PH Murder Stories

Before the coronavirus disease affected our daily lives, the month of April was the most exciting month for those students who will finish their studies from a long school journey, as it was a time when students graduated from their respective levels. On April 8, 2019, the brutal killing of a 14-year-old girl happened near Cogon Cruz Integrated School, Danao City in Cebu. An unidentified person reported a complaint to the authorities that there was a foul odor coming from the school's septic tank. Together with the barangay officials' help, the police discovered a young girl’s corpse.They identified the victim as Tesa Marie Ygay. Those who were at the scene were shocked after discovering the young girl’s lifeless body with multiple stab wounds.CONNECT WITH US▸ https://linktr.ee/phmurderstoriesHere are links to our social media accounts, case photos, episode notes, and sources!YOUTUBE▸ www.youtube.com/phmurderstories DISCORD SERVER▸ https://bit.ly/3n38Tuh IG CHANNEL▸ https://ig.me/j/AbaOmN2HytgKay0F/ SUPPORT OUR SHOW ON PATREON▸ www.patreon.com/phmurderstories 

The upcoming 2025 midterm elections are near, which means the future of our leaders will be based on our votes this coming May. Through the years, there have been various incidents or initiatives from well-known or infamous politicians that broke or paved the way for their careers in public service.On April 23, 2012, a supposedly peaceful dismantling of a wet market quickly escalated into violence, resulting in one death and 40 injured people after the informal settlers of the Silverio Compound, fearing that they would lose their homes, confronted the police along Sucat Road in Parañaque City.The sole casualty was Arnel Leonor, a 19-year-old resident of the said residential compound, lying on the pavement with a fatal gunshot wound in the head. The police brought him to the nearest medical facility, but he was declared dead on arrival. This violent demolition in Paranaque City sparked discussions that highlighted the complex issues surrounding urban development, housing rights, and the need for more humane and inclusive approaches to addressing informal settlements.CONNECT WITH US▸ https://linktr.ee/phmurderstoriesHere are links to our social media accounts, case photos, episode notes, and sources!YOUTUBE▸ www.youtube.com/phmurderstories DISCORD SERVER▸ https://bit.ly/3n38Tuh IG CHANNEL▸ https://ig.me/j/AbaOmN2HytgKay0F/ SUPPORT OUR SHOW ON PATREON▸ www.patreon.com/phmurderstories 

Sagay City, located in the northern part of the province of Negros Occidental, is a significant hub for agriculture resources, where its local community is deeply connected. Historically, Sagay has been a major player in the sugar industry, which is a significant economic driver in the province.However, despite economic gains from the sugar plantations in Sagay, most of its farmers and plantation workers are being treated poorly by greedy land owners and land grabbers, some of which are influential and are supported by some local politicians or possibly even nationwide-elected leaders. The poor treatment received by sugar farmers in Sagay is just an understatement. Some of those who stand up and fight for their rights against these greedy influential land owners are often getting brutally punished and some are getting killed. On the evening of October 20, 2018, nine farmers of the National Federation of Sugar Workers, which included four women and two minors, were having dinner in a makeshift tent when they were attacked by armed men. There were survivors in the incident though their names were not reported to protect their identities. The brutal incident happened at Hacienda Nene, a sugarcane plantation located in Barangay Bulanon, Sagay City.CONNECT WITH US▸ https://linktr.ee/phmurderstoriesHere are links to our social media accounts, case photos, episode notes, and sources!YOUTUBE▸ www.youtube.com/phmurderstories DISCORD SERVER▸ https://bit.ly/3n38Tuh IG CHANNEL▸ https://ig.me/j/AbaOmN2HytgKay0F/ SUPPORT OUR SHOW ON PATREON▸ www.patreon.com/phmurderstories 

From time to time we make it our way to feature episodes with good outcomes. We know our podcast features true crime cases and accidents caused by humans or natural disasters, most of which did not have a happy ending, not that we expected it to be.However, we stumbled upon a story way back in 2010 at Dalaguete, Cebu, where a pine tree saved the lives of 32 people inside a bus that was about to fall off a cliff. This story was so amazing that we really need to go out of our way from our usual stories to cover this one for our listeners.CONNECT WITH US▸ https://linktr.ee/phmurderstoriesHere are links to our social media accounts, case photos, episode notes, and sources!YOUTUBE▸ www.youtube.com/phmurderstories DISCORD SERVER▸ https://bit.ly/3n38Tuh IG CHANNEL▸ https://ig.me/j/AbaOmN2HytgKay0F/ SUPPORT OUR SHOW ON PATREON▸ www.patreon.com/phmurderstories Thanks to BingoPlus for helping make this episode happen!Enjoy a good game of BingoPlus! — the first online poker casino in the Philippines.

