Hi, My Name is...48

 Let's say hello to a few deranged foreigners and several crazy Filipinos. 

Hi, my name is being withheld because I am a minor. My younger half brothers and I were out swimming one day. All of a sudden I hit my younger brother on the head with a rock and drowned him while my other brother watched. He is the one who told on me. I killed my younger brother because I was angry that his father always told me to leave his house.

A 5-year-old boy died after he was allegedly drowned by his own half-brother while they were swimming in the seawaters of Sitio Lawis, Brgy. Suba-Basbas in Lapu-Lapu City on Friday, May 10, 2024, at around 9 a.m., police said.

Before drowning his stepbrother, the 14-year-old suspect allegedly hit the head of the victim with a rock.

Police Lieutenant Colonel Christian Torres, spokesperson of the Lapu-Lapu City Police Office (LCPO), said that the 5-year-old victim and the 14-year-old suspect have the same mother but have different fathers.

They were joined in their swimming excursion by their 7-year-old sibling who witnessed the whole tragic incident and who told police what really happened..

According to Torres, the suspect in the Lapu-Lapu City drowning incident killed the victim out of his anger towards the father of the child for allegedly always asking him to leave their house.

Torres added that the suspect was ill-mannered and a trouble-maker.

He said that the incident was reported to them at around 1:00 p.m. yesterday by the mother.

The Lapu-Lapu City drowning incident was not reported immediately since the mother had no idea yet of what really happened to the victim. Until the 7-year-old witness spilled the beans.

"They have no idea about the real incident because they believe that they just drowned. That's why the other brother told the story that he saw the incident where the head was hit on a rock because some guy injured the child's face. Then that's it, the boy also saw that the younger brother was really tired and dry," Torres said.

The suspect was turned over to the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) for proper interventions. Authorities are also investigating if the 14-year-old suspect is into drugs.

Hi, my name is Marilou Tabugara Tumangquiz. I asked my grandson to help me pick up some coconuts on our farm. All of a sudden I grabbed him, tied up his hands and feet, and hacked him to death with a bolo. The family called the police and the came right away which is good because they were about to hack me to death. No matter that I am old and suffer from mental illness.

Angelito Sunajo Olis, 12, was picking coconuts on the family farm in Barangay Bohe Sapa, Lamitan City in Basilan when he was allegedly attacked with a bolo by his grandmother.

Police Colonel Arlan Delumpines, city police director of Lamitan, said the incident happened around 7 p.m. on Friday but they were able to respond about two hours later after a report from Jojo Manuel, the barangay chair of Bohe Sapa.

He identified the alleged attacker as Marilou Tabugara Tumangquiz, 53.

In their initial investigation, Delumpines said that Tumangquiz requested her grandson to accompany her to pick up coconuts which is why they went to the farm.

“We found the lifeless body of the young boy with both hands and feet tied with a rope and he sustained multiple hack wounds on his head, body, hands, and feet that resulted [in] his instantaneous death,” Delumpines said.

The grandmother admitted to the crime and family members claimed the old woman was suffering from mental illness.

“We are still filing a murder case against the woman. If we were late in responding, the old woman would have suffered the same fate as her grandson as the infuriated family was planning to kill her,” Delumpines said.

Hi, my name is being withheld and so is my nationality. I am a foreigner living in Mandaue City. The dogs here are very noisy especially at night making me unable to sleep. So, I fed them rat poison. Seven dogs and five cats died and I was finally able to get some peace. But everyone found out it was me and they wanted to file a case. But they did not because I asked for forgiveness.  

https://cebudailynews.inquirer.net/545298/poisoned-pets-owners-settle-case-with-foreigner

The owners of dogs and cats killed in Aliño Compound, Barangay Cabancalan, Mandaue City on December 2 have withdrawn their complaints against the foreigner accused of killing the pets using rat poison.

The complainants and the wife of the foreigner met at the Barangay Hall on Wednesday, December 13, 2023.

The foreigner was summoned by Barangay Captain Francis Karlo Remedio after they received complaints about seven dogs and five cats allegedly killed in the compound.

But Remedio said that the foreigner was unable to attend the meeting because of medical issues.

However, one neighbor and owner of one of the dogs that died wants to pursue and file a case against the foreigner, which is why Remedio scheduled another meeting in January.

"The complainant is the only one, he is the only one, because he is concerned about the dog, he is said to have been close to it because it is said to be cheap and will deliver it to him as soon as they are taken away from them. He really wants to file with PAWS (Philippine Animal Welfare Society). If he files a complaint with him, we will support him, we will give him a notice to proceed," said Remedio.

Remedio said that the other pet owners decided to forgive the foreigner after he asked for their forgiveness.

"Even though it was Christmas, they were forgiven because there was nothing they could do. They don't have a dog," said Remedio.

Remedio said that, according to the wife of the foreigner who is already 60 years old, he poisoned the pets because they were very noisy, especially at night.

"Supposedly because of the resentment towards the foreigner, because he is sick, he is said to be very noisy at night. That's why he's angry, he's dizzy," he said.

