The suspect, a 31-year-old man, was immediately apprehended at the scene and is believed by authorities to be suffering from a mental health condition.
The terrifying incident occurred in Barangay Pinagpanaan while the bus, traveling from Aurora province and headed towards Manila, was stationary.
According to reports from the local police, the attack was sudden and completely without warning. The suspect allegedly pulled out a bladed weapon and, for reasons that remain unknown and seemingly arbitrary, launched a brutal assault on the victim, a Manila resident.
The victim sustained devastating injuries, reportedly suffering 14 stab wounds across his neck, chest, and torso.
The viciousness of the unprovoked attack left no chance for the victim; despite the immediate shock and confusion of the other passengers, the victim was quickly transported to a hospital but was tragically pronounced dead on arrival.
The suspect, an Aurora native, was immediately subdued by witnesses and bus personnel and turned over to the local police.
He is currently in custody, where authorities are struggling to obtain a coherent statement, reinforcing the suspicion that his actions may have been driven by an underlying mental health crisis.
The sheer randomness of the violence has sent a chill through the community and raised profound questions about public safety, particularly on crowded modes of transportation.
For the family of the deceased 51-year-old, the grief is compounded by the senseless nature of the loss—a life ended not by a road accident or a known enemy, but by a sudden, inexplicable explosion of violence from a complete stranger.
Police are now working to secure statements from the suspect's relatives to gain insight into his history and possible condition, which will be crucial in determining the appropriate charges and the subsequent legal path.
Authorities are also gathering testimonies from the traumatized bus passengers, aiming to understand the exact sequence of events in the moments leading up to the deadly attack that shattered the peace of their journey.

In other news, a residential subdivision in Angeles City, Pampanga, was disturbed by the explosion of two grenades lobbed at a house on a Friday night. Surveillance footage captured the two suspects, a "riding-in-tandem" pair on a motorcycle, carrying out the attack. No individuals were reported injured, but several parked vehicles sustained damage from the dual blasts. Police have heightened security in the area and are actively investigating the identity of the suspects and the motive for the attack.
Still in other news, a fatal collision between an SUV and an AUV occurred along CP Garcia Avenue in Quezon City. Both drivers were rushed to the hospital but were later pronounced dead. A female passenger from the AUV remains in critical condition. Police said criminal liability no longer applies as both drivers have died, leaving only civil matters to settle.
