of the Philippines, Ramon Magsaysay. Only one man out of the 26 on board survived. 

The nation, still basking in the hope and optimism brought by Magsaysay’s leadership, was thrown into mourning overnight.

On the night of August 16, 2017, in a crowded neighborhood in Caloocan City, Metro Manila, gunfire pierced the air. 

Hours later, the lifeless body of a 17-year-old boy was discovered in a dark alley near the Tullahan River.

The victim’s name was Kian Lloyd delos Santos—a student, a joker among friends, and a teenager who once dreamed of becoming a police officer.

His death would become one of the most defining moments in former President Rodrigo Duterte’s war on drugs—a campaign that had already claimed thousands of lives but had rarely held perpetrators accountable.

This is the story of Kian, the police officers who killed him, the investigation that followed, and what his case reveals about one of the most brutal chapters in the Duterte administration.

On November 27, 1970, history was unfolding as Pope Paul VI became the first pontiff to set foot on Philippine soil. 

A three-day pastoral visit had just begun, greeted by the full spectacle of state and church. President Ferdinand Marcos and First Lady Imelda Marcos led the welcome, while thousands of faithful braved the Manila heat for a glimpse of the Holy Father.

Then, in an instant, celebration turned to chaos. 

A man wearing a priest’s robe broke through the crowd and lunged at the Pope with a concealed blade. His target was clear—the pontiff himself.

The Vatican would later call the Pope’s survival “a miracle.” The assailant described his act as a strike against hypocrisy. For the Philippines, it became an unforgettable moment etched in living memory.

In June 2008, an ABS-CBN news team had just arrived in the quiet town of Maimbung, Sulu, determined to land an exclusive story from the leaders of the infamous Abu Sayyaf Group.

At the time, Abu Sayyaf was one of the most feared armed groups in the Philippines—known for kidnappings, bombings, and ties to terrorism. Getting a sit-down with its leaders would have been a huge scoop, offering rare insight into their motives and operations.

At the center of it all was Cecilia Victoria “Ces” Oreña-Drilon, a seasoned broadcast journalist admired for her bravery and instinct for powerful stories. 

On June 8, 2008, Ces, her crew, and Mindanao State University professor Octavio Dinampo entered the tense and unpredictable terrain of Jolo—unaware that they were about to be part of one of the most terrifying moments in Philippine media history.

Bishop Benjamin de Jesus—known for his kindness and fearless work in one of the country’s most dangerous regions—was gunned down in cold blood in the morning of February 4, 1997, at Jolo, Sulu. 

Witnesses say two men walked right up to him and opened fire at close range, hitting him in the head, face, neck, shoulder, and stomach. He died instantly.

Investigators quickly pointed to members of the Abu Sayyaf group—or other armed militants operating in the area—as the likely culprits. 

But in a place where politics, religion, and violence were tangled together, finding the real masterminds would prove far more complicated.

It was just three days before Christmas in Daraga, Albay. 

In a covered court filled with laughter, gifts, and the chatter of elderly citizens, the mood was one of celebration. 

But in an instant, the holiday spirit shattered. Gunfire. Panic. Blood on the court floor. 

And the shocking realization that one of the Philippines’ most active lawmakers — Congressman Rodel Batocabe — had been assassinated in broad daylight.

This was no random act of violence. This was a hit. Carefully planned. Coldly executed.

Have you ever been “349ed”? Have you heard of this Filipino slang before? Its origin story was due to a marketing blunder—one that would be the deadliest in history.  

Pepsi launched “Number Fever” in 1992, a lottery game that a lot of Filipinos hoped to win because it was a chance to become a millionaire. 

The correct 3-digit number combination on their Pepsi bottle cap would be the financial miracle to their woes. 

However, Pepsi mistakenly printed 800,000 winning caps, leading to lawsuits, riots, and deaths.

In Philippine cinema, few names shine as brightly as Nida Blanca’s. 

She was elegance, charm, and talent personified — a beloved actress whose career spanned decades. 

But on the morning of November 7, 2001, the nation woke up to news that shattered the glamour of showbiz, at least during this time. Nida Blanca was found dead, and the circumstances were brutal.

It was supposed to be an ordinary trip. Just another bus making its way through the winding roads of the town of Hamtic, province of Antique. 

But on the afternoon of December 5th, 2023, what began as routine ended in devastation. 

Seventeen lives were lost. Families were torn apart. And a small stretch of road, long feared by locals, claimed yet more victims.

This is the story of the Antique bus crash—a tragedy that reveals more than a single moment of mechanical failure. 

It’s a story about dangerous roads, the high cost of neglect, and a community demanding answers.

In 2018, Paul Le Roux, a white Zimbabwean who held South African and Australian passports, was a notorious crime lord who illegally trafficked drugs, gold, and guns. 

He testified in a U.S. court about having murdered numerous people by professional assassins, including a Filipina real estate agent killed in 2012. 

Six years earlier from his testimony, Le Roux was arrested by the Drug Enforcement Administration in Liberia. 

He began to cooperate with the U.S. government as they rounded up and prosecuted his criminal organization members for reducing a possible life sentence.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought a lot of difficulties worldwide. Aside from health reasons, financial and political instability is probably another impactful obstacle that the global health crisis has affected us throughout its existence. 

This led to increased crime rates, especially theft, robbery, online scams, and other related offenses.

Several gruesome crimes happened during these trying times, particularly the Merciless Murder of Fabel Pineda, the Gregorio Double-Murder case, the Killing of Winston Ragos, and several others. 

Little did we know, another gruesome crime happened on August 3, 2020, which involved an 82-year-old Japanese woman who was robbed and killed by two perpetrators in her residence in Millwood Subdivision, Cabuyao City, Laguna.