Hi, my name is Gerald Balsa. I am jobless, live with my mom, and depend on her to give me money. One day I was very hungry and was served boiled pork soup to eat. But it was awful. It was so awful I lost my mind and ended up burning my house down. My mother's leg was burned as a result of the fire I set. 

https://cebudailynews.inquirer.net/546550/balamban-father-who-did-not-like-soup-served-on-him-burns-house-down

A 39-year-old man, who was angry because he was not satisfied with how the boiled pork soup (linat-ang baboy) that was served to him was cooked, set his house on fire and burned it down.

The incident happened last Sunday, December 17, in Sitio Sam-ang, Barangay Pondol, Balamban town in western Cebu.

Police later arrested Gerald Balsa, 39, a resident of Sitio Sam-ang.

Investigation showed that Balsa, who got so angry for being served a boiled pork soup that was not to his taste and liking, caused him to go over the edge and set his house on fire.

According to FO2 Gerald Fritz Desierto, investigator of the Balamban Fire Station, that Balsa allegedly started the fire by burning his foam mattress on his bed.

Desierto said that Balsa’s mother was burned in the leg and was rushed to the hospital for treatment.

Balsa’s house was razed leaving his live-in partner, 60-year-old mother, his stepfather and his stepbrother homeless this Christmas.

According to the Balamban Fire Station, the damage to property was estimated at P400,000.

The displaced family members are now staying at Gerald’s stepsister’s house.

Desierto said that Balsa, who has no job, allegedly depended on his mother to give him money.

Gerald Balsa was detained at the Balamban Police Station pending the filing of charges.

Desierto said that Balsa would face the charges of arson and physical injury.

No casualties were recorded during the incident.

Hi, my name is Lars Flemming Heding Nielsen. I am a Danish national. I was found guilty by the courts of sexually abusing two minors from 2014-2015. My defense was that I did not do it but they said that was not enough and my innocence was something impossible for me to prove. 

https://newsinfo.inquirer.net/1880021/tagbilaran-court-finds-danish-guilty-of-abusing-2-minors-in-bohol

A 63-year-old Danish national was convicted for sexual abuse of two minors in 2014 to 2015 in a resort in Panglao, Bohol.

Lars Flemming Heding Nielsen was found guilty for seven counts of acts of lasciviousness by Judge Leo Moises Lison of the Regional Trial Court Branch 3 in Tagbilaran City on Dec. 19.

Nielsen was meted a penalty of eight years and one day as minimum to 17 years, four months and one day as maximum.

He was also ordered to pay each victim P50,000 in civil indemnity and P50,000 in moral damages.

In its decision, the court observed that the victims provided detailed accounts of the lascivious acts committed against them by Lars.

Their consistent and affirmative testimonies also remained uncontroverted during cross-examination.

“Lars admitted that he had no categorical denial of the charges against him. He further explained in re-direct examination that he is not guilty of the charges and did not do the acts for which he is accused. That constitutes his defense. However, he cannot prove it because it is impossible,” Lison said.

“The state shall defend the right of the children to assistance, including proper care and nutrition, and special protection from all forms of neglect, abuse, cruelty, exploitation, and other conditions prejudicial to their development.”

A hold departure order had been issued against Lars on January 25, 2021.

Private prosecutor Esther Gertrude Biliran said the victory was an affirmation of their advocacy for women and children.

“It is really true that it takes a community to raise a child. We may have all the laws for women and children but if the victims remain silent, if the parents are not supportive or will just settle the case, if the advocates easily give up, or if the government does not cooperate, all these laws would remain futile,” she said.

“I commend these two survivors and their parents for their perseverance. May this victory inspire us to continue to bring to justice these perpetrators for the safety of our women and children,” she added.

Hi, my name is Mary Evelyn Dolor Neuen. Though I am a Dutch national I was traveling on a German passport with my family on holiday. While airport security was looking through my bags I said, "There is a bomb." I was promptly arrested.

“Upon receiving the report, the K9-OED unit immediately conducted paneling and upon thorough inspection, the result was negative of explosive,” Fantonia said.

He said this was the first time that they encountered such an incident and that this would serve as a lesson to everyone. 

Hi, my name is Kim Sunmin and I am a Korean national. In the early morning around 4 am I saw a beautiful 21-year old college girl walking home form her shift at a bar. We took a taxi to my house where I had invited her to eat. But there was no food. Instead I consumed a bottle of alcohol and instructed the girl to go into the bathroom. When she emerged I was fully naked. I then forced her on the bed, stripped her clothes off, threatened to kill her and her family if she continued to resist, and raped her. Later she left and told the police.

However, upon emerging from the bathroom, the victim told police she was surprised to find the Korean national completely naked.

Kim then allegedly pulled her and forced her to lie on the bed with him and stripped her.

According to the report, the suspect allegedly became angry when the victim resisted and threatened to kill her along with her family.

He then reportedly covered the victim’s mouth and proceeded to rape her.

