Pilot mauled dead outside Fort Bonifacio bar
MANILA, Philippines -- A 34-year-old international pilot was mauled to death by seven men during a brawl near the Embassy Bar in Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City early Thursday morning.
But police learned that it was not Carlo Jose Castellano, reportedly a part-time pilot, who was the actual target of the suspects but his friend, Zedrick Ponce.
Ponce, 34, who was rushed to the Rizal Medical Center, survived the attack, but Castellano was pronounced dead on arrival at the Makati Medical Center at around 5:32 a.m. by Dr. Marie Mendoza.
Police stationed at the Embassy Bar and a nearby precinct arrested the seven suspects and their two female companions.
Chief Inspector Celso Rodriguez of the criminal investigation section identified the suspects as Edmer Antonin, 22 of Pasay City; Edmund Quirante, 25; Rolly Quirante, 37; Marvin Matias, 28; Wilfred Quirante, 23; Julius Quirante, 20; Joseph Quirante, 26, all from Quezon City.
Their two female companions aboard a silver Mitsubishi Adventure (ZEE 715) were also arrested and identified as Michelle Quirante, 27, and Rowena Sitchon, 20, both of Quezon City.
The nine suspects are facing possible charges of homicide and physical injuries before the Taguig City Prosecutors Office.
Rodriguez said Castellano was an international pilot and a 1995 graduate of the Philippine Military Academy.
He said the victim was a pinch hitter for airlines and did not work for any particular company.
Investigator Senior Police Officer 2 Gracio Cangco said at around 4:45 a.m., Castellano and Ponce came out of the bar and were walking to the parking lot when the suspects' van stopped in front of them.
The seven men then alighted from the vehicle and accosted Ponce and Castellano.
Rodriguez said earlier, Ponce had accidentally bumped some of the suspects inside the restroom of the Embassy Bar, apparently angering them.
"The suspects allegedly waited for the victims to leave the bar, but it was Ponce whom they bumped into," the police officer said in a phone interview.
The seven men then beat up Castellano and Ponce as the two women remained in the vehicle.
Policemen at the Embassy Bar were able to block the vehicle as the suspects attempted to escape.
