Mercy Joy Chipada, daughter of victim Nehemias Chipada, said her father was recuperating at the Northern Mindanao Medical Center after surgery on his left arm. On Nov. 10, Chipada, along with family members, went to Amaya View, a mountain resort in Barangay Indahag that overlooks the city’s urban district, to celebrate his birthday.

Recently, an elderly woman was reported as "missing" from Home Away Nursing Home. After an extended effort to locate her, the woman was found deceased in the freezer of Home Away. Surveillance footage captured a food service worker at the nursing facility, Jim, exiting the freezer and carelessly propping the door to the freezer open with a wheelchair before walking away from the freezer. It appears that the elderly woman sat in the wheelchair, rolled into the freezer and the freezer closed behind her locking from the outside. In initial efforts to escape from the freezer, the elderly woman found a pulled lever attached to a gas valve detaching it and releasing gas into the nursing facility.

The Karl’s store strongly condemn their employees to eat, drink or smoke within their stores premises. Jessica was therefore surprised to walk into her laundry store and finding two of the employee shaving lunch at the front counter.
