Murder at Your Own Backyard
A friend of mine was shot in front of their house and his car was stolen. He was 34. I knew him from my cousin and we went to the same gym together. He was a fun loving guy and never have I thought of someone killing him in retaliation over something, was out of the question. To take his car was the possible motive of the attackers but they also took Dingdong’s life with them.
excerpts from the blog Munting Tinig ng Pateros:
“In what may have been less than 5 minutes, 34 years of a beautiful and promising life got ended violently. Nobody saw what really happened during those fatal minutes. The autopsy indicates gunpowder burn on his left hand. He could have held on to the gun when it fired, wounding his palm and wrist. There were also 2 shots in the chest, with one puncturing his lungs. Of the 2 chest wounds, one was inflicted while he had his back turned away from the gunman, and the other was inflicted while he was already sprawled on the pavement. The fatal shot went through the side of the abdomen, slicing through his liver, intestines and right kidney.”
Who is to blame? Our government of course not! We always have a choice! If you can have the energy to kill a man then you must have the energy to lift cinder blocks and mix cement. Lumaban kayo ng patas mga Pu***** nyo. I just hope that our vaunted SOCO would be able to put the perpetrators of this crime to justice.
In a country full of criminality it won’t be a surprise if someone you know or love has become a victim of a crime. Just last year our store was held up by still unknown victims. We all must remain vigilant and if ever this would happen to you don’t do any sudden movements. Just cooperate and pray that the criminals still have a soul left.

He hails from Pangasinan and was raised in a not so slum area of Quezon City. He is a real and reluctant barangay kagawad and is sometimes shocked at the fact that this country is really politicized. He hopes to become corrupt someday so that he can buy all the bling-bling attributed to politicians.

wala na talaga tayo magagawa sa ganyang sistema sa ating bayan boss mark. tatak na yan. pero ang lagi ko lang tanong sa mga ganyang karumal dumal na pagkakataong ay “NASAAN NA ANG PUSO AT KALULUWA NG MGA TAONG GUMAWA NIYAN?”
nakikiramay ako para sa kaibigan nyo..
nakakalungkot na story to mark. considering na ang gwapo pala nito at me asawa’t anak. considering na laganap ang drugs sa metropolis, i hope it’s not drugs, but kotse ang habol?
ang bigat naman sa loob ng babasahin na ito..san nga kaya humuhugot ng lakas ng loob ang mga taong gumagwa ng ganyang klaseng krimen…
Make or Break
somehow i cant type, heavy to ‘tol; may justice be served!
I feel for Mark. I also had a buddy who was killed and shot pointblank. Napagkamalan daw. it was 10 years ago. My friend just came from the blessed sacrament of the basilica when he was shot at a dark alley. Till now di pa nakakulong yung salarin kasi drug lord daw yung mastermind at napagkamalan lang yung kumpare ko.
Mark my condolences.
oh nooo!!! hinde na talaga safe these days, nakakatakot tuloy lumabas.
my condolences to dingdong’s family.
sorry to hear about your friend. Kapag kilala natin ang mga biktima ng violence parang nakaka-shock at surreal. Pero sa totoo ay “ordinaryo” na sa telebisyon. Kapag mismong tayo ang apektado, parang nakakapangilabot.
Nakakalungkot naman ng story na ito, Mark. Nakikiramay ako sa pamilyang naiwan ng biktima.
sigh, ang pilipinas para na syang mexico, lahat pwedeng magdala ng lisensyadong baril… self defense daw pero ang totoo pag my baril ka sa kamay mayat maya nangangati ang baril mong kalabitin.
dito kahit pulis walang baril, hepe lang ng pulisya ang my baril, ang mga bangko man my isang sikyu lang na sasalubong sayo ni wala manlang nail cutter na sandata at ang mga metal boxes sa tabi ng counter na punum puno ng pera palagay na palagay ang loob na walang haharbat sa kanila.
dito nakakita nako ng nag away sa trapiko, sabi ko kung satin to wala ng dakdakan my lilipad ng bala at tubo sa isat isa.
nakakatakot na satin, mayat maya nag aalala ako para sa kaligtasan ng pamilya ko lalo na ng anak ko estudyante, kasi sa pinas masamang matuwa ang ibang tao, pag napag tripan ka kahit naglalakad kalang at nakatuwaan dedo ka.
yung baril, yun ang dapat tutukan ng batas.
muli nakikiramay ako mark.
grabe, only 34? kakawindang!
Shocking. Di talaga bagay sa Pilipinas ang mag-display ng kayamanan pag mayaman ka. Kontento na talaga ako sa bulok kong kotse, uh huh. IN the meantime, parang mysterious sya. Anong klaseng kaso kaya ito? What were they really after??
@ajay, parang lumabas ang katanungang investigative journalism sa tuno ng boses mo.
Puedi rin kaya ang katanungan ko sa jounalistic point of view?