On April 22, 2025, a shocking report about the massacre of seven people in a bakery in Barangay Cupang, Antipolo City, went viral nationwide. 

Among the seven victims of this gruesome crime, five were aged between 21 and 25 years old, while two were minors. The lone suspect, on the other hand, was quick to surrender.

Residents and neighbors were deeply disturbed by the brutal nature of the killings, especially given that the victims were people they knew or saw regularly in the community.

In 1987, the story of Rosario Baluyot's abuse and torture at the hands of an Austrian physician sparked outrage all over the country. She lived in Olongapo, or what was known as "Sin City" back then, due to rampant prostitution in the area.

It was on October 10, 1986, when Austrian physician, Heinrich Stefan Ritter, brought Rosario Baluyot and Jessie Ramirez, another child, to a hotel room in Olongapo. Ritter then inserted a foreign object inside Baluyot. The following day, Ritter gave Baluyot 300 pesos and Jessie 200 pesos.

Rosario Baluyot would eventually die from a severe infection in her cervix due to an electric vibrator stuck inside her vagina for over 7 months.

During the trial, because of the lack of proper documents to prove Baluyot’s age, as well as the lack of evidence to link Ritter to her death, Ritter was acquitted.

On July 10, 2024, the Lake Hotel in Tagaytay became the center of a horrifying discovery. The lifeless bodies of Australian nationals David Fisk, 57, and his wife, Lucita Cortez, 55, along with her daughter-in-law, Mary Jane Cortez, 30, were found in their hotel room. 

Their hands and feet were bound, and their faces were covered with packaging tape—a scene that sent shockwaves nationwide.  

Initially, the motive behind these murders wasn’t clear to the authorities. According to the Tagaytay police, some valuables of the victims, including their cellphones, were not taken by the suspect.

Meanwhile, Tagaytay City Mayor Abraham Tolentino quickly released a statement apologizing to the victims' families: "We’re very sorry to our Australian friends. We will resolve this as soon as possible.”

On July 7, 2018, Vice Mayor Alex Lubigan was traveling in a black Toyota Hilux when gunmen inside a black sports utility vehicle fired gunshots, killing the Vice Mayor on the spot. 

Meanwhile, witnesses also saw another black Toyota Hilux following the black SUV, which authorities claim could possibly be the getaway vehicle of the suspects, 

The brutal attack occurred around 3 pm in front of the Korean Hospital on Indang Road in Trece Martires City. Lubigan's driver, Romulo Guillemer, was also killed, while his security aide, Romeo Edrinal, was critically injured and taken to the hospital.

Initially, news and political analysts thought that Vice Mayor Lubigan was on the list of politicians involved in illegal drugs as his death came in the same week when the assassinations of two mayors, Antonio Halili of Tanauan City, Batangas; and Ferdinand Bote of General Tinio, Nueva Ecija.

However, Cavite police chief Senior Superintendent William Segun said Vice Mayor Lubigan was not on the drug list therefore, the killing was politically motivated.

On August 30, 2024, 36-year-old Chatty Timbang was admitted to the emergency room of a public hospital in Dasmariñas City, Cavite. Her mother, Conchita Timbang, accompanied her.

At 3:10 AM, an assassin managed to reach Chatty’s hospital bed. 

Upon spotting his target, the killer pulled out his gun and fired several close-range shots, killing Chatty instantly. 

Conchita, who had been sleeping beside her daughter, was struck by a stray bullet that hit her right thigh.

The assassin escaped but encountered obstacles along the way. A helper named Nedia Vasquez and a security guard named Abdul Batua intervened, leading to the assassin shooting both of them.

Fortunately, the gunshots that Conchita, Nedia, and Abdul sustained were not fatal.

According to police reports and various news outlets that covered the case, the murder of Chatty appeared to be connected to illegal drug distribution in the city of Dasmariñas.

In the Philippine context, parricide refers to the crime of killing one's own parent, ascendant grandparent or great-grandparent, or other close relatives such as a child, spouse, or sibling, as specified under the Revised Penal Code of the Philippines.

Specifically, Article 246 of the RPC defines parricide as the unlawful killing of a father, mother, child, or any of the direct descendants or ascendants, or a spouse.

In our episode for today, we will tackle one of the least discussed parricide cases that happened in the 2010s.

On November 28, 2012, the authorities discovered the body of 49-year-old Marilou Jorge in the trunk of her gold Honda Civic parked near her home in North Matrix Ville Subdivision, Caloocan City.

Earlier that day, residents in the area complained to village officials about an unpleasant smell coming from what they described at the time as an abandoned vehicle.

Little did they know at the time that the authorities would stumble upon a case that has more questions than answers.

Mayor Antonio Halili of Tanuan Batangas was a well-known figure back in the day for his "walk of shame" campaign, where he paraded drug suspects through the streets, a method that garnered both support and criticism nationwide, which critics would argue that it violated human rights and due process.

Some have compared him to former president Rodrigo Duterte’s hardline stance against crime. 

But the irony here is that a former Duterte ally recently revealed during the investigations in the House of Representatives Quad Committee claiming that Duterte was behind the assassination of Mayor Halili, although the investigation is still ongoing as of now. 

On July 2, 2018, Mayor Halili was assassinated during a flag ceremony at the city hall. A sniper shot him, causing immediate chaos and raising questions about the motive behind the killing. He was rushed to the hospital but was declared dead on arrival.

Mayor Halili's murder was speculated to be linked to his anti-drug campaign, political rivalries, or personal vendettas. Some theories suggested he was targeted for his involvement in the illegal drug trade.

