Watch: Father Hacks Man With a Bolo for Trespassing, Sleeping Under Daughter’s Bed, CHR Reacts (Video)

A lady in Valenzuela City had a shock of her life after learning that a man was sleeping under her bed. At first, she thought the man was a ghost because she did not see him entering her room and no one has asked her permission. So when the lady told her father about the man, the former hacked him with a bolo. Watch news video below.



"Natakot ako kasi akala ko baka may nagmumulto. Napansin ko yung mga unan ko at stuffed toys nasa lapag po. Kinuha ko yung unan ko tapos nakita ko may ulo ng lalaki. Tapos yun po tumakbo na po ako nagsisigaw na po ako," Rose Ann Flor of Barangay Karuhatan told GMA News reporter Tricia Zafra on Monday, October 30.

According to Rose Ann, she has just finished taking bath at around 2 am that day when she heard loud snoring coming from under her bed. She said she immediately ran outside her room and screamed for help. Her father, Anacleto Flor Jr., got awake and took his bolo and rushed to his daughter's room, and hacked the man multiple times, in his face and body.

The suspect was identified as Paulo Estrada, who has been renting a unit inside the family’s compound for five years. In an interview, Mr. Flor admitted that he hacked Estrada with his bolo to protect his daughter. The stabbing only stopped when a group of barangay tanod responded. They immediately brought the suspect to the nearest hospital.



Estrada, 35, went under Rose Ann’s bed but fell asleep. Authorities said that the suspect was drunk. As of his posting, his motive is not yet clear, but a knife was found in his possession. Meanwhile, the head of Commission on Human Rights (CHR) Valenzuela office condemned the act of the father, and said they will conduct a separate investigation.



“Hindi naman sa kinakampihan namin yung suspect. Kaya lang, bakit kailangang tagain siya ng ama ng babae nang paulit-ulit? Pwede naman siyang tumawag muna ng barangay para naaresto agad yung lalaki. Gaya ng paulit-ulit naming sinasabi, napaka-importante ang pangalagaan ang karapatang pantao, kahit sino ka pa.” Atty. Ronwaldo de Lima said.
