Police are currently conducting follow-up investigations into the brutal slayings, which involved unidentified assailants and left communities reeling from the sudden eruption of violence.
The first victim was identified as Doming, a 75-year-old resident of Buenavista town. According to initial police reports, the septuagenarian was ambushed while walking home when an unknown male suspect suddenly appeared and opened fire, before immediately fleeing the scene.
Doming sustained fatal injuries and was rushed to the Rural Health Unit-Buenavista, where attending medical staff officially pronounced him dead on arrival.
Investigators are looking into a highly sensitive angle related to the victim’s background. Police confirmed that Doming had been previously accused of molestation.
However, the legal proceedings resulted in the dismissal of the case, and he had only been released from custody on September 19—barely 11 days before his untimely death.
This connection has led authorities to probe a possible revenge motive or vigilante-style retribution as the driving force behind the execution-style murder.
The brazen attack, carried out in public as the victim returned home, points to a premeditated act aimed at silencing or punishing the elderly man following his freedom.
In an entirely separate incident the same day, a 54-year-old local vendor named Dante was fatally shot in Sariaya town.
Dante, who was known in the community for regularly selling boiled corn near a local cockpit arena, was reportedly engaging in a conversation with his live-in partner inside their home when an unidentified man called out to him from outside.
The victim stepped out of the residence to speak with the caller, a decision that tragically sealed his fate.
Moments later, gunshots pierced the air. Dante’s horrified live-in partner discovered him lying face down outside their house, lifeless and riddled with multiple bullet wounds.
Crime scene investigators recovered five spent cartridge cases from the vicinity, suggesting the attack was carried out at close range with lethal intent. Police are currently working to establish the vendor's profile, including any potential disputes or grudges that might have led to his violent assassination.
The recovered shells are being processed to identify the type of firearm used and potentially link it to other crimes in the region.
The Philippine National Police in Quezon has launched comprehensive operations to track down the suspects in both incidents.
The seemingly unconnected nature of the two crimes, involving victims with vastly different profiles and potential motives—one a possible target of revenge, the other an ambush on a local vendor—poses a complex challenge to local law enforcement.
Authorities are appealing to the public for any information that could shed light on the identities of the assailants in both the Buenavista and Sariaya killings.
In a separate, unrelated tragedy earlier in the week, a 38-year-old farmer identified as Alvin was killed in an accident in San Andres, Quezon, on Monday afternoon, September 29.
Alvin died after a coconut tree fell on him in Barangay Tala. He was declared dead on arrival at the San Andres Rural Health Unit.
While unrelated to the recent gun violence, his death adds to the difficult week faced by communities in Quezon province, highlighting the various perils—both criminal and natural—that residents confront.

In other news, Senator Ping Lacson posted a cryptic tweet about a “crazy cat” meowing downstairs and an “annoying dog” barking upstairs. Social media users speculated the animals symbolized clashing political figures or ongoing disputes in government. Lacson is known for witty and satirical remarks online, often directed at politics and governance. The post sparked both amusement and curiosity, though Lacson has not clarified its true meaning.
Still in other news, a bus carrying over 40 Grade 1 excursionists caught fire on NLEX in Marilao, Bulacan on Oct. 1. No passengers were injured; the children were safely transferred to another bus. Initial investigation by BFP said the blaze may have started from a rear tire bursting into flames. Passengers recalled smelling smoke and hearing a loud explosion before flames engulfed the bus, causing heavy traffic.
