Man in Tanay Loses His Life After Being Stabbing w/ Banana Cue Stick
A man loses his after being beaten and stabbed with a banana cue stick during a violent confrontation in Barangay Kay-buto, Tanay, Rizal.
On Sunday afternoon, February 1, 2026, a man died from severe injuries following an attack involving a father and his son. The tragic incident left a family mourning the sudden loss of a loved one.
Based on the investigation by the Tanay Municipal Police, the conflict reportedly started days earlier. Tension grew after the victim allegedly ordered one of the suspects, a 28-year-old tricycle driver, to secure a motorcycle chain.
“Pinapakabit niya po sa akin, hindi ako sumunod. Tinadyakan po ako bigla tapos inambahan ako ng saksak,” the suspect said.
When the order was not followed, an argument broke out that later turned physical. The issue remained unresolved, and emotions continued to simmer.
The victim and the suspect’s 50-year-old father crossed paths along Macarulay Street. The heated exchange quickly escalated into a violent clash. Authorities said the victim was armed with a bladed weapon, while the older suspect carried a banana cue stick.
During the struggle, the son rushed in to help his father, and the situation spiraled out of control.
The victim suffered deep stab wounds to the neck and chest. He was rushed to the hospital but was declared dead on arrival. The father and son were also injured during the fight, sustaining wounds to different parts of their bodies.
Both were later taken into police custody, with the father arrested at a hospital and the son captured in a follow-up operation in Pililla, Rizal.
The suspects claimed they were only trying to defend themselves, saying the father acted to protect his son. Despite this claim, authorities filed murder charges against them as the investigation continued.
The two suspects are currently detained at the Tanay Police custodial facility. Meanwhile, the victim’s remains are being laid to rest at their family home. The victim’s family chose not to speak publicly about the incident.
