Carlos was calling out to family members to open their gate when he arrived in their house in Barangay Sto. Cristo at 8:45 a.m. No one answered. After waiting for an hour and growing impatient, Carlos climbed the gate, peeped through a window, and was stunned when he saw his mother-in-law, Aurora, 58, lying on the floor without her lower garments. He called the police, and proceeded to the back door where he found his wife, Estrella, lying naked on the floor with several stab wounds. He also found his three children 1-year-old Dexter Jr., Ella, 7, and Donny, 11 locked inside a room, dead from stab wounds. Supt.

The polices Scene of the Crime Operation here said the victims bore knife wounds, but forensic investigators had yet to recover the murder weapons. Investigators said the family could have been attacked and killed between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. Macariola said investigators started interviewing neighbors, particularly those who visited the family members before their bodies were found. The house stands in front of a staging area for tricycles, indicating that someone may have witnessed the killer or killers. Estrella, police said, engaged in a small business by selling water from a faucet outside their house. Investigators would want to know who frequented the area. Ex-cop escorts Atong Ang, Gretchen Barreto through Naia BI A former policeman escorted Charlie Atong Ang, actress Gretchen Barreto and company through the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (Naia) when they arrived from a trip to Bangkok, Thailand, on Sunday, a Bureau of Immigration (BI) memorandum said. A certain retired SPO4 Ciriaco Peralta told BI personnel under the Border Control and Intelligence Unit (BCIU) that he would be escorting Ang, who was with Barreto, according to the memo by Marc Red Marias, acting chief of the Port Operations Division (POD). Peralta approached the BCIU on duty informing that he will be assisting Mr. Ang, said the memo submitted to Immigration Commissioner Jaime Morente. The BI said Peralta allegedly wore a pass from the airports pass control office when he met Ang, Barreto and company and escorted them to the immigration counter of the NAIA 1 terminal. The report described Peralta as a media practitioner and added that he was reportedly an employee of the Rustans retail stores. Meanwhile, Ang is a businessman engaged in gaming. He operates an online jai alai numbers game through Meridien Vista Gaming Corp. The BI ordered an investigation following reports that Ang, Barreto and their companions were given VIP treatment at the airport. Marias stressed that no immigration officer or BI or POD employee was involved in escorting Ang and Barreto. Morente said that he would ask Manila International Airport Authority General Manager Ed Monreal to investigate the incident and take appropriate action to prevent its recurrence in the future. Subsequently, the BI on Wednesday reminded its men that they were prohibited from giving VIP treatment to passengers. Morente said immigration areas in all international airports nationwide were off limits to unauthorized persons. In his memorandum, Marias reminded bureau personnel to strictly observe the no travel facilitation, no loafing and no loitering policy. He warned that employees who disobey the directive will be dealt with severely and meted with stiff disciplinary action. CBB
