PH Murder Stories

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.

On a Saturday night last January 6, 2024, 45-year-old Ryan Ambrosio and 43-year-old Jennifer Ambrosio, a Filipino couple and parents of six children in Michigan, were on their way home from a date night. As they were cruising through the Lodge Freeway near the Civic Center Drive in Southfield at around 1:30 am, a vehicle going the wrong way crashed into them, tragically leading to the demise of Ryan and Jen.The culprit, 35-year-old Angel Melendez-Ortiz, was evading police at the time. In order to lose them, he decided to drive on the wrong side of the freeway with the headlights of his stolen vehicle turned off.It is when he tragically collided with the vehicle of the Ambrosios, seriously injuring himself and his 29-year-old unnamed female companion.CONNECT WITH UShttps://linktr.ee/phmurderstories Here are links to our social media accounts, case photos, episode notes, and sources!YOUTUBEwww.youtube.com/phmurderstories  DISCORD SERVERhttps://bit.ly/3n38Tuh  IG CHANNELhttps://ig.me/j/AbaOmN2HytgKay0F/  SUPPORT OUR SHOW ON PATREONwww.patreon.com/phmurderstories  

As you probably heard, 35-year-old Jullebee Ranara, a Filipina who had to move to Kuwait to make ends meet and support her family as a domestic worker, was brutally killed in 2023.She was tortured, raped, and murdered. As if this grueling ordeal was not enough, Jullebee's heartless perpetrator even burnt her body, threw his victim in the desert, and ran her over with a vehicle.Based on a report from Vice World News, there are over 268,000 Filipinos currently working in Kuwait, most of which consist of domestic workers. The Kafala system governs migrant workers in Kuwait, and various human rights group says that the Kafala system is a legal framework utilized in most Gulf states that authorizes employers to have full control over the legal status of migrant workers. Unfortunately, Jullebee Ranara's gruesome murder is not the first incident that happened to a Filipino in Kuwait. This recent incident appears to have caused a ton of frustration in how the Kuwaitis view less of Filipinos. It is unacceptable and should not be tolerated by the international community. 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  DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed by the podcast creators, hosts, and guests do not necessarily reflect the official policy and positions of Podcast Network Asia.

There have been infamous crimes in the Philippines that have happened during the holiday season.A particular case that comes to mind is the heartless killing of mother-and-son Sonya and Frank Gregorio from Tarlac. Former policeman Jonel Nuezca had a verbal altercation with the Gregorios after the former policeman was arresting Frank for illegal possession of "Boga," an improvised noisemaker cannon. Sonya, his mother, came to her son's aid, and the altercation with Nuezca promptly escalated.Nuezca ended up shooting both victims, and it became one of the most infamous crimes in 2020.Three holiday seasons later, we noticed two separate peculiar cases that happened during the week of Christmas 2023 and New Year 2024.What's bizarre about these cases was the gruesome nature that the two victims had gone through on separate occasions, where the culprits behind their killings beheaded the victims.Given that these gruesome cases are similar, we decided to cover both crimes in one episode, a first of its kind in our show.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  DISCLAIMER: The views and opinions expressed by the podcast creators, hosts, and guests do not necessarily reflect the official policy and positions of Podcast Network Asia.

Violence in Philippine politics, especially in this modern era, has been a serious issue that has continued to hinder the country's path to political maturity, therefore raising more doubts about an ineffective justice system that is slow and, in other instances, can be bought by influential and powerful clans. However, the subject of our episode today involves a troubled medical professional who went to great lengths to seek revenge. On July 24, 2022, in what was supposed to be one of the most eventful occasions a family could have in their lifetime, former Lamitan City Mayor Rose Furigay was attending her daughter Hannah's law school graduation at Ateneo De Manila University. Bypassing campus security was Dr. Chao-Tiao Yumol, who was armed with a .45-caliber pistol, managed to get close to his target and ended up killing the former mayor, her executive assistant, Victor George Capistrano, and a campus security guard, Jeneven Bandiala, who risked his life attempting to stop the assailant. The former mayor's daughter, Hannah, was also shot but was able to survive.

Happy Halloween to all of you guys! It is the time of the year when most of us get to watch or listen to horror films, shows, and podcasts.  Indeed, there is a lot of content out there to consume, and chances are you have probably stumbled upon this podcast because it's Halloween Season. Let us tell you a horrific crime that happened in 2018. Some would say this is a lesser-known story, but to us, this case is by far one of the most gruesome stories that this show has covered.It involves murder, mutilation, and cannibalism. And you know what's the worst part? The horrific nature of this case truly happened in real life. In March 2018, residents of Barangay Holy Spirit, Quezon City, informed authorities after witnessing 43-year-old Orlando Estrera, soaked in blood, throwing mutilated body parts out of their house. Once the police arrived, they discovered that the victim was the suspect's wife, 46-year-old Heidi Estrera. Orlando Estrera was promptly detained at the Quezon City jail, and what he told the authorities would probably not make you sleep at night.

On March 11, 2019. Christine Silawan, a 16-year-old high school student, was found dead in a vacant lot in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu.  Half of her face was skinned to the skull, her body was stabbed twenty times, and she had signs of sexual assault.  The gruesome nature that Christine Silawan endured from her killer sparked nationwide outrage, which led to various groups urging the government to reinstate the death penalty.

We've seen that one iconic scene in horror movies before—the protagonist, either being chased or needing to hide, goes under their bed, trying their best to stay quiet as the killer roams around. Some survive, but some end up getting dragged away from under the bed... to their death. Fortunately for a Filipina nurse named Corazon Amurao, almost the exact scene happened to her in real life in 1966. She survived Chicago's most infamous mass murderer, Richard Speck.
