Suicide at Taft Vito Cruz last night.

Last night daw eh may nagsuicide daw sa may Taft Vito Cruz. Tumalon daw sa 20th floor ng isang building at bumagsak sa LRT Tracks. And i think ata, eh nasagasaan pa ng LRT.

Ayon sa kwento sakin, Yung nagsuicide daw eh dahil sa girlfriend ata. Hindi daw kasi tanggap ng family. so ayun, nagpakamatay.

Some say the suicidal daw is Lasalista, pero sabi nung friend ko, Tiga AMA. nabalita na ata to sa tv. pero share ko lang.

Suicide stalls railway travel on Taft Avenue

A man jumped to his death from the top of a 26-floor building yesterday early evening, landing on the tracks of Light Rail Transit 1 near the Vito Cruz Station.

Police said Paulo Javier, 20, a student of AMA College, leaped from Catle building 6:15 p.m., stopping north- and southbound trips, stranding thousands of commuters.

“It was compounded by the slow response of the Soco,” said LRT Administrator Mel Robles, referring to the scene of crime operatives, who did a detailed investigation, unmindful of the stalled train coaches filled with passengers who were rushing home.

Chief Insp. Alejandro Yanquiling, Manila Police Homicide chief, said Javier was with her girlfriend Stacy Ann Ibay, a San Beda student, when he decided to take his life over a domestic problem.

The couple’s families did not approve of their relationship, he added.

“Ibay recounted that [when] she was not able to convince her boyfriend not to jump she tried to call for help, particularly the guards on duty,” said Yanquiling, noting that the man had leaned over the edge when they came.

Investigators said the suicide reeked of liquor even as they were still verifying how the pair managed to slip into the high-rise and reach the roof deck.

Ibay told probers that her boyfriend know somebody in the building. Javier’s body was was mangled as it hit the building’s side while hurtling down. Jing Villamente
