In September 1995, Felipe and Evelyn Pestaño were anticipating the return of their son Philip who was working on board the BRP Bacolod. Their son was a young cargo officer in the Philippine Navy. What was supposed to be a heartwarming welcome turned into a bitter and tragic realisation that Philip had apparently died on board the navy ship under very suspicious circumstances. What followed were years of agony, legal battles and disappointment after disappointment for the Pestaño family.

Head to your favourite podcasting platforms now and listen to learn more about this case.

***LagimFam, this is the season finale for season 4. Tomorrow, August 31st, the season opener for Season 5 will be dropped, so keep an eye out for that.

"The Dutertes’ political muscle, combined with police cowardice, corruption and, to borrow cop jargon, dereliction of duty, have allowed Quiboloy and his allies to mount rallies outside Davao in the past months." https://trib.al/2QikjYH

Gandang araw, LagimFam!

I have this idea for promoting Season 5 but I may need your help. I would love to stitch together short vids of you telling the world why you love Lagim or what you like about it. I wanna put together a montage for a Reel and TikTok, maybe two or three, depending on how many wanna join. I know that not everyone likes to be in front of a cam, so if you are willing to show your face and record a very short vid, this is crowdsourcing call is for you. Let me know in the comsec if you are interested! Daghang salamat!

Hi LagimFam.

Following the publishing of the Reuters investigation into a US military secret campaign to discredit and spread disinformation about Sinovac and China, I tried to summarise the pertinent points of the article plus give some personal thoughts as well.

FACEBOOK is not letting me post the video here, so here is the link the video on Lagim's TikTok:

Mabuhay, LagimFam!

Welcome to the first ever episode of Lagim: After Hours, a semi-regular bonus content series that I am embedding in the regular feed as well as on my YouTube feed.

The episodes are mainly a more freestyle vodcast but I have extracted the audio for the podcat-only audience in case you do not want to watch a video.

There are not a lot of SFX, bits and bobs, we just dive right into the topic and case and see where it leads us.

After Hours will cover smaller cases, cases that are still rather new and developing, cases that do not have lots of info on them in order to make a whole podcast episode out of.

I am also trying to be better with my video editing skills and with uploading other stuff on YouTube, so let us see where this goes.

Our first ever episode focuses on beauty pageant queen Catherine Camilon who recently went missing. As of the time of recording and uploading, she is still missing but there are at least 2 suspects who are currently identified and further 2 who remain unknown, at least to us, the public.

Not Merry Christmas from...Bethlehem.

On the 2nd August 2023, Jerhode Jemboy Baltazar and his friend, Sonny Boy, planned a fishing trip to earn a couple of bucks. The boys set out to first clean their boats before sailing out but as they were minding their business, a group of police officers approached their area in Navotas and opened fire.

Sonny Boy saw his friend fall into the water, only to never surface alive anymore. Another young soul taken by the very authorities tasked to protect and serve Filipinos.

Jemboy's killing ignited discussions around the culture of corruption, violence and impunity within the PNP and how after Duterte's war on drugs, killings of unarmed, mostly poor Filipinos continue. Despite showing themselves as remorseful and willing to prioritise Jemboy's case, cracks would soon be seen that would expose how the police would always protect their own first instead of taking responsibility for their crimes.

Listen now to learn more about this case.

Overseas Filipino Workers or OFWs have long been dubbed as the Philippines' modern-day heroes. They leave family and friends, their comfort zones, their culture and homes behing to try their luck in foreign and far-flung countries, hoping to earn a better living than from the few opportunities offered back home.

In July 2022, Jullebee Cabilis Ranara, a native of Las Piñas decided to try her luck again in Kuwait after a successful stint in Bahrain some years before. In the early days of her stay with her Kuwaiti employer, there had already been signs that Jullebee may not have been entirely safe. Six months later, she would be found dead in a desert and the way she was found sent shockwaves through Kuwait and the Philippines alike.

But here is the thing...Jullebee was not the first and only one who was murdered in Kuwait. She was, in a way, the culmination of a series of deaths that would ultimately make Filipinos question their own government and whether it really was capable of keeping OFWs safe abroad.

Jullebee's story is also the story of Joanna Demafelis, Constancia Lago Dayag and Jeanelyn Villavende. Listen now to learn about all of their stories.

On the 4th March, a group of armed men in military gear entered the residence of Negros Oriental governor Roel Degamo. What looked to be a normal Saturday of meeting his constituents suddenly turned into a nightmare that his family is still living to this very day.

In a matter of days, it became apparent that the killing of Degamo was not just an unfortunate incident. Signs and evidence point at a greater conspiracy to eliminate the governor who may have stood in the way of another family's political ambitions.

Listen now to learn more about this story.