A  49-year-old Filipina’s death in Burnaby, Canada sent shockwaves among the Filipinos in her community as she was killed by two young men aged 21 years old and 15 years old. 

Her burned remains would be discovered in Greentree Village Park, near a children’s playground. 

Her family, friends, and the rest of her community have been in mourning since her violent death.

“She did not deserve her fate,” said her longtime friend. Maria Cecilia Loreto, who often went by Mycel, was among the many hardworking Filipinos abroad, striving to attain a better life. Through her best efforts, she was able to bring her family to Canada.

However, she would not be able to spend any more time with them as her life was gruesomely taken away by two men. It was believed that the victim and suspects knew each other, and that the incident was planned.

Maria Cecilia Loreto was better known as Maricel or Mycel, a combination of her names Maria and Cecilia, to her friends and family. She arrived in Vancouver, Canada in 2011, and has since been working multiple jobs; one including at a Superstore.

As of recording this episode, the filing of candidacies for the upcoming 2025 midterm elections has concluded, which means it is election season all over again in the Philippines. 

With that being said, throughout the course of our country’s history various political events that have led to violence and killings have occurred.

One of the most infamous incidents that changed the course of our country’s political landscape is The Plaza Miranda Bombing in 1971.

The Plaza Miranda Bombing, at the time, was viewed as one of the most infamous tragedies that happened during a political event. 

On the evening of August 21, 1971, the Liberal Party, which was the opposition party against former dictator Ferdinand Marcos Sr.’s Nacionalista Party, was holding a political rally at Plaza Miranda in Quiapo, Manila. 

As the rally was in full swing, two grenades were thrown onto the stage where the Liberal Party leaders were gathered. The explosions caused chaos and devastation, resulting in nine deaths and injuring 95 others. Among the casualties were a five-year-old child and Ben Roxas, a photographer for the Manila Times.

The upcoming 2025 midterm elections are near, which means the future of our leaders will be based on our votes this coming May. 

Through the years, there have been various incidents or initiatives from well-known or infamous politicians that broke or paved the way for their careers in public service.

On April 23, 2012, a supposedly peaceful dismantling of a wet market quickly escalated into violence, resulting in one death and 40 injured people after the informal settlers of the Silverio Compound, fearing that they would lose their homes, confronted the police along Sucat Road in Parañaque City.

The sole casualty was Arnel Leonor, a 19-year-old resident of the said residential compound, lying on the pavement with a fatal gunshot wound in the head. The police brought him to the nearest medical facility, but he was declared dead on arrival. 

This violent demolition in Paranaque City sparked discussions that highlighted the complex issues surrounding urban development, housing rights, and the need for more humane and inclusive approaches to addressing informal settlements.

Sagay City, located in the northern part of the province of Negros Occidental, is a significant hub for agriculture resources, where its local community is deeply connected. 

Historically, Sagay has been a major player in the sugar industry, which is a significant economic driver in the province.

However, despite economic gains from the sugar plantations in Sagay, most of its farmers and plantation workers are being treated poorly by greedy land owners and land grabbers, some of which are influential and are supported by some local politicians or possibly even nationwide-elected leaders. 

The poor treatment received by sugar farmers in Sagay is just an understatement. Some of those who stand up and fight for their rights against these greedy influential land owners are often getting brutally punished and some are getting killed. 

On the evening of October 20, 2018, nine farmers of the National Federation of Sugar Workers, which included four women and two minors, were having dinner in a makeshift tent when they were attacked by armed men. 

There were survivors in the incident though their names were not reported to protect their identities. 

The brutal incident happened at Hacienda Nene, a sugarcane plantation located in Barangay Bulanon, Sagay City.

From time to time we make it our way to feature episodes with good outcomes. We know our podcast features true crime cases and accidents caused by humans or natural disasters, most of which did not have a happy ending, not that we expected it to be.

However, we stumbled upon a story way back in 2010 at Dalaguete, Cebu, where a pine tree saved the lives of 32 people inside a bus that was about to fall off a cliff. 

This story was so amazing that we really need to go out of our way from our usual stories to cover this one for our listeners.

Before the country’s most disastrous ship-related tragedies, the MV Dona Paz incident. Seven years earlier, the tragic sinking of M/V Don Juan in April 1980 at the time was the most disastrous of such incidents in the Philippines.

Negligence played a big role in this tragic accident, various avoidable instances were a factor such as overloading of passengers, and the vessel’s captain playing mahjong moments before the accident causing the lives of 176 people and hundreds of missing people. 

At the time, little that our elders knew that the tragedy that happened to M/V Don Juan would be the trigger point of various major incidents to come on what local conspiracy theorists branded as the Romblon Triangle, similar to the Bermuda Triangle in the United States. 

Regardless on whether the curse of the Romblon Triangle is there or not, safety measures and attentiveness to the vessel and its surroundings were further highlighted in today's standards.

The West Philippine Sea is one of the most conflicted areas in the world, with various countries such as the Philippines, China, Vietnam, and others in the Asia Pacific claiming territorial rights in the disputed region.

Given the heightened tensions between Manila and Beijing, we decided to look for incidents that fit our show’s genre. 

We found one that happened in 2013 under the Aquino administration.

On May 9, 2013, a 65-year-old Taiwanese Fisherman named Huang Shih-Cheng, who was aboard a fishing boat, was shot dead by members of the Philippine Coast Guard aboard a surveillance ship. 

The incident happened in the Balintang Channel, where the Philippines and Taiwan’s Exclusive Economic Zones overlap.

At the time, the incident strained the diplomatic relations between Manila and Taipei, affecting the livelihood of overseas Filipino workers in Taiwan.

