A jeepney barker died this week after a lawyer smashed him in the head with a pipe for allegedly disrespecting the lawyer’s daughters and granddaughters.
Joselito Macario, a 51-year-old jeepney barker, died from being hit on the head by Augusto Marte, a 67-year-old lawyer. Macario was reportedly hanging out with friends on Extremadura Street in the Sampaloc district when Marte passed by.
Marte came back a few minutes later and whacked Macario with a pipe.
Macario’s friends broke the fight up and he supposed to file a complaint against Marte at the barangay hall when he passed out and eventually died.
Pilipino Star Ngayon reports Marte’s wife said her husband was angry at Macario and other loiterers in the area for allegedly disrespecting his daughters and granddaughters.
