Eight victims in one month
By Julie M. Aurelio, Philippine Daily Inquirer, August 21st, 2012
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/255056/2-more-salvage-victims-in-qc-8-bodies-just-this-month
The bodies of two more men believed to be summary execution victims were discovered by the side of a road in Quezon City Tuesday morning.
The find brought to eight the number of “salvage” victims found in the city so far for this month. All of them died of strangulation and none of them has been identified.
Inspector Elmer Monsalve, homicide section chief of the Quezon City Police District, said that they were still checking their records to see if any of the eight was in their files of known criminals.
According to case investigator Police Officer 2 Alvin Quisumbing, the bodies of the two men were found around 6 a.m. in front of a bakeshop near the corner of Blumentritt Extension and Sampaguita Street in La Loma district, Quezon City.
Both bore rope marks around the neck, a sign that they were strangled.
A resident reported the grisly find to barangay officials who sent two watchmen to verify the information.
One of the victims was described as between 40 and 45 years old, of medium build, with fair skin and a tattoo which read “Jhun-jhun” on his right arm. He was dressed in a black shirt and a pair of blue shorts.
The other man was about the same age, around 5’3” in height, of medium build and with fair complexion. He wore a white shirt and cargo shorts.
Police said the residents did not notice any commotion or see suspicious-looking persons at the crime scene before the bodies were found.
Quisumbing added that the area where the men were dumped was dark.
The first salvage victim for this month, a man, was found on Aug. 4, on the North Diversion Road in Barangay Unang Sigaw.
The following morning, two more men were discovered separately stuffed inside two balikbayan boxes in Barangay Masambong and Sto. Domingo. Last Friday, a man’s body was found on the East Service Road in Barangay Unang Sigaw.
The next day, the bodies of a man and a woman were also discovered in two balikbayan boxes on San Jose Street in Barangay San Antonio.

Five victims of summary execution were discovered in three separate areas in Metro Manila on Saturday.
The bodies of the first two female victims were found inside two balikbayan boxes abandoned along Blumentritt in Manila. The boxes were about 100 to 200 meters away from each other.
Police said one of the victims was about 45 to 50 years old and the other one was between 50 to 55 years old.
Authorities said the unidentified victims bore signs that they were strangled to death.
Witnesses said a white L-300 van was seen in the area before the balikbayan boxes were discovered.
In Balintawak, the body of a male victim was discovered around 4 a.m. along the East Service Road of the North Luzon Expressway in Barangay Unang Sigaw.
Two hours later, two more balikbayan boxes were abandoned along Lincoln Street in Barangay San Antonio in Quezon City. The words “Budol Ako” was found written on the boxes.
The boxes contained the bodies of a male and a female described to be around 35 to 40 years old. They were also strangled.
Police believe the three incidents are connected as “budol money” was found on the unidentified victims and the manner of death was also the same.

Man found strangled with nails driven into head
Just found this crime report from November 2011, where, supposedly six victims were found who were all killed in the same manner: they all had strangulation marks and had three nails hammered into their heads. Police said the crimes were all gang-related.
Man found strangled with nails driven into head
By Julie M. Aurelio, Philippine Daily Inquirer November 12th, 2011 http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/92819/man-found-strangled-with-nails-driven-into-head
The Quezon City Police District is investigating the death of a man who was found dead early Saturday, apparently strangled to death and with at least three nails driven into his head.
Police said it was the sixth such case so far this year in Quezon City.
Inspector Elmer Monsalve, homicide section chief of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit, said the still unidentified victim was found at around 5 a.m. Saturday on the pavement on Mindanao Extension Avenue in Greater Lagro.
He described the man as around 4 feet 7 inches in height, of medium build, with curly hair and a “Jeffrey” tattoo on his left arm.
A passerby, Jonel Nasam, was the one who discovered the naked body.
Monsalve said this was the sixth case this year showing the same style of execution.
Monsalve said the victim might have died as a result of gang-related violence as the previous victims were found to have affiliations with street gangs.
The body bore ligature marks on the neck, indicating strangulating, and had three nails sticking out of the head.

