We're entering bad times. Kaya dapat extra precautions should be taken to safeguard yourself and your love ones. Be more vigilant. Criminals are becoming more bolder and more violent...

Suspected burglars killed five people, including a three-year-old girl, and burned down the victims' home in Quezon City Tuesday noon.

Police identified the child as Nina Giao. Her charred body was found with those of her nanny, identified only as "Marie" and maids named "Lian Gloria", and "Joan."

The child's grandmother, Felicidad Giao, 70, died at the Capitol Medical Center, also in Quezon City.

Investigators said the victims died of stab wounds to different parts of their bodies. The child and the maids were also found hogtied.

Police said they thought the victims died in the fire that struck their home at No. 87, Talayan Street in Talayan Village around noon.

Initial forensic examinations, however, showed that the victims were stabbed to death.

Police said a group of burglars forcibly entered the victims' home. The burglars burned down the house after the heist and then escaped.

A radio dzMM report, meanwhile, said the child's grandfather Geronimo Giao, 86, who was also hurt by the burglars, is now out of danger at the hospital.

The old man told police investigators that he knows one of the burglars, the report added.

Investigations were ongoing as of this posting.

Grisly end for 5 QC household members

MANILA, Philippines – Robbers broke into the home of a Chinese-Filipino family in a posh subvidision in Quezon City before noon Tuesday and stabbed six household members, including a three-year-old girl, before setting the house on fire in an apparent attempt to hide the crime.

Only Dr. Geronimo Jiao, 86, survived the attack. He is now undergoing treatment in a hospital for third degree burns.

His wife, Felicitas, 70, who also sustained severe burns, died from multiple stab wounds as she was being treated at the Sta. Teresita General Hospital.

The couple was pulled out by rescuers from the basement of their burning two-story house on Talayan Street, Talayan Village, Sta. Mesa Heights.

Their 3-year-old grandchild, Nina, was killed in the fire, along with the family’s three housemaids. Their bodies were badly burned and hardly recognizable.

The girl, who had been stabbed in the back, was found in the arms of one of the maids who also sustained a stab wound. Lying next to them was the body of another housemaid.

The third housemaid was found inside the bathroom with her left hand nailed to the floor. Her body also bore stab wounds.

SPO2 Jerry Abad of the Quezon City Police District Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit (QCPD-CIDU) identified the three housemaids only as Gloria, Marie and Lean. Their attackers had tied up them up and gagged their mouths with packaging tape.

The robbers then ransacked a vault inside the house and escaped on board a beige Toyota L-300 van, Abad said.

A resident in the area, who asked not to be identified for security reasons, said she saw the van parked across the Jiaos’ house at 11:53 a.m. Tuesday.
She added that Nina, the couple’s grandchild, had just been picked up from school and dropped off by her parents in her grandparents’ house.

A fireman said the explosion came from a liquefied petroleum gas tank whose control valve may have been deliberately left open by the robbers.

QCPD-CIDU investigators are conducting operations for clues to identify the robbers.

Pati pa naman ang buhay nila ay ninakaw. Hindi na ito pararatingin sa husgado kapag itoy nahuli, ibigay nalang nila sa taong mas may karapatang maningil.
