“Gikuha pod nila ang kwarta nako nga P15 mil,” said the shocked mother of the wounded victims in an interview with CDN Digital this morning.
(They also took cash worth P15,000.)
“Giapil pa gani nila ang coins nga balor og P1 ka libo,” said the mother.
(They even included the coins I saved worth P1,000.)
According to witnesses, the brothers were stabbed in their stomach and other parts of their bodies.
The assailants then fled after robbing the victims’ mother and attacking the brothers with knives.
Witnesses said that the six assailants arrived on two motorcycles and that they covered their faces with pieces of cloth, hiding their identities.
They then proceeded to the two-storey house of the victims, entered the gate, and kicked the door open so they could enter the house.