Philippine Daily Inquirer, Jamie Marie Elona, INQUIRER.nethttp://newsinfo.inquirer.net/253312/mans-body-found-dumped-on-roadside-in-manila
Policemen are looking into the death of a 22-year-old man who was found with ligature marks on his neck, his body placed inside a sack and dumped on the side of the road in Manila before dawn Sunday.
The victim who was later identified as Erbin Liwanag was found on Tayuman corner J. Luna streets in front of a supermarket in Tondo, Manila, around 3:30 a.m., Senior Police Officer 1 Charles John Duran of the Manila Police District’s homicide division said.
Duran said the victim, who had the names Caloy,
Erwin and Gary tattoed on his foot and back, was clad in a pair of gray shorts.
A closer examination revealed ligature marks on his neck and blood coming out of his nose, the investigator added.
“A certain ‘Aida,’ who refused to give her full identity, gave some information about the deceased but no one could give a good account of the incident,” Duran said.
The body was taken to a funeral home for autopsy.

Gruesome finds came in four boxes in two cities early Saturday.
The bodies of two women stuffed in separate boxes were found a few meters from each other in a neighborhood in Manila, while a man and a woman also placed in boxes were found dead in a garbage pile in Quezon City.
In Manila, the boxes were found on Blumentritt Street, Sampaloc, at around 12:30 a.m., according to the head of the city police homicide section, Chief Insp. Joselito de Ocampo.
Ocampo identified one of the victims as Vita Bautista, 54, a buy-and-sell businesswoman from Bocaue, Bulacan province.
She was last seen alive by her daughter Jacqueline at around 3 p.m. Friday before she left their house to meet a friend on Tomas Morato, Quezon City, the officer said, quoting the victim’s relatives.
The other slain woman found in Manila remained unidentified as of late Saturday. She was described to be between 45 and 50 years old, with short hair and fair complexion.
Both victims appeared to have been strangled, Ocampo said.
In Quezon City, a seemingly related discovery was made on San Jose Street in Barangay (village) San Antonio at around 6 a.m. Saturday.
The bodies of a man and a woman believed to be victims of summary execution were found also stuffed in boxes dumped on a pile of trash. They remained unidentified and, like those found in Manila, bore strangling marks.
Masambong police station commander Supt. Pedro Sanchez said the two bodies were bound with nylon rope.
Wads of newspaper cutouts were also found in the victims’ pockets and the box containing the woman’s body had a piece of paper with the word “budol” written on it, Sanchez noted.
The woman was described to be between 35 and 40 years old, 5’1” in height, fair-skinned and wearing a red blazer, black shirt and striped shorts.
The man was about the same age, 5’3”, fair-skinned and wearing a white shirt with blue stripes, jeans and white rubber shoes.
Case investigator SPO1 Joselito Gagaza said a resident noticed a white van parked in front of the garbage pile about four hours before the discovery of the bodies.
The resident initially thought that the van’s occupants were just throwing away their trash, Gagaza said. But this resident got curious and reported the sighting to barangay officials, the investigator added.
On Aug. 5, the bodies of two men were also found stuffed inside boxes in Barangay Masambong and Sto. Domingo, also in Quezon City.

An Execution in San Juan
Report by : Kristine Felisse Mangunay
Two dead bodies found by barangay patrol
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/100977/metrobriefs-127
Patrolling officials of Barangay Maytunas in San Juan City found two dead bodies in a dimly lit area Saturday night. Senior Supt. Rainier Espina, San Juan chief of police, said both victims, possibly in their early and mid-30s, were handcuffed and blindfolded with a masking tape.
Espina said there were details in the scene that seem to indicate whoever killed the men did not want police to have a difficult time in conducting their investigation.
He said three bullet shells that were found in the scene had been placed on the stomach of the younger victim. The shells were from a .45 cal. revolver, Espina said, and seemed to be consistent with the bullet wounds found in the forehead of the elder victim, and the right and left temples of the younger one.

