It was just past midnight in Pasay City. What should have been another quiet night turned into a terrifying nightmare.
At 12:55 a.m. on Friday, two unidentified men riding a white motorcycle pulled up outside a massage establishment. Armed and ready, they stormed inside. Within seconds, they declared a hold-up.
The suspects took personal belongings from 13 massage therapists. But the crime did not stop there. In an act that left the victims traumatized and the community shaken, two of the women were raped.
Authorities rushed to the scene. The Special District Forensics Unit gathered evidence, carefully examining every detail that could lead to the capture of the attackers.
Meanwhile, tracker teams from the Pasay City Police Station immediately reviewed CCTV footage. They traced the suspects’ possible escape routes, hoping to close in on them before they could vanish.
There was a breakthrough. The victims were able to identify one of the suspects through the police’s e-rogue gallery. The man was known as “Ashley”, a 23-year-old resident of Pasay City.
With this lead, the police launched hot pursuit operations, determined to catch the men responsible and deliver justice to the women whose lives they scarred.
This horrifying incident has once again raised fears about safety in the city—and left many asking how such brutality could happen in the middle of the night.