In the province of Negros Occidental, the bodies of 58-year-old Kevin Fleischauer, a former US Navy, and his Filipina wife, 60-year-old Lolly, were found inside a 20-feet deep well near their home after being missing for over two weeks. 

Their fellow church members at Open Door Baptist Church had been worried about the couple after not hearing from them for over a week. With the help of authorities, they were led to a well that was emitting a strong, foul odor.

As they initially suspected, the authorities found the bodies of Kevin and Lolly Fleischauer in the well. 

Upon inspection of the couple’s residence, it became more glaring that the motive behind the killings was robbery.

The Philippines has its fair share of infamous tragedies linked to fires throughout its history. From the 1980s till the 2010s, there have been tragedies caused by fire every decade, which features cases with 70 or more casualties.

These incidents are the infamous MV Doña Paz Tragedy in 1987 with 4,000 casualties, the Ozone Disco Fire in 1996 that killed 162 people, the Manor Hotel blaze in 2001 that caused 75 people's lives, and the Kentex Factory Fire in 2015, which took away the lives of 74 workers. 

Though most of these tragedies have a strong following at the time, the terrifying Kentex Factory Fire is a story that also needs to be revisited.

On May 13, 2015, the Kentex Manufacturing Company Building located in Valenzuela City, Metro Manila, was on fire due to welding sparks that ignited the chemicals used to make flip-flops and rubber shoes.

Thick, black smoke covered the building as rubber and chemicals burned. Sadly, the fire started near the factory entrance, which made it impossible for those trapped inside to get out alive. Unable to leave, trapped workers fled to the second floor and attempted to contact their relatives for help.

The blaze spread quickly, and only a few people escaped.

Have you ever accidentally bumped into someone that quickly escalated into a physical confrontation?

There have been various incidents in the past caused by accidental bumps in public places such as concerts, bars, malls, and other social gathering events that have been the reason for physical fights, and some have led to people killing one another.

The victim in our episode for today, 28-year-old overseas Filipino worker and cruise ship photographer Gino Basas, was killed in a bar in Tomas Morato, Quezon City, after bumping into a male college student with toxic masculinity issues. 

Based on the CCTV footage uncovered by the authorities, it was seen that the person Gino Basas bumped into gathered his friends and waited for Basas in the parking lot to beat him up which led to the latter’s demise.

On a Saturday night last January 6, 2024, 45-year-old Ryan Ambrosio and 43-year-old Jennifer Ambrosio, a Filipino couple and parents of six children in Michigan, were on their way home from a date night. 

As they were cruising through the Lodge Freeway near the Civic Center Drive in Southfield at around 1:30 am, a vehicle going the wrong way crashed into them, tragically leading to the demise of Ryan and Jen.

The culprit, 35-year-old Angel Melendez-Ortiz, was evading police at the time. In order to lose them, he decided to drive on the wrong side of the freeway with the headlights of his stolen vehicle turned off.

It is when he tragically collided with the vehicle of the Ambrosios, seriously injuring himself and his 29-year-old unnamed female companion.

As you probably heard, 35-year-old Jullebee Ranara, a Filipina who had to move to Kuwait to make ends meet and support her family as a domestic worker, was brutally killed in 2023.

She was tortured, raped, and murdered. As if this grueling ordeal was not enough, Jullebee's heartless perpetrator even burnt her body, threw his victim in the desert, and ran her over with a vehicle.

Based on a report from Vice World News, there are over 268,000 Filipinos currently working in Kuwait, most of which consist of domestic workers. 

The Kafala system governs migrant workers in Kuwait, and various human rights group says that the Kafala system is a legal framework utilized in most Gulf states that authorizes employers to have full control over the legal status of migrant workers. 

Unfortunately, Jullebee Ranara's gruesome murder is not the first incident that happened to a Filipino in Kuwait. This recent incident appears to have caused a ton of frustration in how the Kuwaitis view less of Filipinos. It is unacceptable and should not be tolerated by the international community.

There have been infamous crimes in the Philippines that have happened during the holiday season.

A particular case that comes to mind is the heartless killing of mother-and-son Sonya and Frank Gregorio from Tarlac. Former policeman Jonel Nuezca had a verbal altercation with the Gregorios after the former policeman was arresting Frank for illegal possession of "Boga," an improvised noisemaker cannon. Sonya, his mother, came to her son's aid, and the altercation with Nuezca promptly escalated.

Nuezca ended up shooting both victims, and it became one of the most infamous crimes in 2020.

Three holiday seasons later, we noticed two separate peculiar cases that happened during the week of Christmas 2023 and New Year 2024.

What's bizarre about these cases was the gruesome nature that the two victims had gone through on separate occasions, where the culprits behind their killings beheaded the victims.

Given that these gruesome cases are similar, we decided to cover both crimes in one episode, a first of its kind in our show.

Violence in Philippine politics, especially in this modern era, has been a serious issue that has continued to hinder the country's path to political maturity, therefore raising more doubts about an ineffective justice system that is slow and, in other instances, can be bought by influential and powerful clans.

However, the subject of our episode today involves a troubled medical professional who went to great lengths to seek revenge.

On July 24, 2022, in what was supposed to be one of the most eventful occasions a family could have in their lifetime, former Lamitan City Mayor Rose Furigay was attending her daughter Hannah's law school graduation at Ateneo De Manila University.

Bypassing campus security was Dr. Chao-Tiao Yumol, who was armed with a .45-caliber pistol, managed to get close to his target and ended up killing the former mayor, her executive assistant, Victor George Capistrano, and a campus security guard, Jeneven Bandiala, who risked his life attempting to stop the assailant.

