One male suspect and another from the LGBTQ community were arrested for offering 5 women to customers in a bar. In a report by TV 5's 'Frontline Tonight,' the suspects were pretending to be customers in a bar, but they were offering the victims to the drinking customers inside.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