Drug Pusher Executed
Apparent victims of summary execution found in Manila
By Jeannette I. Andrade, Philippine Daily Inquirer, July 28th, 2011
MANILA, Philippines—The bodies of a man and a woman, believed to be victims of summary execution, were discovered five minutes apart early Thursday in Manila’s San Andres Bukid district.
Both bodies bore strangulation marks, had their hands bound and packaging tape wound around their faces.
Placed on the male victim’s body was a sign, wrapped in a clear plastic bag, which read: “Pusher ako. Magnanakaw din ako (I am a drug pusher. I am also a thief).”
Police Officer 3 Giovanni Valera of the Manila Police District homicide section described the male victim to be between 45 and 50 years old, five-foot-four inches tall, fair-skinned, of medium build, and clad in a white sleeveless shirt and gray sweater and camouflage pants.
The woman was also between 45 and 50 years old, five-foot-one inch tall, fair-skinned, and clad in a dark blue shirt and checkered pants.
Neither of the bodies, he pointed out, bore a tattoo mark and they were found separately at Barangay (village) 807 Zone 87 in San Andres Bukid.
Valera said that the first body to be discovered was that of the woman, who was found at around 1:05 a.m. lying on the gutter of a sidewalk along Perlita Street near Dagonoy Street.
Neighborhood watch member Salvador Lligarco was conducting a routine patrol along Perlita Street when he stumbled onto the body and immediately reported his find to the police.
Five minutes later, 37-year-old vendor Ruben Mingote was about to go to sleep on the sidewalk on Sergio Osmena Highway when his pet dog started barking and growling and would not stop.
When Mingote decided to investigate, he found the man’s body dumped on the gutter along the highway near Zobel Roxas Street. He immediately sought the help of roving policemen.
Valera said that both bodies were possibly killed and dumped in the area by the same perpetrators, judging from the manner the victims were executed.
He pointed out that the woman could have been collateral damage with the male victim the suspects’ primary target. The case investigator stressed that the woman could have simply been at the wrong place, at the wrong time.
The bodies were taken to the St. Harold funeral parlor for autopsy.
2 bodies found in San Andres
By Nestor Etoll, The Philippine Star, July 29, 2011
MANILA, Philippines - The bodies of a man and a woman, believed to have been executed, were discovered a few feet apart on a sidewalk in San Andres, Manila at past midnight yesterday.
Police described the two victims as in their late 40s, the man wearing a pair of camouflage pants and a white undershirt beneath a gray sweater, while the woman was clad in checkered short pants and a dark blue t-shirt.
Their faces were wrapped in packaging tape and their hands were tied. A plastic bag was placed atop the man’s body with a message in Filipino: “I am a (drug) pusher and robber.”
Initial investigation showed the bodies bore bruises all over. “These victims could have been suffocated to death,” an investigator said.
A couple told police they were roused from sleep by a dog barking and when they looked around, they saw the body of a man lying on the sidewalk along Osmeña Highway near its intersection with Zobel Roxas street in San Andres.
They also discovered the woman’s body several feet away. No one in the area could identify the victims. Police believe the victims could have been killed elsewhere and their bodies dumped in the area to mislead investigators.

Inquirer report on woman burned in motel

| Photo by Jenny Reyes, ABS-CBN News |
By Niña Calleja, Philippine Daily Inquirer, July 20th, 2011
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/26689/man-charged-for-killing-gro-in-pasig-motel-room
The man accused of killing and burning the body of a woman inside a motel in Pasig City was charged on Wednesday with murder and arson at the city prosecutor’s office.
Case investigator Senior Police Officer 2 Rogelio Baltazar said Raymond Camarse, 44, a resident of Quezon City, was arrested after he was caught fleeing from the crime scene.
His victim was identified as Regine Fernandez, a 20-year-old guest relations officer at a hotel in Cebu City.
Her body was found inside a room in Country Lodge at around 2 p.m. on Tuesday. It was under a pile of burning clothes, a pair of sandals, parts of a wooden chair and glass shards.
The policeman said the victim had been stabbed to death.
“The fire was done to cover up the crime. Had the suspect fled undetected, the identity of the victim would still be unknown up to now,” Baltazar added.
Before the victim’s burnt body was discovered, the suspect was spotted hurriedly leaving the motel room and trying to start his car.
Sensing that something was wrong, an employee of the motel blocked his way with a movable metal fence.
The suspect, however, forced his way out of the motel on board his car but members of the barangay (village) security force and policemen who were alerted by suspicious motel staffers apprehended him just a few meters away from the entrance.
They found in the back seat of his vehicle the kitchen knife allegedly used in the killing as well as the victim’s identification cards.
As of Wednesday afternoon, no one has claimed the victim’s body, the police said.
The suspect, on the other hand, remains detained at the Pasig police headquarters.
Baltazar said the suspect told him that the victim was his mistress and that he had tried to break up with her.
Earlier reports, however, said that the woman was killed because she wanted out of the relationship.
Here's a link to the first reports about the crime from ABS-CBN and GMA News:
http://metrocrimescene.blogspot.com/2011/07/woman-murdered-burned-inside-motel.html
Which makes me wonder: was this murder premeditated? Based on this report, it does sound like the suspect panicked and used whatever was at the scene to commit the crime. (Although, I still wonder where he got the kerosene.) The suspect panicked and was supposedly seen hurrying out of the motel and that's why the staff got suspicious on his actions.
Could this suspect be the same person who committed these crimes back in 2008:

The killer sat behind bars in the Tabuelan municipal jail and said he didn’t regret killing his 6-year-old niece and acting like a cannibal.
Efren Matedios, 29, who was arrested at home yesterday, said he was only “helping” the little girl by stopping her from changing into a “manananggal,” a winged figure in Filipino folklore who is half-human and half-monster.
Elestrio hacked and disembowel Lara Mae Concodes last Monday night.
Prior to the crime, he wanted to sleep beside his niece but his mother objected prompting him to maul her.
She escaped and sought for help but when she arrived with some of the roving tanods, she saw him eating a portion of her granddaughter’s internal organ.
They saw Lara’s naked body lying on the floor while her internal organs were placed in a plate and drizzled with salt.
Matedios was naked when police tracked him down in his house in barangay Villahermosa, about 12 kilometers from the town proper.
The death of 6-year-old Lara Mae Concodes, who was stabbed, stripped naked and her internal organs removed and eaten by her uncle on Monday, has horrified the rural town in north Cebu.
Police brought the uncle to a hospital, where doctors will try to find out whether the act of cannibalism is a sign of mental derangement.
“A good man with no vices,” was how some neighbors and relatives described Matedios.
Barangay captain Marian Donasco told Cebu Daily News that they were shocked by the crime because Matedios was a doting uncle.
“He really loved his niece. Until now we are shocked about what happened. We can’t believe Efren did it,” she said.
Matedios told Cebu Daily News he put salt in the girl’s internal organs to kill her immediately because he saw on television once that this was how to kill a “mananaggal.”
He denied he was on drugs or a member of a demonic cult.
The man told police he used a broken jalousie blade to disembowel the girl and ignored her cries.
He said he left the blade under a rock in a cave, but police went to the site, going as deep as 25 feet, without finding it.
The victim’s mother Elizabeth, 28, said that she thinks her only brother is unbalanced and dangerous, but can’t abandon him.
“Wala man ko pinalabi pero pinangga man pud gud ko sa akong manoy,” she said.
And nobody else will help him, she told CDN outside the jail.
Elizabeth brought him flood and clothes but kept her distance.
“I’m afraid he might do something,” she said but said she pitied him.
Elizabeth said that after Monday’s brutal killing she wanted her brother killed but realized later she’s the only family member who can help him.
She said she would leave the fight for justice up to law enforcers and God.
Elizabeth separated from her husband, Lito, a few years ago.
She lived with her grandmother, Pablita and Efren together with her second son, Kent Gabriel, 8. Another 10-year-old son stays with the father in Camotes Island.
Lito was at the funeral wake yesterday.
SPO3 Christopher Sanchez, deputy chief of Tabuelan police station said a murder charge would be filed today.
He said police found one witness who can testify that the uncle ate the little girl’s internal organs.
Lara Mae will be buried at 2 p.m. Today in Tabuelan.
UPDATE : Witness says Matedios was cursed by a witch in their neighborhood

Barangay Villahermosa councilor Paz Agsoy told Cebu Daily News that neighbors are scared after Efren, whom they described as “a good man with no vices,” admitted he killed and ate the liver of his niece.
Agsoy said that after Lara Mae’s death, a black bat was seen flying over the barangay. Efren was heard telling the bat, “I know who you are. You are the owner of the caimito that I ate.”
Agsoy said that neighbors believe the mayhem began when when Matedios and some neighbors went to fix a tomb a few weeks ago.
On their way to the graveyard they passed by a house whose owner was a reputed witch.
Efren and the others bought some starapple fruit from the lady for a small amount, but Efren happened to step on an orchid, angering the old lady of the house.
Agsoy, recalling Efren’s account, said the lady exclaimed: “Don’t step on that, my boy. You have paid me too little for what you ate.”
Agsoy said old folks in the town proper said that if a human is recruited to become an “ungo” they are required to eat a human being or else be struck by disease.
Neighbors believe Efren was recruited to become an “ungo,” she said.
“Our elders said that the ungo tends to recruit people who are good or don’t like to say bad words,” she said.
Prior to the arrest of Efren, Agsoy said they heard a bang on the roof as if a chicken fell but saw Efren a few moments later naked and with scratches all over his body.

