PH Murder Stories

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.

Maria Subdivision, Barangay Balibago, Angeles City, Pampanga. Autopsy reports indicate the suspect ruthlessly shot her in the back of the head. She was only 33 years old at the time of her gruesome death. Tania Camille Dee was reported missing on June 21, 2015.

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.CONNECT WITH US ▸ msha.ke/phmurderstories Here are links to our social media accounts, case photos, episode notes, and sources!

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.

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 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. WEBSITE ▸ https://phmurderstories.com Episode notes and sources are found here!

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."  WEBSITE ▸ https://phmurderstories.com YOUTUBE ▸ https://bit.ly/3sm11n4 SOCIALS ▸ Facebook — https://bit.ly/33xXEAm ▸ Facebook Discussion Group — https://bit.ly/3lbKGOS ▸ Instagram — https://bit.ly/33BL03r ▸ Tiktok — https://bit.ly/2F4a8pY ▸ Twitter — https://bit.ly/3no4jFq ▸ Telegram Channel — https://t.me/phmurderstories SUPPORT US ON PATREON ▸ https://bit.ly/3iNyiD0 AFFILIATE LINKS ▸ Lazada — https://bit.ly/3zQ68kk ▸ Shopee — https://bit.ly/3zIZ7Bv Make sure to use these links before filling up your carts to support the PH Murder Stories team!

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.  WEBSITE ▸ https://phmurderstories.com YOUTUBE ▸ https://bit.ly/3sm11n4 SOCIALS ▸ Facebook — https://bit.ly/33xXEAm ▸ Facebook Discussion Group — https://bit.ly/3lbKGOS ▸ Instagram — https://bit.ly/33BL03r ▸ Tiktok — https://bit.ly/2F4a8pY ▸ Twitter — https://bit.ly/3no4jFq ▸ Telegram Channel — https://t.me/phmurderstories SUPPORT US ON PATREON ▸ https://bit.ly/3iNyiD0 AFFILIATE LINKS ▸ Lazada — https://bit.ly/3zQ68kk ▸ Shopee — https://bit.ly/3zIZ7Bv Make sure to use these links before filling up your carts to support the PH Murder Stories team!

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.  WEBSITE ▸ https://phmurderstories.com PODCAST ▸ Spotify — https://spoti.fi/3iz2YI3 ▸ Apple — https://apple.co/2GmarNN YOUTUBE ▸ PH Murder Stories  — https://bit.ly/3sm11n4 SOCIALS ▸ Facebook — https://bit.ly/33xXEAm ▸ Instagram — https://bit.ly/33BL03r ▸ Tiktok — https://bit.ly/2F4a8pY ▸ Twitter — https://bit.ly/3no4jFq SUPPORT US ON PATREON ▸ https://bit.ly/3iNyiD0 FB DISCUSSION GROUP ▸ https://bit.ly/3lbKGOS For inquiries, email us: phmurderstories@gmail.com

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.  WEBSITE ▸ https://phmurderstories.com PODCAST ▸ Spotify — https://spoti.fi/3iz2YI3 ▸ Apple — https://apple.co/2GmarNN YOUTUBE ▸ PH Murder Stories  — https://bit.ly/3sm11n4 SOCIALS ▸ Facebook — https://bit.ly/33xXEAm ▸ Instagram — https://bit.ly/33BL03r ▸ Tiktok — https://bit.ly/2F4a8pY ▸ Twitter — https://bit.ly/3no4jFq SUPPORT US ON PATREON ▸ https://bit.ly/3iNyiD0 FB DISCUSSION GROUP ▸ https://bit.ly/3lbKGOS For inquiries, email us: phmurderstories@gmail.com

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.  WEBSITE ▸ https://phmurderstories.com PODCAST ▸ Spotify — https://spoti.fi/3iz2YI3 ▸ Apple — https://apple.co/2GmarNN YOUTUBE ▸ PH Murder Stories  — https://bit.ly/3sm11n4 SOCIALS ▸ Facebook — https://bit.ly/33xXEAm ▸ Instagram — https://bit.ly/33BL03r ▸ Tiktok — https://bit.ly/2F4a8pY ▸ Twitter — https://bit.ly/3no4jFq SUPPORT US ON PATREON ▸ https://bit.ly/3iNyiD0 FB DISCUSSION GROUP ▸ https://bit.ly/3lbKGOS For inquiries, email us: phmurderstories@gmail.com

