The bodies of two children were discovered inside a car in Barangay San Matias, Santo Tomas, Pampanga, as reported by Jasmine Gabriel-Galban on 24 Oras on Monday. The children, siblings aged five and six, were found in an open parking space 500 meters from their home after concerned citizens alerted the Philippine National Police.
According to the children's mother, Daina Castor, she last saw them on July 6 when she fed them lunch. She assumed they were with their father, who resides in another barangay, and only realized they were missing when she discovered their bodies.
The father, however, stated that he had not taken the children and last saw them in June. He emphasized that he would never take them without informing their mother.
Authorities are investigating the incident. Police Captain Jester Calis, chief of Sto Tomas Police Station, mentioned that there were no immediate signs of foul play, but the Scene of the Crime Operatives (SOCO) are processing the crime scene. "I observe that the remains have a foul smell, so it means they were long dead. The SOCO is investigating the crime scene. We initially found no foul play," Calis said.
The cause of death is yet to be determined, with autopsy results expected on Tuesday.