Organized kaya ito? o Napagtripan lang ng mga sangganong kriminal.
Bat kailangang patayin?
Ang biktima lang ba ang nakakakilala sa mga kriminal?
Ung lugar biglang nawalan ng tao sa oras na un na marami naman sanang istambay sa lugar na un?
or talagang walang katao tao ang lugar na pinangyarihan?
Pakikiramay ang hatid ko sa iyong kaibigan kapatid na Mark,.. dalangin ko lamang na sana’y maigawad ang katarungan para rin sa ikakaginhawa ng loob ng kanyang pamilya.
@anynomark, pakikiramay na rin ang hatid nitong puso.
Signum Crusis nalang para kay Dingdong.
Kuro kuro:
Sa kanyang kamatayan makikita nating ang bangis ng mundo.
2009… ganoon na ganoon pa rin ang tao.
mukhang lumala pa ata?
Sabi pa ng isang Rev. Sharpton, kung walang justice wala daw peace.
Imagine, sa liit ng Pilipinas walang nakakaalam kung sino ang mga mamamatay tao?
Lately nahalata ko rin sa pangyayari sa pinas na, swerti ka lang kung ang titira sa iyo ay ung mga apprentice na wanna be berdugos na kumapit sa patalim/o baril kaya for some evil evil reasons.
May scenario two din na, what if seasoned at veterans sa gawaing berdugismo ang dadali sa yo?
What if un bang professionals na walang kakurap kurap ang mata kung itoy titira.
nag papraktis pa yan. may dry run pa yan. monitor bawat hakbang ng target… different scenario understudy yan.
katakot takot na surviellance pa yan. lahat ng posible problems sa araw ng pagtatanghal may sagot lahat yan.
May pang tit-for-tat big time, kung sakali man.
Sa kahirapan ngayon usually parang bang charge ka na lang ng robbery or homicide kaya gawa ng mga masasamang loob sa sosyodad at of course ang pinaka popular na reason WHY mo ginawa? Dahil sa KAHIRAPAN.
At the end, saan na ang karapatang mabuhay and pursuit of happiness sa bayang tinubuan?
Di ba sana ang sakit ng kalingkingan ay dama ng buong bayan… parang hindi ata ganyan. May nagluluksa at may ibang nakaganansya doon sa ari-arian ng biktima.
Sana may Justice ang kamatayan ni Dingdong.
Sana malaman ang mga pumaslang
Sana madakip at bigyang parusa sa HUSTISYANG PILIPINO
Kung ano mang justice yan, goodluck na lang.
Amen!
we should all carry guns. para man lang may laban tayo sa magtangkang pumatay sa atin.
nakalungkot. a nephew of a friend of mine was also shot dead by some people recently. the guy was just in his 20s. nagsisimula pa lang maging adult.
parang ang hirap mamatay na wala kang man lang kalaban-laban. at least kung may baril ka, tamaan mo man lang kahit isang beses ang hayup. basta sa deadly part ng katawan.
hayyy…nakakatakot na ang mundo.
Nakikiramay din po sa pamilya ng taong ito.
Mark, thanks for sharing this.
As we all know, ang mga batugan e umistrike na naman.
Dapat kasi ibalik death penalty.
@jepoy, dyan agree ako dyan,wala na kasing ni katiting na kinatatakutan e
Third the motion ako sa death penalty suggestion ni Jepoy.
Gusto ko pa nga isalang sa kawa ang mga kupal at batugan na yan.
meron dn option, yung tipong mahigit sa tatlo witness.. yun siguradong death penalty..or kung masyado banal yung pamilya nung biktima.. pwedeng life imprisonment.
Masarap balatan ng buhay sabay ibabad sa kalamansi
A whisper of a prayer po para sa pamilya ng friend mo at sa yo…
Salamat sa inyo mga kabaryo!Sa mga pagkakataong ito ay naiisip natin na sana di na tinangal death penalty. sabi nila dapat maging vigilant pero parang mas gusto ko pangmaging vigilante. Putangina talaga yang mga yan!
This is very sad. My sincere condolences to his family. Nakakapanghinayang, he is only 34 years old. Haay naku…di talaga natin alam kung ano ang tadhana…
I would like to thank you for what you have written about my husband, dingdong…I would assume you are alvin’s cousin-mark?sa lahat ng taga-barrio maraming salamat po…those heartless criminals not only took away a 34 year old man, they took away a good son, a loving husband and a doting father to a three year old son and a year old daughter…if justice must be served, it must be given unto them ten-fold…pero sa takbo ng systema natin dito…mabilis pa ang pagong!Bahala na ang karma sa kanila, kahit mahuli pa sila, makulong at ma-lethal injection, they will never be able to bring back the life that I have, the life my kids should have, I will never get my husband back…I find strength in the countless people who have shared my grief, in the people whose lives he has touched with his jolly nature and his endearing smile, thank you.
