A 19-year-old woman tragically died after refusing to get back together with her former partner, who then stabbed her in Cebu City.

According to GMA Regional TV’s report on “Balitanghali” this Thursday, the victim was still able to call for help from her neighbors, prompting rescuers to respond quickly.

Unfortunately, she was declared dead on arrival at the hospital.

Based on authorities’ statements, the motive behind the crime may have been the victim’s refusal to reconcile with the suspect.

Prior to the incident, the victim had ended their relationship reportedly because the suspect was abusive.

The family of the victim has yet to release a statement regarding the incident.

Meanwhile, the 22-year-old suspect remains at large and is still being pursued by the police.

In the Philippines, homicide is treated as a serious criminal offense under the Revised Penal Code.

It refers to the unlawful killing of a person without qualifying circumstances like evident premeditation or cruelty, which would otherwise classify it as murder.

Homicide carries a lighter penalty compared to murder, but it still involves imprisonment. The usual punishment for homicide is reclusion temporal, which means imprisonment ranging from 12 to 20 years.

The exact length of imprisonment depends on the circumstances of the crime, including any mitigating or aggravating factors presented during the trial.

If proven guilty, the offender must serve time in prison and may also be required to pay damages to the victim’s family.

Caught by CCTV, three men entered their store, closed the roll-up door, and shot the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspects even grabbed a bag and a mobile phone from the victim. 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.