Hi, my name is Nardito Pakuan-kuan Acbo. My family saw me hitting my head with a rock and took me to the hospital. After receiving treatment I returned home and everybody left. They found me lifeless not long afterwards due to my injuries.

Hi, my name is being withheld because of what I did to my daughter. See, she is only three years old. Her mother, my live-in partner, is an OFW in Europe. She used to send us money but then all of a sudden she blocked me on Facebook and stopped the payments. So, to get her attention I made a video  choking, slapping and threatening to hack with a knife my 3-year-old daughter inside my cab. I then posted it online. But my partner did not see it. How could she when she has me blocked? Instead an old classmate of mine who is also a cop saw the video. It was he who put the word out for my arrest.

https://cebudailynews.inquirer.net/559077/taxi-driver-nabbed-after-posting-video-of-him-choking-slapping-3-year-old-daughter-inside-cab

A desperate taxi driver was arrested on February 26 after he went online and showed a video of him choking, slapping and threatening to hack with a knife his 3-year-old daughter inside his cab on February 26.

All this to allegedly catch the attention of his estranged live-in partner, who was in Europe and whom the driver claimed to be allegedly in a relationship with a foreigner there.

The driver told authorities after he was arrested that his live-in partner left for Europe eight months ago and had since cut communications with him by blocking him in her social media pages and had allegedly stopped sending financial support to him and their daughter.

Initial investigation showed that the taxi driver, who drove his cab around Cebu City and eventually ended near the city of Naga allegedly went online and showed him maltreating his 3-year-old daughter inside his cab.

The online posts caught the attention of the classmate of Police Lieutenant John Paul Galacio, deputy chief of Police of Waterfront Police Station in Cebu City, who informed him about the disturbing post.

Galacio then contacted the taxi operator, who helped them locate where the taxi cab was by sending to the police officer the GPS location of the cab, which was later found to be in Naga City in southern Cebu.

Galacio said that he then informed Police Lieutenant Colonel William Homoc, Naga City Police Station chief, of the situation. 

Homoc then issued an order directing all police officers of the station to look for, pursue and arrest the taxi cab driver and rescue the 3-year-old girl.

He was later located in the city and arrested and the child was rescued.

The arrested taxi cab driver later told police during the investigation that he did that to his daughter and posted what he did online to get the attention of his estranged live-in partner, who was in Europe for eight months now.

He said he was desperate after his live-in partner blocked him from her social media pages.

He also said that she allegedly had cut financial support to him and their daughter.

The taxi driver, who is from Liloan town in northern Cebu, was turned over to the Waterfront Police Station in Cebu City by the Naga City Policemen because the taxi driver committed the crime in Cebu City, particularly, in the area under the jurisdiction of the Waterfront Police Station.

He was detained at the Waterfront Police Station detention cell pending the filing of child abuse charges or for violation of RA 7610 (Physical abuse).

The child is now under the custody of a relative of the driver in a Cebu City barangay.

Hi, my name is Honeylyn Tamayo. While I was breastfeeding my brother-in-law stabbed me several times until I was dead. He refused to tell anyone why he did it but everyone knows he is "cursed after he cut down a tree believed to house a spiritual being." 

https://cebudailynews.inquirer.net/551613/mom-stabbed-dead-by-bro-in-law-in-malabuyoc

A 31-year-old woman did not survive after her brother-in-law allegedly stabbed her several times while she was breastfeeding her baby at home on the morning of Wednesday, January 17, 2024.

The incident occurred in Sitio Calugtugan, Barangay Cerdeña, Malabuyoc town, southwestern Cebu.

The victim, identified as 31-year-old Honeylyn Tamayo, a mother of a 4-year-old and a 2-month-old, was fatally attacked. The suspect, Jobert Valera, a 53-year-old farmer and Tamayo’s brother-in-law, was apprehended after the incident.

An ongoing investigation aims to determine Valera’s motive in killing his wife’s sister.

According to Police Senior Master Sergeant Ronidilo Duerme, the brutal incident happened inside the victim’s house around 7:30 a.m. as she was breastfeeding her baby girl.

Valera allegedly entered the house with a 32-centimeter-long kitchen knife taken from his nearby residence. Without apparent reason, he reportedly began stabbing the victim multiple times, causing her to collapse on the ground.

A neighbor heard Tamayo screaming, prompting her siblings to rush inside the house. Valera allegedly used the victim’s 4-year-old daughter as a shield, but the siblings were able to stop him and rescue the child unharmed.

They then sought help from authorities.  Upon the arrival of responding personnel, Tamayo was rushed to the nearest hospital.  The attending physician declared her dead on arrival due to the six wounds on her chest and back.

The police said there was no prior history of conflict between the parties.  Valera, when questioned by the police, denied the accusations by shaking his head and refusing to speak.

Intelligence reports also suggest that Valera is not known to be a user of illegal drugs.

Meanwhile, there were speculations that Valera may be cursed after he cut down a tree believed to house a spiritual being.
