American shot dead in Silay City bar after refusing to buy two men beer

[Chris Duffy 1,257]

This seems to be a common theme in Philippines:

 

The family of an American gunned down in a Silay City bar has launched an appeal to repatriate his body and complete the adoption of his son.

As we reported yesterday, Erik Hendrickson was shot dead on Tuesday evening after he refused to buy a beer for two strangers. 

According to a police report, after the 57-year-old refused the request the two men started to insult him in local dialect, which Mr Hendrickson understood.

Fresh reports suggest that after only a very brief row, the victim walked away from the bar but was followed by his attackers who shot him several times in the head.

 

The suspects were arrested just minutes later and have been named as Gilbert Apellido, aged 40, and his 18-year-old nephew Neil Brian Corseno.

 

Hendrickson, from Iowa, was in Silay to work on obtaining papers to adopt an orphan boy, named Jeremiah, and give him a new life in America.

Now his niece Heather Nemec has launched a gofundme appeal to raise $15,000 dollars.

She said: “My aunt and uncle had always wanted children but due to issues beyond their control they were unable to conceive.  

“So they turned towards adoption in my aunt’s birthplace in the Philippines where they fell in love with a little boy who was given up at birth, they named him Jeremiah.  

“Erik and Vicky loved Jeremiah so much but to get him here they needed one of them to stay behind to be able to do the legal adoption via Philippines’ adoption processes.”

She described the family’s shock at Mr Hendrickson’s murder, and said they were still trying to obtain an accurate official account of exactly what happened.

She continued: “Now Jeremiah’s adoptive mother is now scrambling to get him adopted by herself and left having to deal with the unexpected murder of her husband half way across the world.

“I am asking for help for my aunt and for Jeremiah who is in the middle of the adoption process. Bringing Erik home will cost almost $8,000, paying for a funeral will be thousands more.  

“Thank you for anything you can spare. Any money raised will go towards funeral expenses, bringing Erik home, legal fees incurred by the murder, full adoption of Jeremiah and help towards Erik’s widowed wife.”

I read about this yesterday actually and I had to look at multiple news outlets to find the full story of what happened.

 

Basically the Kano was at the bar drinking, they asked him to buy them some beer because all of us Kanos are rich. He said "No" to them and they start insulting him in Illongo  which he understands supposedly(this I found really weird), they get into a altercation and he gets shot 3 times in the head.

 

I don't think this child is adopted at all but that's another issue by itself. But anyway this is why when I drink I usually only drink around family members when I am out in the Philippines.

Almost as bad as sitting in jail for months or years on end with no charge.

This is sad. The guy was there to help a local child by adopting him so the child can have a better life. Don't these people there see how bad this makes them look? What if foreigners stop vacationing/ visiting there? It would cause a big financial loss to the economy.

 

Just venting.

AMEN.  I hope it was worth it for them...  It is a beautiful place but like anywhere else in the world, you always have to be aware of your surroundings.

It isn't just foreigners that need to be watchful

MANILA, Philippines — A maid and her lover have been arrested and charged for the killing of a medical school dean at her home in Las Piñas City on May 11.

Domestic helper Juvy Bandoy Acero, 43, and her partner of nearly two years, Dindo Legario, 39, allegedly conspired with another man, identified only as “Rodel,” to rob Dr. Harivelle Hernando, 62, the dean of the University of Perpetual Help System Dalta’s school of medicine, according to a police report.

For sure

 

I have been traveling to PI going on 12 years now. I never drink with strangers or people I just met.  I am very selective they must be family members or close long time friends.

 

Many male guys simply hate foreigners, the hate is hidden until they get drunk and then the resentment can show.  Why the hate?  Many reasons which I suspect most already know.
