On a Saturday night last January 6, 2024, 45-year-old Ryan Ambrosio and 43-year-old Jennifer Ambrosio, a Filipino couple and parents of six children in Michigan, were on their way home from a date night. 

As they were cruising through the Lodge Freeway near the Civic Center Drive in Southfield at around 1:30 am, a vehicle going the wrong way crashed into them, tragically leading to the demise of Ryan and Jen.

The culprit, 35-year-old Angel Melendez-Ortiz, was evading police at the time. In order to lose them, he decided to drive on the wrong side of the freeway with the headlights of his stolen vehicle turned off.

It is when he tragically collided with the vehicle of the Ambrosios, seriously injuring himself and his 29-year-old unnamed female companion.

As you probably heard, 35-year-old Jullebee Ranara, a Filipina who had to move to Kuwait to make ends meet and support her family as a domestic worker, was brutally killed in 2023.

She was tortured, raped, and murdered. As if this grueling ordeal was not enough, Jullebee's heartless perpetrator even burnt her body, threw his victim in the desert, and ran her over with a vehicle.

Based on a report from Vice World News, there are over 268,000 Filipinos currently working in Kuwait, most of which consist of domestic workers. 

The Kafala system governs migrant workers in Kuwait, and various human rights group says that the Kafala system is a legal framework utilized in most Gulf states that authorizes employers to have full control over the legal status of migrant workers. 

Unfortunately, Jullebee Ranara's gruesome murder is not the first incident that happened to a Filipino in Kuwait. This recent incident appears to have caused a ton of frustration in how the Kuwaitis view less of Filipinos. It is unacceptable and should not be tolerated by the international community.

There have been infamous crimes in the Philippines that have happened during the holiday season.

A particular case that comes to mind is the heartless killing of mother-and-son Sonya and Frank Gregorio from Tarlac. Former policeman Jonel Nuezca had a verbal altercation with the Gregorios after the former policeman was arresting Frank for illegal possession of "Boga," an improvised noisemaker cannon. Sonya, his mother, came to her son's aid, and the altercation with Nuezca promptly escalated.

Nuezca ended up shooting both victims, and it became one of the most infamous crimes in 2020.

Three holiday seasons later, we noticed two separate peculiar cases that happened during the week of Christmas 2023 and New Year 2024.

What's bizarre about these cases was the gruesome nature that the two victims had gone through on separate occasions, where the culprits behind their killings beheaded the victims.

Given that these gruesome cases are similar, we decided to cover both crimes in one episode, a first of its kind in our show.

Violence in Philippine politics, especially in this modern era, has been a serious issue that has continued to hinder the country's path to political maturity, therefore raising more doubts about an ineffective justice system that is slow and, in other instances, can be bought by influential and powerful clans.

However, the subject of our episode today involves a troubled medical professional who went to great lengths to seek revenge.

On July 24, 2022, in what was supposed to be one of the most eventful occasions a family could have in their lifetime, former Lamitan City Mayor Rose Furigay was attending her daughter Hannah's law school graduation at Ateneo De Manila University.

Bypassing campus security was Dr. Chao-Tiao Yumol, who was armed with a .45-caliber pistol, managed to get close to his target and ended up killing the former mayor, her executive assistant, Victor George Capistrano, and a campus security guard, Jeneven Bandiala, who risked his life attempting to stop the assailant.

The former mayor's daughter, Hannah, was also shot but was able to survive.

Happy Halloween to all of you guys! It is the time of the year when most of us get to watch or listen to horror films, shows, and podcasts. 

Indeed, there is a lot of content out there to consume, and chances are you have probably stumbled upon this podcast because it's Halloween Season.

Let us tell you a horrific crime that happened in 2018. Some would say this is a lesser-known story, but to us, this case is by far one of the most gruesome stories that this show has covered.It involves murder, mutilation, and cannibalism. And you know what's the worst part? The horrific nature of this case truly happened in real life.

In March 2018, residents of Barangay Holy Spirit, Quezon City, informed authorities after witnessing 43-year-old Orlando Estrera, soaked in blood, throwing mutilated body parts out of their house.

Once the police arrived, they discovered that the victim was the suspect's wife, 46-year-old Heidi Estrera.

Orlando Estrera was promptly detained at the Quezon City jail, and what he told the authorities would probably not make you sleep at night.

On March 11, 2019. Christine Silawan, a 16-year-old high school student, was found dead in a vacant lot in Lapu-Lapu City, Cebu. 

Half of her face was skinned to the skull, her body was stabbed twenty times, and she had signs of sexual assault. 

The gruesome nature that Christine Silawan endured from her killer sparked nationwide outrage, which led to various groups urging the government to reinstate the death penalty.

If you're on Spotify, we would like to know your thoughts on this in the polls.

Richard Sta. Ana, a father and loving husband, sought justice for his wife, Pearl, and their son, Baby Denzel, after two assailants brutally killed them by mercilessly bludgeoning their heads at their residence in Sta. Rosa, Laguna.

As the investigators looked for answers, they surprisingly found out that the person behind the gruesome murder was someone they already knew from the start who was holding a grudge because of jealousy.

This case in 2016 might have been one of the most overlooked murder cases ever. 

A mother and her baby boy were gruesomely murdered on a typical afternoon inside their residence. It is not something we get to hear or read on the news on a daily basis.

Chop-chop body cases in the Philippines are one of the most discussed topics in true crime, especially here in the Philippines. 

Most fans of our show would send us episode requests through DMs and polls urging us to cover more chop-chop body cases. 

In fact, our episodes relating to body dismemberments, particularly the gruesome murders of Lyndon Masinsin in 2017 and Elsa Castillo in 1993, were among the most played episodes in our library. 

Now, another chop-chop lady case has caught our attention, and it happened recently.

On June 9, 2023, dismembered body parts, such as the head, arms, and legs of a woman, were found by scavengers under a bridge and in a ravine in Barangay Dela Paz, Antipolo City.

Subsequently, authorities found the victim's remaining body parts in a ravine in Barangay San Jose, 10 kilometers from where the victim was first seen.

Air disasters are one of the most heartbreaking tragedies that will always catch our attention. Probably you've heard of numerous of these cases, such as the infamous 9/11 terrorist attack on the US World Trade Center, the mysterious disappearance of Malaysia Airlines Flight 370, and many others.

Such incidents make us wonder are there plane-related tragedies that have also happened in the Philippines?

Sadly, there is. 

On April 19, 2000, Air Philippines Flight 541 from Manila, bound for Davao City, crashed in a coconut plantation on Samal Island near the plane's destination. 

All 131 people on board, including passengers and the aircraft's seven-member crew, died, making this catastrophic incident by far the worst air disaster in the Philippines.

Our show usually features cases where the victim is already confirmed dead. While plenty of tragic cases still need to be told, a specific case caught our attention. 

The incident happened on November 1, 2018, in Atimonan, Quezon, where the victim, Roger Herrero, a pedicab driver from the town of Agdangan, was falsely accused of a crime he didn't commit.

Rogue policemen hunted down Roger, bringing him to a dark area in Atimonan, an hour away from Agdangan. From there, Roger was forced to admit to various robbery cases in his town, but the policemen ended up shooting him in the head. 

Roger, who was lying in a pool of his blood at the time, had to play dead till the rogue policemen left. Miraculously, the gunshot to his head wasn't fatal enough to kill him.
