On March 17, Vina shared photos of Killua, saying  “mahal na mahal ko yan we found his lifeless body inside a sack.”  According to a post, around 5:40 to 5:50 am as soon as the owner woke up, Killua reported missing. Vina justifies that their gate was locked and that can’t be a reason why the dog got out, after posting a CCTV footage of a man chasing a dog, the same man named Anthony Solares who brutally killed Killua. In one of the interview in ONE News, he argued that the intent of his action was all for self-defense, because the dog was wild and aggressive. He added that he had no choice but to kill the dog, to prevent it from biting people. “ginawa ko lang po ‘yung nararapat”  Solares said.           

  Umani ng atensyon at simpatya mula sa publiko ang hindi makatarungang sanhi ng pagkamatay ni Killua, isang 3-taong golden retriever na isinako matapos itong walang awang patayin ng isang lalaki nitong ika-17 ng Marso, 2024 sa Bato, Camarines Sur. Photo source: Vina Rachelle Arazas Photo source: Isang Tasang Kape Ang umano’y pangangagat at hindi normal na pagkilos ng aso ang itinuturong puno’t-dulo ng nagawang krimen ng lalaki na kinilala bilang kapitbahay ng amo ni Killua. Taliwas naman sa pahayag na ito, makikita sa CCTV footage na kuha sa harap ng bahay ng nasabing may-ari na si Vina, ang paghabol ng lalaki sa aso kasabay ang paghagupit niya rito gamit ang isang patpat na kahoy. "And if nangagat man, it is not enough reason to kill my pet." Iyan naman ang daing ni Vina sa isang Facebook post tungkol sa itinuturong dahilan ng lalaki.  Dahil sa nagviral na hashtag na ito, umalingawngaw ang issue ng iba't-ibang

E-bike na nakaparada sa "bawal pumarada" sinita.

Aniya, hindi naman na pumalag ang nasabing e-bike rider kaya mabilis na natapos ang usapan. Samantala, matatandaang napag uusapan na kung dapat na bang bigyan ng lisensya ang mga gumagamit ng e-bike. Para kay Mr Oppa TV, “dapat na rin na magkaroon sila ng lisensya dahil parehas na din naman sila[ng] gumagamit ng pampublikong kalsada.” Para na rin sa kaligtasan ng lahat, dapat na magkaroon sila ng seminar kung ano ang dapat na gawin pag nagmamaneho sa pampublikong kalsada, dagdag pa niya. Sa nagdaang panahon kapansin-pansin ang paglobo ng bilang ng mga gumagamit ng e-bike bilang pang serbis sa trabaho, pamalengke pati na rin serbis sa

Mga 1-year na rin siguro nung umpisa niya akong tulungan sa mga gawaing bahay,” he recalls. From there, Bron’s altruism grew.