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.  WEBSITE ▸ https://phmurderstories.com PODCAST ▸ Spotify — https://spoti.fi/3iz2YI3 ▸ Apple — https://apple.co/2GmarNN YOUTUBE ▸ PH Murder Stories  — https://bit.ly/3sm11n4 SOCIALS ▸ Facebook — https://bit.ly/33xXEAm ▸ Instagram — https://bit.ly/33BL03r ▸ Tiktok — https://bit.ly/2F4a8pY ▸ Twitter — https://bit.ly/3no4jFq SUPPORT US ON PATREON ▸ https://bit.ly/3iNyiD0 FB DISCUSSION GROUP ▸ https://bit.ly/3lbKGOS For inquiries, email us: phmurderstories@gmail.com

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.  WEBSITE ▸ https://phmurderstories.com PODCAST ▸ Spotify — https://spoti.fi/3iz2YI3 ▸ Apple — https://apple.co/2GmarNN YOUTUBE ▸ PH Murder Stories  — https://bit.ly/3sm11n4 SOCIALS ▸ Facebook — https://bit.ly/33xXEAm ▸ Instagram — https://bit.ly/33BL03r ▸ Tiktok — https://bit.ly/2F4a8pY ▸ Twitter — https://bit.ly/3no4jFq SUPPORT US ON PATREON ▸ https://bit.ly/3iNyiD0 FB DISCUSSION GROUP ▸ https://bit.ly/3lbKGOS For inquiries, email us: phmurderstories@gmail.com

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.  WEBSITE ▸ https://phmurderstories.com PODCAST ▸ Spotify — https://spoti.fi/3iz2YI3 ▸ Apple — https://apple.co/2GmarNN YOUTUBE ▸ PH Murder Stories  — https://bit.ly/3sm11n4 SOCIALS ▸ Facebook — https://bit.ly/33xXEAm ▸ Instagram — https://bit.ly/33BL03r ▸ Tiktok — https://bit.ly/2F4a8pY ▸ Twitter — https://bit.ly/3no4jFq SUPPORT US ON PATREON ▸ https://bit.ly/3iNyiD0 FB DISCUSSION GROUP ▸ https://bit.ly/3lbKGOS For inquiries, email us: phmurderstories@gmail.com

As PH Murder Stories dig deeper on the truths that matter on this case, we found a 2016 Rappler article as the latest reference of updates. In the said news report entitled “12 years on, still no justice for Hacienda Luisita massacre victims”, no trial has brought the victims justice as of the date of the writing. In 2010, at the helm of President Corazon's only son, President Benigno Aquino III, the Ombudsman dismissed the charges against the uniformed people implicated in the violent dispersal. In a 45-page confidential report obtained by the Rappler that is said to be the basis of the Ombudsman's decision, “it showed that sworn statements from protesters were more consistent and believable than the sworn statements of police, military, and Department of Labor and Employment personnel.” WEBSITE ▸ https://phmurderstories.com PODCAST ▸ Spotify — https://spoti.fi/3iz2YI3 ▸ Apple — https://apple.co/2GmarNN YOUTUBE ▸ PH Murder Stories  — https://bit.ly/3sm11n4 SOCIALS ▸ Facebook — https://bit.ly/33xXEAm ▸ Instagram — https://bit.ly/33BL03r ▸ Tiktok — https://bit.ly/2F4a8pY ▸ Twitter — https://bit.ly/3no4jFq SUPPORT US ON PATREON ▸ https://bit.ly/3iNyiD0 FB DISCUSSION GROUP ▸ https://bit.ly/3lbKGOS For inquiries, email us: phmurderstories@gmail.com

Last November 16, 2004, 14 people were killed in a bloody protest in Hacienda Luisita, including two children aged 2 and 5 who died from suffocation from teargas thrown by police and army dispersal teams. After being wounded, one of the victims was reportedly strangled and his dead body hanging at the factory's gate. At least 35 people have been confirmed to have suffered gunshot wounds, 133 have been arrested and held, hundreds have been hospitalized, and another hundred were missing. The devastation is a horrific reminder of the notorious Mendiola massacre and the massacre of Lupao, which both emerged from the demands of the peasants to own their land.

