Hi, my name is Christian Labarez. My girlfriend, Percy Paculaba, got into a loud heated argument one night. I had been trying to woo her back to me but to no avail. It was supposed to be our 9 months celebration and I brought her flowers. She tossed them and said she had been seeing another man. We argued outside, then took it inside, and then it stopped. But around 2 a.m. I took a hammer and bashed her head in. She screamed very loudly alerting the neighbors so I cheesed it. But later I surrendered.

A sleeping 22-year-old man from Daanbatayan, northern Cebu died after he was allegedly beaten on the head with a hammer by his own father on early Wednesday morning, December 13, 2023.
The victim was identified as Marck Wen Monteza, 22, a laborer and a resident of MJ Cuenco Street in Barangay Poblacion, Daanbantayan.
Meanwhile, the suspect was identified as his father, 63-year-old Lim Piamonte Monteza, also a laborer.
A police report showed that the killing was reported to the authorities at around 7:00 a.m.
Police Senior Master Sergeant Alfredo Mandal, investigator at the Daanbantayan Police Station, told CDN Digital in a phone interview that the victim was sleeping inside his room when the deadly attack took place.
According to Mandal, the father and son had a rocky relationship because the latter was allegedly violent and he would always fight against his father.
A day before the attack, the two reportedly argued and the son flicked a shirt that hit his father.
After the argument, the father left the house to cool off.
On Wednesday dawn, the father found his son sleeping and decided to ask him of his problem of being hotheaded.
So he shook him to wake him up, but the son instead of getting up, shouted at him, asking him what he wanted, and then turned his back on the father to get back to sleep.
This made the father so angry — enough to drive him over the edge.
The father then a grabbed a hammer nearby and beat his son’s head several times until the son was left unconscious.
Mandal confirmed that the motive behind the incident was previous personal grudge due to past grudges.
During the interview with police, the suspect also said that he was scared that his son would kill him if he did not do it first.
The father allegedly had a suspicion that his son was using illegal drugs and that was why he would easily get angry.
According to Mandal, the incident happened without the suspect’s wife and other kids knowing as they were all asleep.
After killing his son, the man went to the house of his neighbor, who is a policeman, and told the latter about what he did.
The neighbor then called the police and told them that the father would voluntarily surrender.
Upon the arrival of responding officers, the victim was rushed to the Daanbantayan District Hospital. The attending physician, however, declared him dead on arrival.
The responding policemen also arrested the father on the scene and brought him to the Daanbantayan Police Station where he was detained.
They also recovered from him the claw hammer believed to have been used in the crime.
Mandal said that the suspect told police that he felt pity for his son and regretted what he did.
However, he is resigned to facing the consequences of his actions.
Mandal said that they were waiting for the decision of the victim’s family on whether they would be filing charges of parricide against the suspect.

A 30-year-old man from Toledo City, Cebu is facing a homicide complaint after he allegedly beat a 25-year-old man to death with a stone, claiming he feared the victim was about to attack him.
The suspect voluntarily surrendered to authorities shortly after the incident and is now in the custody of the Toledo City Police Station pending the filing of appropriate criminal charges.
According to the initial investigation, the incident occurred at around 1:30 a.m. along Luray 1 in Barangay Poblacion on Saturday, July 4.
Police said the suspect, who was allegedly under the influence of alcohol, had left his house to look for his father when he encountered the victim along the road.
Investigators said the victim was shirtless and appeared to have a pistol tucked into the right side of his waistband.
The suspect told investigators he believed the victim was about to draw the firearm, prompting him to push the victim. The two allegedly fell to the ground during the struggle.
Police said the suspect then repeatedly struck the victim in the face with a stone before fleeing the scene, leaving the victim bloodied on the road.
Investigators later determined that the firearm tucked into the victim’s waist was a replica gun.
Police said the suspect later encountered his aunt and allegedly told her he had seen a man lying along the road with a bloodied face before returning home.
His aunt then alerted barangay officials, prompting the local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (DRRMO) rescue team to respond and transport the victim to a hospital.
However, the attending physician declared the victim dead on arrival.
Responding police officers secured the scene and requested the assistance of the Scene of the Crime Operatives (SOCO) to process the area.
Shortly afterward, the barangay captain informed police that the suspect had voluntarily surrendered and admitted his involvement in the incident.
As of Sunday, July 5, investigators have yet to determine whether the suspect and the victim had any prior conflict.
