As confirmed by police authorities, the victims were both from Purok 5, Barangay Bangcud.

The victims were a 52-year-old woman and her 57-year-old husband, who was identified as a tractor operator, based on a report by TV5's 'Frontline Pilipinas Weekend.'

In the Philippines, "riding-in-tandem" refers to two people riding a motorcycle together, usually with one driving and the other sitting at the back.

This term has become commonly associated with crimes, especially when suspects use motorcycles to quickly escape after committing illegal acts like theft, robbery, or shootings.

The back rider is often the one who carries out the crime, while the driver helps in the getaway.

Due to the rise in such cases, "riding-in-tandem" has become a serious security concern in many parts of the country.

In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school 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.