A handful of legislators opened an inquiry into Espinosa’s death in Manila. Jovie attended. It ended inconclusively days later. As Jovie left the hall, he received a call from a PNP director. “Jovie,” the voice crackled. “I will assign you to Ozamiz.” On December 8, 2016, Chief Inspector Jovie Espenido announced his transfer to Ozamiz City. In a text message, Espenido said, “Please kindly include me in your prayers for my new assignment in Ozamiz City, Misamis Occidental, Region 10.” Ozamiz City was disorganized. It was filthy, and trash piled on almost every street corner. Cars were disorderly parked. Squatting was prevalent. The downtown was hush and dusty as if they were preparing for war. But the situation is clear for Espenido: the business was dead. The Parojinogs had killed Ozamis. And he has one mission to fulfill, as he said, “My mission in Ozamiz City is to get the Parojinogs who was reportedly one of the “biggest” drug lords in Mindanao.” WEBSITE ▸ https://phmurderstories.com PODCAST ▸ Spotify — https://spoti.fi/3iz2YI3 ▸ Apple — https://apple.co/2GmarNN YOUTUBE ▸ PH Murder Stories  — https://bit.ly/3sm11n4 SOCIALS ▸ Facebook — https://bit.ly/33xXEAm ▸ Instagram — https://bit.ly/33BL03r ▸ Tiktok — https://bit.ly/2F4a8pY ▸ Twitter — https://bit.ly/3no4jFq SUPPORT US ON PATREON ▸ https://bit.ly/3iNyiD0 FB DISCUSSION GROUP ▸ https://bit.ly/3lbKGOS For inquiries, email us: phmurderstories@gmail.com.

Jaybee Sebastian pleaded guilty in arraignment for charges of conspiring with De Lima and five others to drug trade at the NBP compound during the legislator’s term as justice secretary.

On a Sunday afternoon on December 20, 2020, from what it seems that the world has had enough bad news since the start of the year, another tragedy adds to its list. A rogue police officer in civilian clothes shot and killed a mother and son in front of his 13-year-old daughter after an altercation involving the younger victim improvising "boga," a cannon usually made of bamboo or tin cans used to make noise during New Year celebrations. The shooting incident happened in Paniqui, Tarlac, 152 kilometers north of the nation's capital. / The killing of 52-year-old Sonya Gregorio and her son, 25-year-old Frank Gregorio, was captured on video by Alyssa Calosing, the older victim's granddaughter.

In a bid to fix diplomatic relations, President Duterte apologized to South Korea during a meeting with potential investors on January 26, 2017. Surprisingly, the case took an unfortunate turn of events when Judge Buan granted bail for Rafael Dumlao, citing the lack of evidence. The alleged mastermind of the Jee-Ick Joo kidnap-murder case was allowed to post bail worth 300,000 pesos for each of the three cases filed against him. During the same time, the court denied the bail petitions of his co-accused Sta. Isabel and Omlang.

While Jee Ick-Joo suffers his grievous fate in the hands of those who pledged “to serve and protect”, the Chief of the Philippine National Police Ronald "Bato" Dela Rosa, who was busy joining around 450 business personalities and nearly half a hundred political allies, serves as a junket of President Rodrigo Duterte in his travel to Beijing, China.

Jee Ick-Joo is known as the victim of a gruesome murder from law enforcers who took advantage of the controversial war on drugs to extort businessmen that provide for their families. But this story does not end here. For his employees who fondly called him "tatang", he is a boss who gave opportunities to his people.

The kidnap and murder of Jee-Ick Joo at the hands of the Philippine National Police are among the most significant controversies to hit in the country during President Duterte's controversial War on Drugs. Jee-Ick Joo, a South Korean businessman, and Marisa Morquicho, the house helper, were abducted together with Jee's Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) from his home in Friendship Plaza Subdivision, Angeles City, Pampanga, on October 18, 2016. On the same day, he was brought to Camp Crame, where he was strangled to death, cremated in a funeral parlor, and was flushed down the toilet by alleged policemen.
