condition latest, Four men attacked and robbed a student leader inside
a student council office of the University of the Philippines Diliman
on Wednesday.
Lordei Camille Anjuli Hina, who is secretary-general of UP Center for
Nationalist Studies and a fourth year political science major, is now
in critical condition, Yahoo! Southeast Asia has learned.
Student newspaper Philippine Collegian reported Hina was stabbed with
an ice pick just above the left temple, fracturing her skull and
knocking her unconscious.
The report said the UP Diliman police have arrested one of the
suspects, a certain Carlo Pecayo who will face charges of robbery and
frustrated homicide.
Pecayo's three accomplices are still at large, the report added.
The police recovered Hina's bag, two laptops, and ice pick from the suspect.
According to Hina's friend who was with the victim before the attack,
the suspects introduced themselves as tattoo artists and would like to
apply for a booth in the upcoming UP Fair.
The two students gave the number of the officer-in-charge for the fair
booths to the suspects but Pecayo insisted that he would just wait for
the OIC outside the office, the Collegian report noted.
Hina, left alone at the office, reportedly sent text messages to her
friend asking for help.
"Umakyat ka na rito. Andito na naman si kuya. Ang dami niyang tanong,
hindi ko naman alam," read one of the text messages as quoted in the
student paper.
When Hina's friend returned to the office, the victim was already
sprawled on the floor, her face and upper body drenched in blood.
The Collegian reported that UP is beefing up its security measures
inside the campus.