Before the country’s most disastrous ship-related tragedies, the MV Dona Paz incident. Seven years earlier, the tragic sinking of M/V Don Juan in April 1980 at the time was the most disastrous of such incidents in the Philippines.Negligence played a big role in this tragic accident, various avoidable instances were a factor such as overloading of passengers, and the vessel’s captain playing mahjong moments before the accident causing the lives of 176 people and hundreds of missing people. At the time, little that our elders knew that the tragedy that happened to M/V Don Juan would be the trigger point of various major incidents to come on what local conspiracy theorists branded as the Romblon Triangle, similar to the Bermuda Triangle in the United States. Regardless on whether the curse of the Romblon Triangle is there or not, safety measures and attentiveness to the vessel and its surroundings were further highlighted in today's standards.CONNECT WITH US▸ https://linktr.ee/phmurderstoriesHere are links to our social media accounts, case photos, episode notes, and sources!YOUTUBE▸ www.youtube.com/phmurderstories DISCORD SERVER▸ https://bit.ly/3n38Tuh IG CHANNEL▸ https://ig.me/j/AbaOmN2HytgKay0F/ SUPPORT OUR SHOW ON PATREON▸ www.patreon.com/phmurderstoriesThanks to BingoPlus for helping make this episode happen!Enjoy a good game of BingoPlus! — the first online poker casino in the Philippines.

The West Philippine Sea is one of the most conflicted areas in the world, with various countries such as the Philippines, China, Vietnam, and others in the Asia Pacific claiming territorial rights in the disputed region.Given the heightened tensions between Manila and Beijing, we decided to look for incidents that fit our show’s genre. We found one that happened in 2013 under the Aquino administration.On May 9, 2013, a 65-year-old Taiwanese Fisherman named Huang Shih-Cheng, who was aboard a fishing boat, was shot dead by members of the Philippine Coast Guard aboard a surveillance ship. The incident happened in the Balintang Channel, where the Philippines and Taiwan’s Exclusive Economic Zones overlap.At the time, the incident strained the diplomatic relations between Manila and Taipei, affecting the livelihood of overseas Filipino workers in Taiwan.CONNECT WITH US▸ https://linktr.ee/phmurderstoriesHere are links to our social media accounts, case photos, episode notes, and sources!YOUTUBE▸ www.youtube.com/phmurderstories DISCORD SERVER▸ https://bit.ly/3n38Tuh IG CHANNEL▸ https://ig.me/j/AbaOmN2HytgKay0F/ SUPPORT OUR SHOW ON PATREON▸ www.patreon.com/phmurderstoriesThanks to BingoPlus for helping make this episode happen!Enjoy a good game of BingoPlus! — the first online poker casino in the Philippines.

In the province of Negros Occidental, the bodies of 58-year-old Kevin Fleischauer, a former US Navy, and his Filipina wife, 60-year-old Lolly, were found inside a 20-feet deep well near their home after being missing for over two weeks. Their fellow church members at Open Door Baptist Church had been worried about the couple after not hearing from them for over a week. With the help of authorities, they were led to a well that was emitting a strong, foul odor.As they initially suspected, the authorities found the bodies of Kevin and Lolly Fleischauer in the well. Upon inspection of the couple’s residence, it became more glaring that the motive behind the killings was robbery.CONNECT WITH US▸ https://linktr.ee/phmurderstories  Here are links to our social media accounts, case photos, episode notes, and sources!YOUTUBE▸ www.youtube.com/phmurderstories   DISCORD SERVER▸ https://bit.ly/3n38Tuh   IG CHANNEL▸ https://ig.me/j/AbaOmN2HytgKay0F/   SUPPORT OUR SHOW ON PATREON▸ www.patreon.com/phmurderstories  Thanks to BingoPlus for helping make this episode happen!Enjoy a good game of BingoPlus! — the first online poker casino in the Philippines.

The Philippines has its fair share of infamous tragedies linked to fires throughout its history. From the 1980s till the 2010s, there have been tragedies caused by fire every decade, which features cases with 70 or more casualties.These incidents are the infamous MV Doña Paz Tragedy in 1987 with 4,000 casualties, the Ozone Disco Fire in 1996 that killed 162 people, the Manor Hotel blaze in 2001 that caused 75 people's lives, and the Kentex Factory Fire in 2015, which took away the lives of 74 workers. Though most of these tragedies have a strong following at the time, the terrifying Kentex Factory Fire is a story that also needs to be revisited.On May 13, 2015, the Kentex Manufacturing Company Building located in Valenzuela City, Metro Manila, was on fire due to welding sparks that ignited the chemicals used to make flip-flops and rubber shoes.Thick, black smoke covered the building as rubber and chemicals burned. Sadly, the fire started near the factory entrance, which made it impossible for those trapped inside to get out alive. Unable to leave, trapped workers fled to the second floor and attempted to contact their relatives for help.The blaze spread quickly, and only a few people escaped.CONNECT WITH US▸ https://linktr.ee/phmurderstories Here are links to our social media accounts, case photos, episode notes, and sources!YOUTUBE▸ www.youtube.com/phmurderstories  DISCORD SERVER▸ https://bit.ly/3n38Tuh  IG CHANNEL▸ https://ig.me/j/AbaOmN2HytgKay0F/  SUPPORT OUR SHOW ON PATREON▸ www.patreon.com/phmurderstories Thanks to BingoPlus for helping make this episode happen!Enjoy a good game of BingoPlus! — the first online poker casino in the Philippines.
