A male individual sustained multiple stab wounds after allegedly being attacked by three of his co-workers in a parking lot in Barangay Singcang Airport, Bacolod City.

Jealousy is being investigated as the primary motive behind the violent incident.

The stabbing, which left the victim with injuries to various parts of his body, occurred at the parking area of the victim’s workplace in Barangay Singcang Airport.

While the exact date of the incident was not specified in the initial Balitanghali report from GMA Regional TV, it was covered on Tuesday, May 20, 2025.

Following the attack, the victim is reportedly recuperating at a relative's home, having declined to provide a statement to authorities.

Police investigations indicate that the victim, identified in some reports as a 29-year-old call center agent named “Bret,” was ambushed by the three suspects.

Reports from Bombo Radyo Bacolod specify that the victim was allegedly stabbed multiple times with a pocketknife, sustained wounds including a slashed lip extending towards his ear, and cuts on his forehead, after his head was bashed with a glass bottle.

The incident reportedly took place around 2:00 AM.

Police Captain Greeky Cayao, chief of Bacolod City Police Station 8, stated that jealousy fueled the assault.

It is suspected that the victim had a relationship with the former partner of one of the suspects, identified as “Ajay.”

Ajay and his former partner reportedly have a child together but are already separated. Police accounts suggest there had been prior confrontations and fistfights that escalated into the stabbing.

Authorities are actively pursuing the three assailants, who are now facing charges of frustrated hom1cide.

Despite the ongoing manhunt, the suspects remain at large. Police visited the alleged residences of the suspects but found no one.

Police Captain Cayao mentioned that two of the three suspects were also former colleagues of the victim at the call center.

The police are urging the suspects to surrender voluntarily, emphasizing that this could potentially lead to a reduced sentence.

The incident underscores the complexities of personal disputes escalating into severe violence within the workplace or among acquaintances.

The victim’s family has maintained silence regarding the incident, further indicating the sensitive nature of the alleged motive.

This case highlights the ongoing efforts of Bacolod City police to address and investigate violent crimes, particularly those stemming from interpersonal conflicts.

The priority for law enforcement remains the apprehension of the suspects to ensure justice for the victim and maintain peace and order in the community.
