PH Murder Stories

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.

A large suitcase was found floating near North Harbor, Tondo, Manila, on August 16, 2007. After retrieving the suitcase, the witnesses opened a case that would later shock the entire country. They found the decomposing body of a young girl stuffed inside the bag. The authorities went through a rigorous challenge to positively identify the body as seven-year-old Geraldine Palma. She was reportedly abducted on August 11, 2007.

In a confusing turn of events, Julieta Salvatierra, the mother of Jessalyn, another missing girl, came forward to the police and claimed that the body found inside the large suitcase was her daughter. The nature of this crime, as well as the confusion within the investigation, sparked public outrage on the police’s lack of assertiveness and the gruesome circumstances that Geraldine Palma went through.

Have you watched the hit horror movie The Exorcism of Emily Rose? If yes, have you ever wondered if someone from the Philippines has experienced the same thing or even worse?

Well, if you have, the story of Clarita Villanueva comes to mind. She was a 17-year-old orphan from Bacolod that moved to Manila in the early 1950s to work as a maid at first, but after eloping with a man who turned out to be married, Clarita left him and ended up working as a prostitute in hopes of improving her living situation.

One night, Clarita mistakenly offered sexual services to an undercover police officer. She was promptly arrested and detained at the 300-year-old Bilibid Prison in Manila, which had a lot of unpleasant memories, a place with a considerable amount of detainees who have suffered and died through the years.

Little did the people back then know that the Old Bilibid Prison would also be where the infamous demonic possession of Clarita Villanueva happened.

On November 18, 2009, one of the most controversial road rage incidents and manhunts of the 2000s happened in the Philippines.

The victim, in this case, was Renato Ebarle Jr., a son of a former presidential chief of Staff, Renato Ebarle Sr. He was shot and killed by Jason Ivler, a nephew of singer and songwriter Freddie Aguilar.

Witnesses saw the suspect go over to his victim's car and shoot him multiple times after a traffic altercation at the corner of Boni Serrano Street and Ortigas Avenue, Quezon City.

With various witnesses pinpointing Jason Ivler as the killer, he became one of the most wanted criminals at the time, in what others may argue was one of the most infamous manhunts in the Philippines.

Authorities and news outlets began their due diligence in figuring out who Jason Ivler was, and what they found out was shockingly outrageous.