The former mayor's daughter, Hannah, was also shot but was able to survive.

Happy Halloween to all of you guys! It is the time of the year when most of us get to watch or listen to horror films, shows, and podcasts. 

Indeed, there is a lot of content out there to consume, and chances are you have probably stumbled upon this podcast because it's Halloween Season.

Let us tell you a horrific crime that happened in 2018. Some would say this is a lesser-known story, but to us, this case is by far one of the most gruesome stories that this show has covered.It involves murder, mutilation, and cannibalism. And you know what's the worst part? The horrific nature of this case truly happened in real life.

In March 2018, residents of Barangay Holy Spirit, Quezon City, informed authorities after witnessing 43-year-old Orlando Estrera, soaked in blood, throwing mutilated body parts out of their house.

Once the police arrived, they discovered that the victim was the suspect's wife, 46-year-old Heidi Estrera.

Orlando Estrera was promptly detained at the Quezon City jail, and what he told the authorities would probably not make you sleep at night.

On March 11, 2019. Christine Silawan, a 16-year-old high school student, was found dead in a vacant lot in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu. 

Half of her face was skinned to the skull, her body was stabbed twenty times, and she had signs of sexual assault. 

The gruesome nature that Christine Silawan endured from her killer sparked nationwide outrage, which led to various groups urging the government to reinstate the death penalty.

If you're on Spotify, we would like to know your thoughts on this in the polls.

We've seen that one iconic scene in horror movies before—the protagonist, either being chased or needing to hide, goes under their bed, trying their best to stay quiet as the killer roams around. Some survive, but some end up getting dragged away from under the bed... to their death. Fortunately for a Filipina nurse named Corazon Amurao, almost the exact scene happened to her in real life in 1966. She survived Chicago's most infamous mass murderer, Richard Speck.

Richard Sta. Ana, a father and loving husband, sought justice for his wife, Pearl, and their son, Baby Denzel, after two assailants brutally killed them by mercilessly bludgeoning their heads at their residence in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

As the investigators looked for answers, they surprisingly found out that the person behind the gruesome murder was someone they already knew from the start who was holding a grudge because of jealousy.

This case in 2016 might have been one of the most overlooked murder cases ever. 

A mother and her baby boy were gruesomely murdered on a typical afternoon inside their residence. It is not something we get to hear or read on the news on a daily basis.

Chop-chop body cases in the Philippines are one of the most discussed topics in true crime, especially here in the Philippines. 

Most fans of our show would send us episode requests through DMs and polls urging us to cover more chop-chop body cases. 

In fact, our episodes relating to body dismemberments, particularly the gruesome murders of Lyndon Masinsin in 2017 and Elsa Castillo in 1993, were among the most played episodes in our library. 

Now, another chop-chop lady case has caught our attention, and it happened recently.

On June 9, 2023, dismembered body parts, such as the head, arms, and legs of a woman, were found by scavengers under a bridge and in a ravine in Barangay Dela Paz, Antipolo City.

Subsequently, authorities found the victim's remaining body parts in a ravine in Barangay San Jose, 10 kilometers from where the victim was first seen.

Air disasters are one of the most heartbreaking tragedies that will always catch our attention. Probably you've heard of numerous of these cases, such as the infamous 9/11 terrorist attack on the US World Trade Center, the mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, and many others.

Such incidents make us wonder are there plane-related tragedies that have also happened in the Philippines?

Sadly, there is. 

On April 19, 2000, Air Philippines Flight 541 from Manila, bound for Davao City, crashed in a coconut plantation on Samal Island near the plane's destination. 

All 131 people on board, including passengers and the aircraft's seven-member crew, died, making this catastrophic incident by far the worst air disaster in the Philippines.

Our show usually features cases where the victim is already confirmed dead. While plenty of tragic cases still need to be told, a specific case caught our attention. 

The incident happened on November 1, 2018, in Atimonan, Quezon, where the victim, Roger Herrero, a pedicab driver from the town of Agdangan, was falsely accused of a crime he didn't commit.

Rogue policemen hunted down Roger, bringing him to a dark area in Atimonan, an hour away from Agdangan. From there, Roger was forced to admit to various robbery cases in his town, but the policemen ended up shooting him in the head. 

Roger, who was lying in a pool of his blood at the time, had to play dead till the rogue policemen left. Miraculously, the gunshot to his head wasn't fatal enough to kill him.

Baguio City is known for being the summer capital of the Philippines when thousands of visitors from the lowlands and Manila take their annual journey to the city to cool off.

However, little did we know that one of the most gruesome crimes in the country's special summer getaway would happen on August 15, 2018.

The body of 22-year-old Lindsay Valdez, a pawn shop cashier at 202 Cellfone Pawnshop, was found dead inside a vault room covered with her blood. 

Authorities also discovered that the victim's neck was slashed, and her face, arms, and legs were bound with packaging tape.

On November 22, 2000, Salvador "Bubby" Dacer, a prominent publicist to politicians, met with then-President Joseph Estrada, who was in the midst of an impeachment trial. The meeting was said to be about patching things up.

In context, Dacer was a former PR man of Estrada, but as soon as he left his post, he began criticizing the Estrada administration for alleged corruption. Two days after meeting Estrada, Dacer and his driver, Emmanuel Corbito, were abducted at an intersection in Makati City.

Months later, their bodies were found in a creek in Indang, Cavite, as the entire nation discovered the horrific nature of their deaths, known today as the infamous Dacer-Corbito Double Murder case.

On December 23, 2018, a woman's lifeless body, sealed with duct tape, was found wrapped in a black garbage bag inside a brown box in Baseco, Manila. 

