MANILA, Philippines -- Two villages in Quezon City were jolted Thursday morning with the discovery of two human heads and a mutilated dead baby.

Superintendent Franklin Moises Mabanag, chief of Quezon City Police District’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit (QCPD-CIDU), said the two heads were found by scavengers floating along a creek in Sitio (sub-village) West Riverside, Barangay (village) San Antonio at around 9:30 a.m.

Quoting witnesses, Mabanag said the heads were already bloated and in the early stages of decomposition.

He said they believe the heads belonged to members of a drug syndicate who may have been killed by their gangmates.


At about the same time, the body of a baby boy was discovered at a tricycle terminal on H. Francisco Street corner Morato Road, Barangay Damayan.

Driver Hermilando Balalad Jr. said he found a plastic bag inside a tricycle as he was parking his vehicle at the terminal.

Curious about its contents, he said he opened the bag and was shocked to see the dead baby estimated to be about seven months old.

Balalad said the baby had a long open wound on his chest.

“It was likely that the baby boy’s chest was cut open. But we’re not sure if his internal organs were gone,” said village chairman Gualberto Casaje.
