Massacre in Bulacan

CITY OF SAN JOSE DEL MONTE Dexter Carlos Sr., a


security guard, arrived home on Tuesday morning at North
Ridge Royal Subdivision here from the night shift in a bank
in Makati City but was greeted with silence.
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. Fitz Macariola, city police chief, said Carlos told the
police that he last saw his family alive at 5 p.m. on Monday.
Aurora was visiting from Davao City, Macariola said.
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.