Based on a tip from a Grab driver who witnessed the dumping of her body, authorities immediately uncovered the two male foreigners that had something to do with the young woman's killing.

The victim's name is Tomi Michelle Masters. She is a 23-year-old girl from Indiana, USA. Earlier, she arrived in the Philippines together with her boyfriend, Troy Woody and his friend Mir Islam. Both men are said to be American hackers with business ventures in the Philippines.

The perpetrator in the hijacking of Philippine Airlines Flight 812 that happened on May 25, 2000, using the name “Augusto Lakandula” as his alias, committing one of the most bizarre hijacking incidents in history, as some would say the Filipino version of D.B. Cooper.

For those who don’t know, D.B. Cooper is a criminal who, in 1971, hijacked a commercial plane traveling from Portland, Oregon, to Seattle, Washington, and later parachuted out of the aircraft with the ransom money. Up to this day, nobody knows the real identity behind D.B. Cooper or whether he’s still alive or not. He just mysteriously vanished.

There have been various instances across the globe in which a person had predicted their eventual death. 

A brief google search would show you that some notable celebrities and artists had also bizarrely predicted their demise, which in some cases were nerve-rackingly accurate.

Sadly, you will find the name of the late comedian and activist Arvin "Tado" Jimenez on the list of famous individuals who had foreshadowed their own death.

Before Tado's sudden demise, he posted two Instagram posts that were somewhat eerily captioned, which most people thought of it as a premonition to Tado's time on earth was running out.

On February 7, 2014, Tado was among the 14 people that died after the bus they rode bound for Bontoc, Mountain Province, fell into a ravine.

Today, March 24, is Tado's birthday.

The use and distribution of illegal substances have been an ongoing problem since drug cartels figured out how to grow their syndicates into multimillion-dollar empires.

Drug syndicates thrive on their customers’ addiction caused by narcotics, which has become a very dangerous cycle that doesn’t seem to end.

In a generation where rave parties have been a massive occurrence for social events, it is well-documented across the globe that many people, particularly teenagers and young adults, take party drugs while participating in rave parties.

But what happens if a person or group mistakenly consumes a party drug that an average human body couldn’t withstand?

An example of this happened during the 2016 Closeup Forever Summer Concert held at the Mall of Asia concert grounds with more than 15,000 people in attendance.

Tragically, five people who didn't know each other were reported to have bizarrely collapsed minutes apart at different venue areas.

As soon as the initial autopsy reports came out, the results shocked the entire nation, exposing drug-related personalities from privileged families with political connections that later turned on each other.

On November 18, 2009, one of the most controversial road rage incidents and manhunts of the 2000s happened in the Philippines.

The victim, in this case, was Renato Ebarle Jr., a son of a former presidential chief of Staff, Renato Ebarle Sr. He was shot and killed by Jason Ivler, a nephew of singer and songwriter Freddie Aguilar.

Witnesses saw the suspect go over to his victim's car and shoot him multiple times after a traffic altercation at the corner of Boni Serrano Street and Ortigas Avenue, Quezon City.

With various witnesses pinpointing Jason Ivler as the killer, he became one of the most wanted criminals at the time, in what others may argue was one of the most infamous manhunts in the Philippines.

Authorities and news outlets began their due diligence in figuring out who Jason Ivler was, and what they found out was shockingly outrageous.

Have you wondered why bad things happen to good people? It shatters our hearts when uncalled-for things happen to people with golden hearts.

In October 2016, Gerardo Maquidato Jr. was one of the driver awardees of Grab Philippines recognized for giving a courtesy ride to a sick passenger. His story went viral after the passenger's family posted about him on Facebook.

Divine Lactao Ornum booked a GrabCar for her sister, Prima, who was on her way to Quezon City to pick up blood bags for her dialysis.

Luckily, Maquidato was in the area and was less than a minute away. The model Grab driver picked up his passengers but did not ask for payment for the trip out of kindness.

Unfortunately, a year after winning the award, Maquidato became a victim of one of the most gruesome killings of a Grab driver in the Philippines.

Hostage-taking situations are one of the most discussed cases in the Philippines. After all, most of these kinds of incidents in the country conclude very badly and, in other instances, deadly.

The incident at the Taguig Hall of Justice in 2007 caught the entire country’s attention as a movie stuntman, and his common-law-wife held four people hostage for an entire day, ironically, inside a place where people expect justice.

Hostages were punched, kicked, and pistol-whipped; hostage-takers were seen looking for ways to escape, and the SWAT team’s operations were nationally-televised. Indeed, the incident was filled with drama, confusion, and twists.

Have you watched the hit horror movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose? If yes, have you ever wondered if someone from the Philippines has experienced the same thing or even worse?

Well, if you have, the story of Clarita Villanueva comes to mind. She was a 17-year-old orphan from Bacolod that moved to Manila in the early 1950s to work as a maid at first, but after eloping with a man who turned out to be married, Clarita left him and ended up working as a prostitute in hopes of improving her living situation.

One night, Clarita mistakenly offered sexual services to an undercover police officer. She was promptly arrested and detained at the 300-year-old Bilibid Prison in Manila, which had a lot of unpleasant memories, a place with a considerable amount of detainees who have suffered and died through the years.

Little did the people back then know that the Old Bilibid Prison would also be where the infamous demonic possession of Clarita Villanueva happened.

On July 15, 1997, Gianni Versace, one of the world's most respected and admired fashion icons, was on his usual early morning routine, getting coffee and magazines at his preferred cafe three blocks away from his posh mansion in Ocean Drive, Miami Beach, Florida.

