The witness, Em Sy, described the scene, stating, “Nasa harapan ko ‘yung jeep na ‘yun, ‘yung pinasukan ng mga bata. May binanatan sila doon sa loob ng jeep eh.”
The witness also expressed concern regarding one of the youths, who appeared to be carrying an unidentified object, potentially a weapon.
“‘Yung isa, may dala, ‘di mo alam kung baril o pen gun. May hawak kasi ‘yung bata, ‘di mo alam baka makadamay pa ng ibang inosente,” they added.
The violent incident caused several passengers to disembark from the jeepney. Barangay Unang Sigaw Public Safety team leader, Dennis Delos Reyes, reported that they immediately pursued the group of youths following the assault, but they managed to escape.
However, through the circulating video, five of the minors were identified and apprehended on Thursday.
Investigations revealed that the assault was motivated by revenge and jealousy. It was discovered that the assaulted couple had ties to a group from Malabon allegedly involved in an ice pick attack against one of the assailants.
“‘Yung nakarating sa aming report, dahil doon sa kabataan na hinagod daw ng ice pick doon sa area ng Apolonio Samson. Then nagkaroon ng sumubungan sa mga kaibigan para sila gumanti. Then ang nasabi din sa aming report kanina, dahil sa mga selosan dahil sa mga syota-syota nila, tsaka inggitan doon sa grupo nila,” Delos Reyes explained.
The five apprehended youths, aged between 13 and 17, are to be placed under the care of the Social Services Development Department.
Delos Reyes acknowledged the challenges posed by such disturbances in their barangay and emphasized their commitment to maintaining security and enforcing curfew regulations.
They have increased the frequency of their roving hours, and those youths that are caught breaking curfew are given community service within the barangay.
Local officials have issued a renewed call to parents, urging them to closely monitor their children to prevent their involvement in criminal activities and ensure their safety.
This act of violence has caused concern for the safety of the citizens within Quezon City.
