Important Warning: The photos in relation to this issue are intentionally modified to minimize the gruesome visual representations of the bodies of the victims when found in the crime scene by the Scene of the Crime Operators. The pictures as obtained from public information websites are hazed or indistinctively represented, out of respect to the well being of the family of the victims. Every peace loving citizen strongly condemns such violent acts and extends its sympathy to the individuals who have perished.
Just as we all are in fading perception on the spate of vigilante style killings, the Cebuanos were taken aback by the repugnant fate of Maria Eva Mae Peligro and Gwendolyn Balasta of Talisay City on the 24th of July. Body parts of both victims were uncovered simultaneously from different locations and foothills. Chunks and bits of human pieces, torso, hands, portion of the upper body and the victim’s head were found stuffed in a garbage bag which left people with horrible thoughts on how one could possibly perpetrate such inhumane executions.
With the suspects in police custody, the motives and evident causes were clearly established right through the confessions of the perpetrators themselves whom even ended up detailing in national television how the crime took place in its technical terms. In whatever way people look at murder from varying angles, the impact nowadays apparently does not anymore inherit the same degree of distress for a common Filipino looking at the same tragedy way back two decades past. What would linger sensibly the most, is the manner how such crime is meticulously hatched to its full perpetration.
While dissenting opinions pooled in all together to explore and assess all the essential merits of the crime, one factual issue that would stand strong in any progressive case discussions is that this indeed is what professionals would call – A Hate Crime...
