Meanwhile, the neighbor and others sustained minor injuries while struggling to stop the attack.
He reportedly had a long-standing anger toward his nephew and other family members.
Before attacking the neighbor, he had already killed his nephew in the same house.
Family members said that arguments between the uncle and nephew were frequent, but no one expected them to turn deadly.
Authorities confirmed that the suspect has been arrested and is now facing murder and frustrated murder charges.
Police and barangay officials secured the scene to prevent further harm, and authorities are still working to get a statement from the suspect.
Family members expressed shock and sadness over the crime, noting that the suspect had a history of aggression and previous incidents that were never fully reported.
They emphasized that violence can happen even at home and that the suspect must be held accountable for his actions.
In the Philippines, killing a relative can be classified as murder or parricide, depending on the relationship.
Parricide applies if the victim is a spouse, parent, child, or legitimate/adopted stepchild, and carries the same severe penalties as murder.
Killing other relatives, like nephews or cousins, is usually considered murder, especially if done with intent or using aggravating circumstances such as a weapon or premeditation.
Attempted killings are charged as frustrated murder or parricide.

In an earlier local report from KAMI, a family of three was mercilessly shot and killed inside their store in Barangay Mallorca, San Leonardo, Nueva Ecija. CCTV footage showed three men entering the store, closing the roll-up door, and then shooting the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspects took a bag and a cellphone belonging to the victims. According to Gary De Leon of TV5 Frontline Pilipinas, the family began receiving threats after they lent ₱1 million to a resident in their barangay, who reportedly used 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. Based on EJ Gomez’s report in Unang Balita, the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school’s faculty room. Police said the school had a security guard, but because the suspect was a familiar face, he was able to enter and leave easily. The suspect claimed he went there to talk to his wife and fix their marital issues, but the meeting ended in a violent argument.