Afterward, Gianni Versace went back home, and as soon as he reached the marbled front steps of his mansion, a dark-haired man wearing knee-length shorts, a gray tank top, a baseball cap, and a backpack came from behind and shot him twice.

The police identified the perpetrator to be Andrew Philip Cunanan. Prior to killing Gianni Versace, Cunanan was already on the FBI's Top Most Wanted list for the murders of four other victims in the past three months.

As soon as news reports came out on the shocking murder of Gianni Versace, it jolted the entire world. The world-renowned fashion icon's death set off a nationwide manhunt for Cunanan.

On January 18, 1961, one of the most infamous murders in the 1960s jolted the entire nation after news reports came out about a policeman who committed suicide after shooting his very own wife, daughter, and son-in-law.

This story features the Cabading family murders. It was a tragic case of a father's wrath that turned into a deadly rampage. Pablo Cabading, the father, persuaded Lydia, his daughter, and Leonardo Quitangon, his son-in-law, to stay and live at his residence on Zapote Street located in Makati, which was then part of Rizal province.

What seemed like adjusting to a father-in-law's eccentricities turned out to be more than that, as Pablo was a very difficult person to deal with. He refused to let his daughter and her husband live freely on their own, so to keep the family intact, blinded by rage, he ended up murdering his family.

On New Year's Eve of 2011, 35-year-old Reynaldo Dagsa, a Barangay councilman from Caloocan City, requested his family to wake him up before midnight to join in on the new year's festivities in the wonder of the fireworks around them.

He was taking pictures of his wife, daughter, and mother-in-law outside their home on New Year's Day when the gunman, Arnel Buenaflor, came from behind a car and cold-bloodedly shot Dagsa on his right forearm and chest.

What makes this case peculiar is that the victim was able to snap a photo of his family seconds before the suspect pulled the trigger on him.

​Every generation has had its own share of "It" girls. These icons were trendsetters when it came to fashion and lifestyle, and everyone who's anyone wanted to be like them; or even have just a whiff of their aura.

Their legacies stood the test of time. They would eventually be known for years, even decades beyond their lifetime.

During the 1950s in the Philippines, one such "It" girl was Elvira Manahan.

Elvira Manahan was a society and fashion icon in the Philippines whose reputation remains unrivaled to this day. All that came to an end the day she was murdered on October 14, 1986—leaving behind a legacy of glamour and mystery.

On September 19, 2014, during typhoon Mario's rampage in the Philippines, a 75-year-old woman was stabbed to death by her house helper after the latter was discovered stealing items inside her home.

The victim was Zenaida Sison, the mother of actress Cherry Pie Picache, who lived alone at her two-story house on Lazcano Street, Barangay Paligsahan, Quezon City.

Her killer's name is Michael Flores. He had been working for six months as a houseboy at Sison's residence.

On July 2, 1991, Eldon Maguan, a 25-year-old engineering student, was driving around Wilson Street in San Juan, Metro Manila. Wilson was said to be a one-way street, and Eldon knew about it as he was the one that followed traffic rules.

Unfortunately for Eldon, even those who profusely follow traffic regulations do not exempt them from being victims of violent crime.

It is where then-43-year-old Rolito Go, a construction magnate, comes into this tragic story. While Eldon was minding his own business and following the street's one-way rule for vehicles, Rolito was coming from the opposite direction.

As soon as both Eldon and Rolito's vehicles came head-to-head, this infuriated Rolito. He took out his gun, went out of his vehicle, came over to Eldon's car, and cold-bloodedly shot the innocent young man in the head.

In the wee hours of July 13, 1991, three young people, two boys, and one girl were on their way to bring their female friend home to her residence in Dasmariñas Village, Makati City.

Suddenly, the three encountered an angry middle-aged man that didn't seem to mind the business of others. He started snooping on the youngsters and began questioning them on why they were outside at that time of the day. This incident turned into a heated altercation.

Moments later, the middle-aged man shockingly pulled out his pistol and shot all three of them, which caused the lives of Roland John Chapman and Maureen Hultman. The other victim, Jussi Olavi Leino, was the sole survivor of this infamous case.

Authorities were able to find out the identity of the suspect after three witnesses came forward and described what they saw from that unfortunate day.

In January 1977, Primitivo “Tibo” Mijares, a journalist and former chief propagandist of the late dictator Ferdinand Marcos, suddenly disappeared.

Tibo left the Marcos regime in 1974 and went to the United States, where he had issued a defection statement, vowing to tell the lies and atrocities that the Marcoses had done during his time of service. From 1974 to 1977, the former Marcos confidant made headlines due to his prior knowledge regarding the devious wrong-doings that the Marcoses were currently practicing at the time.

Four months after Tibo's disappearance, his youngest son, 16-year-old Luis Manuel “Boyet” Mijares, was found dead in the mountains of Antipolo, Rizal. Nearby residents at the scene claimed that Boyet was thrown off from a military helicopter passing by the area.

On the evening of February 21, 1977, the Chicago Fire Department made a gruesome discovery after putting out a fire in an apartment downtown. 

A Filipino woman named Teresita Basa was found naked under a burning mattress with a knife plunged deep into her chest. 

In a bizarre turn of events, there were reports that Teresita’s spirit possessed a female colleague, which helped solve her murder. The detectives assigned to her case were perplexed by how she was able to help identify her killer.

One of the most gruesome murders towards an overseas Filipino worker happened in 2016 when authorities from Kuwait discovered the body of a missing Filipina placed in a freezer at an abandoned apartment. The gruesome discovery of her remains sent shockwaves across the overseas Filipino community. It caused public outrage back in the Philippines. 

