Police identified the victims only by their aliases, **“Makoy,” 26, and “Telay,” 26**, with Telay described as a public school teacher in the area. The alleged attacker was identified by police as **“Pablo,” Telay's uncle**. Authorities were still hunting for the suspect and investigating what triggered the attack. ## Attack happened inside the couple's home According to the initial investigation by the **Sibonga Police Station**, the incident unfolded inside the residence of the victims. Police said Makoy was allegedly stabbed first. Telay then reportedly tried to intervene and protect her partner. But she was also stabbed. Both victims sustained injuries and were rushed to the **Carcar City District Hospital** for medical treatment. ## Teacher allegedly stabbed while trying to intervene The case has drawn particular attention because the female victim was reportedly injured while attempting to stop the attack on her live-in partner. What began as an attack allegedly directed at Makoy quickly turned into an assault involving both members of the household. Police have not publicly released details on: - The severity of the victims' injuries - What happened before the stabbing - Whether there had been a previous conflict - Why the suspect allegedly targeted the couple Those questions remain part of the ongoing investigation. ## Police launch hunt for woman's uncle Following the incident, authorities launched a **hot-pursuit operation** to locate and arrest the suspect. Police are also working to determine the motive. At the time the report was published, authorities had not announced whether the suspect had been arrested. The case remains under active investigation. ## Questions remain over motive One of the biggest unanswered questions in the case is **why the alleged attack happened**. Because the suspect is reportedly related to one of the victims, investigators are expected to examine whether the stabbing was connected to: - A family dispute - A personal conflict - A previous misunderstanding - Another unresolved issue However, police have **not confirmed any motive**, and it would be premature to speculate. For now, the confirmed information is that two people were injured in the alleged stabbing and the suspect was being pursued by authorities. ## Violence inside the home raises alarm The case is also a disturbing reminder that violent incidents can happen in places where people expect to feel safest — inside their own homes. The two victims were reportedly attacked within their residence, turning an ordinary Sunday morning into a police investigation. For communities, incidents involving family members can also be particularly difficult because conflicts may involve personal relationships and long-standing disputes. That is why determining the motive will be a key part of the Sibonga police investigation. ## What happens next? Police are expected to focus on several key areas: ### Locating the suspect Authorities are continuing their hot-pursuit operation. ### Establishing the motive Investigators will examine what happened before the alleged stabbing. ### Monitoring the victims Police may seek additional statements from the victims once they are able to provide further information. ### ⚖Filing appropriate charges Once the suspect is arrested and the investigation is completed, authorities can pursue the appropriate legal action based on the evidence and injuries sustained. ## The bottom line A **public school teacher and her live-in partner, both 26 years old, were injured after the woman's uncle allegedly stabbed them inside their home in Barangay Manatad, Sibonga, Cebu, on Sept. 6.** Police said the male victim was allegedly stabbed first. His partner was then reportedly injured after attempting to intervene. Both were taken to the **Carcar City District Hospital**.
