The family of the 46-year-old man killed in a viral stabbing and shooting inside a computer shop in Tondo, Manila, received cash and burial assistance from the city government after seeking help over an alleged P60,000 charge from a private funeral home.

Manila North Cemetery (MNC) Director Daniel Tan personally assisted the bereaved family, who could not afford the amount, and coordinated the transfer of the remains under the city’s assistance program.

According to Tan, the family approached the cemetery office for assistance, prompting immediate coordination to transfer the remains and provide support under the city’s assistance program.

It was also noted that the said funeral home had incomplete permits and was still processing documents required for full operation.

The victim’s remains were subsequently transferred, with Tan overseeing the arrangements.

Burial and wake expenses were shouldered by the local government under Mayor Francisco “Isko Moreno” Domagoso's aid initiative.

Police said the victim sustained at least 35 stab wounds and a gunshot wound, which led to his death during the April 13 incident inside a computer shop in Barangay 105, Tondo.

The suspects, a father and son, earlier surrendered to the Manila Police District (MPD) and underwent inquest proceedings. They claimed self defense when they were presented to Mayor Domagoso. 

Meanwhile, authorities continue to investigate the incident, which has gone viral on social media following the circulation of CCTV footage of the attack.
