A 15-year-old boy in Angono, Rizal, who was stabbed by his own father on Saturday, is now in stable condition and recovering, according to police reports.
On Saturday, April 4, 2026, a tragic family violence incident occurred in Angono, Rizal, where a father attacked his own family. The incident took place at their home in Sta. Isabel Subdivision, Barangay Mahabang Parang. The suspect, identified as Jeremy Santos, allegedly stabbed his wife Maria Lourdes Santos (45) to death with a fatal neck wound, and seriously injured their 15-year-old son who sustained stab wounds to the neck and chest. The attack happened while the teenage victim was asleep, and he pretended to be dead before checking on his younger 12-year-old brother who was unharmed. Both boys managed to escape and alert subdivision guards who called the police.
According to police reports from Angono Police Chief Lt. Col. Ariel Azurin, the suspect stopped his attack when he noticed the younger child waking up. After the violent episode, Jeremy Santos also stabbed himself and is currently recovering in hospital. The police investigation indicates that financial problems, including debts for home and vehicle mortgages, likely triggered the attack. The suspect is expected to face criminal charges once he recovers from his self-inflicted injuries.
The 15-year-old victim is now in stable condition and recovering from his injuries. Police confirmed that the teenager sustained serious stab wounds but managed to survive the attack. The younger brother, identified as Kyle (12 years old), was not physically harmed during the incident. The victims' family has declined to comment on the matter, and the case remains under investigation by Angono police authorities.
This domestic violence tragedy has shocked the Angono community, highlighting the severe consequences of financial stress on family dynamics. The police continue their investigation while the suspect remains hospitalized, awaiting formal charges for the death of his wife and the attempted murder of his son. The incident serves as a grim reminder of the importance of mental health support and financial counseling services for families under economic pressure.
