KILL PEDRO

There's this interesting story i stumbled upon while i was inside the womens' prisons in mandaluyong (the one near the mental hospital).  Not that i was an inmate ha.

It is a testament that truth really is more shocking and stranger than fiction and how micro myself seems to be in this world because there are a lot of things happening in this country... well, lets's zoom it in... a lot of things hapenning in a marriage... a lot of things happening in a woman fooled by her husband... and lot more things hapenning when you see your husband naked on top of a woman and you holding a double edged knife...

Aling nene, got 15 years for a triple murder and infanticide. She stabbed her husband 18 times, the mistress 2 times--- one in the throat and one in the belly--- the mistress's mother 8 times.  The infanticide part was the one she regretted because she didn't know that the mistress was pregnant. And this was done by a former yaya of priests in seminaries. 

You see, he had it coming, his 18 stabs.  He was lazy and she, at 12 years old, had bought her own truck. Because at a young age, she was a very responsible girl. They got married when she was 15 years old, a year short of her menstrual period

 Then Pedro had an affair with another girl whose studies he paid for. It was ok for Aling nene. Not until her bentilador disappeared and then her truck that she got when she was still 12 years old. Then she woke up and her house has been sold and she had some guy knocking her door ordering her to vacate the house and leave nothing. Naloka talaga si Aling Nene. Paggisisng mo wala ka nang bahay.

And that's when she tried to talk it out peacefully. She went to their lovenest and saw the mother of the mistress tending to her carinderia. She went by sana to eat but then her blood curdled when she saw her kitchen knife being used to chop other people's vegetables. She even commented the beauty of the knife as she was a kitchen lover herself but, alas, she saw her name on the handle. Pati ba naman kutsilyo ko sa bahay nasa kanila.

She got the knife and went inside the house. She opened a curtain that divided a room and lo! Fornication right before her eyes and kitchen knife right in her hands.

Then she started a killing spree.

She got a good 15 years. And right now she's in Baclaran selling food stuff for churchgoers. She's been free for 15 years as well.

Funny thing is, we were laughing while she was recounting her story. My eyes were much rounder with delight and amazement. And she said she never really thought of killing anybody. I said me too. Haha!

Then she married her exboyfriend at 45. And you see, an old vendor near a church can have as much as life can throw at her.