Joanna Daniela Demafelis was a 29-year-old OFW who flew to Kuwait in 2014, hoping to find work and provide her family with a bright future. Unfortunately, she never made it back to the Philippines after encountering a ruthless husband and wife in Kuwait that heartlessly ended her life.

PH Murder Stories would like to dedicate this story to the millions of overseas Filipino workers discriminated against and treated as low-class citizens in other countries. "The dead cannot cry out for justice. It is a duty of the living to do so for them."

On May 11, 2021, 20-year-old British-Filipina Caroline Crouch was found dead in the attic of her own home in Glyka Nera, Greece, after her husband, 33-year-old Babis Anagnostopoulos, initially claimed that three men barged inside their home, tied him up, tortured, and killed his wife in front of their 11-month-old baby girl named Lydia, and stole £30,000 British pounds worth of cash and jewelry.

This case gained international attention due to an alleged robbing incident that included the heartless act of killing a woman in front of her family. It makes us wonder how three men who overpowered Caroline's family of three would need to kill her if they only planned to rob them?

Nevertheless, the incident alarmed the Greek police, who vowed to discover what truly happened to the young Filipina mother.

On May 31, 2002, a supposedly typical day at the Philtranco Pasay City Bus Terminal turned wicked when a drug-crazed man named Diomedes Talbo suddenly grabbed Dexter Balala, a four-year-old boy, and held him, hostage, with a 10-inch double-bladed knife pointed to his neck.

Coming from a two-week vacation in the province of Camarines Sur, the young boy was about to ride a bus with his mother, Salvacion Balala, going to Pampanga when the suspect grabbed him away and seized his custody.

We would like to thank Mr. Ben Hernandez for sharing with us the story behind his father's gruesome killing in 1994. Kuya Ben messaged us on Instagram last February 2021 and told us about the revelations he recently learned about his father's killing after reconnecting with his relatives in 2019. For more than two decades, Kuya Ben did not know much about his father's case. He only knew back then that his father was killed but was vastly unaware of the reasons and the people behind his horrific slaying.  On the evening of March 10, 1994, a tragedy struck Benedicto (Kuya Ben's father) when two men invaded his home and robbed him of his valuables. Unfortunately, the perpetrators weren't content with just stealing the victim's valuables. They ended up killing him.

On July 10, 2000, a mountain of rain-loosed garbage collapsed and turned into flames, burying a housing site in Barangay Payatas in Quezon City. The incident caused the death of as many as one thousand individuals and the destruction of about a hundred houses. 

According to official records, around 260 deaths were reported, and around 300 persons were missing, while 655 families were rendered homeless due to the incident. However, other sources insist that 705 people died in Payatas, and many first-hand accounts note the figure is far greater than the official count, perhaps closer to 1,000.

Shoutout to Ms. Vera Shaina Placides for reaching out to us through Instagram and our Facebook Group, PH Murder Stories: The Verdict. Thank you for suggesting this case and supporting our podcast!

On January 7, 2020, an alleged high-value drug dealer from Spain, and a surfer residing on the island of Siargao, was killed by authorities at his home amid an illegal drugs operation. The police claimed that they acted in self-defense after the suspect fired gunshots against the agents that were apprehending him. However, his family and friends from Spain suggest that a powerful politician was behind the killing. 

Diego Bello Lafuente was only 32-years-old when the police took away his life. He was a soccer player and a surfing enthusiast.

A large suitcase was found floating near North Harbor, Tondo, Manila, on August 16, 2007. After retrieving the suitcase, the witnesses opened a case that would later shock the entire country. They found the decomposing body of a young girl stuffed inside the bag. The authorities went through a rigorous challenge to positively identify the body as seven-year-old Geraldine Palma. She was reportedly abducted on August 11, 2007. 

In a confusing turn of events, Julieta Salvatierra, the mother of Jessalyn, another missing girl, came forward to the police and claimed that the body found inside the large suitcase was her daughter. The nature of this crime, as well as the confusion within the investigation, sparked public outrage on the police’s lack of assertiveness and the gruesome circumstances that Geraldine Palma went through.

In 2001, a Filipino-American actress was found dead with her skull bashed on the third floor of a 24-story apartment building. According to initial reports, she committed suicide by jumping from her penthouse on the 23rd floor of the Platinum 2000 apartment building along Annapolis Street in Greenhills, San Juan City. The victim's house-helper, who found the lifeless body, had revealed vital information that could make us all think that her employer's death might not be suicide.

The Olongapo Regional Trial Court Branch 74 convicted US Marine Lance Corporal Joseph Scott Pemberton guilty of homicide. He was sentenced to six to 12 years imprisonment, but the camp of slain transgender woman Jennifer Laude took it as a “bittersweet” ruling.

The court ruled that the killing of Laude amounted only to homicide and did not meet the standards for murder because Pemberton acted out of "passion and obfuscation."

Still, persecution lawyer Harry Roque disagreed, saying, "It is not right that these mitigating circumstances showed his bigotry towards a transgender woman and that the bigotry itself was the reason he killed her."

However, President Rodrigo Duterte exercised one of his special powers as a chief executive in the Philippines and shocked everyone when he granted the convicted killer an absolute pardon.

On October 12, 2014, a transgender woman was found naked and beaten to death on a restroom floor in a motel located in Olongapo City. Witnesses saw another transgender person accompany the victim, and a white male foreigner entered the Calzone Lodge the night before the body was found.

Jeffrey “Jennifer” Laude was a 26-year-old transgender woman who went under the nickname "Ganda," which means beautiful in Filipino.  She was described as a beautiful woman, not just by how she looked but how she was filled with joy and selflessness.