The Girl Who Could Predict Fires
The Inquirer filed a report about a three year old girl who can supposedly predict fires, but if you read the report it sounds more like that the girl is a pyrokinetic.
The little girl will mention an object within her eyesight and say that it will be on fire. In the example given, she saw a pillow and said, "Pillow... fire" and the pillow started to burn.
So, she wasn't really predicting the fire, but she was willing it to happen.
The report mentioned several eyewitnesses, which even includes the town mayor.
UPDATE: GMA News report about the girl who can predict fires
http://www.gmanews.tv/story/214371/report-3-year-old-girl-in-antique-attracts-attention-for-predicting-fires
The father recalled an incident when he took his wife and daughter into the town proper to buy soda last month.
As he was alighting from his tricycle, his daughter reportedly said, “may sunog alas nuebe (there will be fire at nine o’clock)."
He ignored his daughter's comment at first but was surprised to see the spare tire of his tricycle on fire shortly after 9:00 a.m. that day, the report said.
HERE'S THE REPORT FROM THE INQUIRER: http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/inquirerheadlines/regions/view/20110309-324430/Fire-seer-draws-hundreds-to-Antique-village
Fire ‘seer’ draws hundreds to Antique village
By Nestor P. Burgos Jr.
Inquirer Visayas, 03/09/2011
ILOILO CITY, Philippines—Hundreds of people are flocking to a small village in Antique to ogle over a 3-year-old girl who has been spinning the village’s rumor mill fast over her supposed supernatural power to predict fires.
Authorities and villagers, who claimed to have witnessed the girl’s power firsthand, swore to seeing clothes, sleeping mats, pillows and paper burn inside the girl’s home just after the girl predicted these things would burn.
Among the “believers” were San Jose Mayor Rony Molina and Chief Insp. Gilbert Gorero, town police chief, who said they witnessed things burn inside the girl’s home just after the girl said they would.
Mayor Molina said he was just one of the hundreds of curious people who checked what he said was a phenomenon inside the girl’s home. He said he saw a pillow burn just after the girl said “fire ... pillow.”
“I can’t explain it. I’m a town mayor and I don’t easily believe in this kind of things, but I saw it,” he said.
Police officer Gorero said he saw a biscuit burn on its edges without anyone touching it. “I did not believe it at first. Why would I? But we came to investigate after many people came to the girl’s house,” he said.
He said he saw five objects suddenly catch fire or smolder without anyone touching them.
“We have been trying to come out with a logical explanation but so far we have not found any,” the police officer said.
Molina has ordered policemen and village watchmen to monitor the girl’s house as throngs of people have started gathering there.
A fire truck was put on standby. Mayor Molina said authorities wanted to help the girl’s family get medical tests for the girl. The girl’s parents—a tricycle driver and jobless woman—might need counseling, too, because they have been losing sleep since the girl became an object of curiosity.
“They want peace and privacy but people will keep on coming until we can explain what’s happening,” said Molina.

Two Severed Heads Found
an Inquirer report from 2008
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.
“Members of illegal drugs syndicate are known to kill their members in such ghastly ways,” he told the Philippine Daily Inquirer (parent company of INQUIRER.net).
Mabanag said they invited a woman who had gone to their office Wednesday night to file a blotter entry about her husband and their friend, who went missing after they were allegedly abducted by unidentified men in Quiapo, Manila a week ago.

Batang City Jail gang members executed
Heavily tattooed men found dead in Quiapo
By Jeannette Andrade, Philippine Daily Inquirer 08/03/2010
MANILA, Philippines—The bodies of two heavily tattooed gang members, believed to be victims of summary execution, were discovered early Tuesday, after they were dumped under a bridge in Quiapo, Manila.
Both members of the Batang City Jail had been strangled to death before they were dumped.
Police Officer 3 Jay Santos of the Manila Police District (MPD) homicide section identified the victims as Jimmy Reyes, 31, of Oroquieta Street in Sta. Cruz; and an alias “Ivan,” whom he described to be between 30 and 40 years old, with his hair dyed. Both men bore tattoos all over their bodies and were half-naked.
Santos said that their bodies were discovered by a street sweeper at around 4:30 a.m. on Tuesday, near a shop under the Quezon Bridge in Quiapo.
The case investigator revealed that street sweeper Noel De Castro, of the Leonel Waste Management Incorporated, was cleaning the streets near a handicraft store under the bridge when he stumbled onto the bodies which were slumped on the concrete pavement.
He immediately sought police assistance from the MPD Sta. Cruz Station 3 Barbosa outpost.
Santos observed ligature marks around the necks of the bodies showing that they were strangled to death. The bodies were brought to the St. Yvan funeral parlor for autopsy and safekeeping.
Homicide investigators are conducting follow-up operations to determine the motive and to identify the killers.

http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/metro/view/20100526-272220/Womans-body-fished-out-of-Pasig
A decomposing body of a woman was fished out of the Pasig River after it was discovered by passengers on board a ferry boat Wednesday morning in Manila.
