The botched investigation into the death of a Filipino flight attendant during a New Year’s Eve party has sparked accusations of police incompetence in a case that has gripped public attention, fuelling outrage against a force that has become notorious under the government of President Rodrigo Duterte for summarily arresting and in some cases shooting to death people who have been implicated in crimes without being properly investigated.
The Makati City police in Metro Manila investigating the case at first announced that the victim, Christine Dacera, 23, had been drugged, raped and murdered by her companions as they partied overnight at the City Garden Hotel, violating Covid-19 quarantine restrictions.

Frankie Pangilinan received huge backlash re-tweeting a post containing the name of the suspects in the death of flight attendant Christine Angelica Dacera.
Pangilinan already deleted the post although she still encouraged her followers to remember the names mentioned there.
“I will withhold opinions until further, accurate information is dispersed, but I would like to apologize for the initial impassioned tweets here below… all my other sentiments, however, remain true respect is better than protection, and rape is and always will be terrible,” she wrote.
But Actor-singer Markki Stroem is not satisfied with her explanation, telling Sharon Cuneta’s daughter it is “not enough.”
