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
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.

By Julie M. Aurelio, Nancy C. Carvajal , Philippine Daily Inquirer
READ THE COMPLETE REPORT AT : http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/252692/gruesome-find-in-2-cities-4-boxes-4-bodies
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.

The 2001 UST Murder
The UST Murder that Abolished the ROTC
On the morning of March 18, 2001, 19-year-old Mark Welson Chua's body was found floating in the Pasig river, three days after he was reported missing. He was wrapped in a carpet, hog-tied, with his hands, feet, and face covered with cloth and duct tape.
Mark was a sophomore Mechanical Engineering student who became known for exposing the corruption and bribery in the Reserve Officers Training Corps of the UST in the school's official newspaper. His murder triggered public outrage, and urged the country's lawmakers to pass the Republic Act 9163 or the NSTP (National Service Training Program) Law, which abolished the then-existing ROTC system and gave college students a choice between the ROTC, the Literacy Training Service (LTS), or the Civic Welfare Training Service as a precondition for graduation.

Two more bodies bearing torture marks were found in different places in Quezon City on Wednesday, bringing to five the number of dumped bodies recorded by the city police in the last three days alone, police records showed.
Police Office 1 Alvin Quisumbing of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit of the Quezon City Police District (QCPD-CIDU) identified the latest victims as Dereck Page, 25, of Moonstar St., Las Villas del Ciello Homes, Sunville Subdivision, Barangay (village) Culiat, Quezon City; and Gilbert Borja, 29, of No. 4 Ginintuang Landas St., Barangay Sta. Monica, Novaliches, also in Quezon City.
Quisumbing said the body of Page with multiple stab wounds was discovered by a gardener around 8 a.m. at a vacant lot not far from where he lived.
Page’s wife, Maria Cristina, told police she last saw and talked to her husband at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, when he went out of the house to gather condiments for the food they were cooking for dinner.
However, she said Page never returned since then.
Meanwhile, PO3 Gregorio Maramag said Borja was found dead at around 1:10 a.m. on Wednesday, at the corner of Ginintuang Landas and Tatlong Hari Streets in Barangay Sta. Monica.
Maramag said the victim’s body bore torture marks and had a gunshot wound in the back and multiple stab wounds in the right side of his body.
Three bodies bearing torture marks and signs of summary execution were found earlier in separate areas in Quezon City.
Inspector Elmer Monsalve, chief of the homicide investigation of the Quezon City Police District (QCPD), expressed alarm over the discovery of several bodies in the space of a few days.
Monsalve said they were still establishing the motive for the killings but initial investigation showed the killings could be part of an ongoing “gang war.’’

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.

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

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.

Victims' Faces Wrapped with Packaging Tape
By Jeannette Andrade, Philippine Daily Inquirer, 03/23/2011
http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/breakingnews/metro/view/20110323-327083/2-bodies-dumped-in-Manila
Two bodies, both believed to be victims of summary execution, were found early Tuesday within an hour of each other in the Sampaloc area of Manila.
Manila Police District homicide section investigators described one of the bodies as between 40 and 50 years old, five-foot-four inches tall, slim, dark-skinned, wearing a white sleeveless shirt and black slacks.
The other was described as between 35 and 40 years old, five-foot tall, dark-skinned, slim, with a mole on the left side of his face above his upper lip. He was clad in a white collared shirt and denim pants, and had packaging tape covering his face.
Both bodies bore ligature marks around their necks.
At around 4:15 a.m. Tuesday, the first body was found along Antipolo Street, Barangay 543 Zone 54.
Police Officer 1 Michael Pavon, of the MPD homicide section, said that before the body was dumped, a resident in the area saw five or more persons hurriedly unload onto the street an unconscious man from a tricycle. Pavon pointed out that once the body was abandoned on the pavement, the group hurriedly left aboard the tricycle and a motorcycle. (NOTE: This is one of the few times that there were witnesses during the body dump and indicates that these acts are done by a group.)
The witness, out of curiosity, approached the body and immediately sought the assistance of village officials.
Pavon said that aside from the ligature mark, the victim also had a cut on his left eyebrow and bruises on his eyes.
The second body was discovered at 5 a.m. at the corner of Laong Laan and Asturias streets, Barangay 471 Zone 46 by village watchman Josefino Santiago.
Senior Police Officer 2 Edmundo Cabal, case investigator, said that Santiago initially thought that the man lying face down on the pavement had fainted due to drunkenness. But when he turned over the man, he discovered that his face had been covered with packaging tape and was dead. The barangay tanod immediately reported his find to the police.
Cabal noted a ligature mark around the victim’s neck, similar to the first body.
Homicide investigators theorized that both killings could have been perpetrated by the same group.
Both bodies were brought to the St. Harold funeral parlor homes for autopsy and safekeeping while homicide section operatives conduct follow-up operations for the identification of the slain men as well as the arrest of their killers.

Two men executed in Quiapo
The other, Macaraeg said, was between 30 and 40 years old, five-foot-one tall, and clad in a white shirt and white printed short pants. He had his face wrapped in packing tape.
Macaraeg said both men had their hands tied behind their backs and their feet bound with nylon cord. Oddly, Macaraeg pointed out, the bodies were piled up in the shape of a cross, with the victim in his 20s lying across the other man’s body.
“One had bullet wounds in the face and in the back, while the other had a gunshot wound in the stomach and had a contusion on the forehead,” Macaraeg said, adding both were shot with a .45-caliber pistol.
Police Officer 3 Giovanni Valera, case investigator, said that a witness reported hearing four shot and when he looked out of his window he saw a gray sedan and two scooters speeding away from their neighborhood toward the direction of Claro M. Recto Avenue.

another suicide in SM Fairview
Oct 18, 2010 : this tweet was posted on the Philippine Daily Inquirer's Twitter feed. There were other people who posted similar reports and others claimed to have witness the incident.
And here's the Inquirer's report:
| MANILA, Philippines—A 19-year-old student killed himself inside a mall in Fairview, Quezon City, on Sunday afternoon following an argument with his girlfriend.Case investigator PO1 Hermogenes Capili of the Quezon City Police District’s Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit identified the victim as Richard Fernando, a student of Fatima University. Fernando, a resident of Lagro Subdivision in Barangay Greater Lagro, sustained serious head injuries when he jumped from the second floor of the mall at around 3:10 p.m. Witnesses told the police that the teenager had climbed over the railings near the cinema and food court area before he jumped. Capili said Fernando was rushed to Far Eastern University Hospital but he died of his injuries nearly two hours later. The victim’s father told the police that his son may have killed himself over relationship problems. The police noted that a check of the victim’s cell phone showed that Fernando had been fighting with his girlfriend before he took his life. |
If this person did jump to his death, this would be the second or third time a person has decided to commit suicide in this particular mall.

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.
