Reports from sources stated that the victim has been constantly bullied by colleagues and co-workers prompting families to suspect that he could have suffered from depression that caused him rage and eventually taking his own life.

In brief interview with a relaible source, they stated that the victim has been constantly being laughed at and bullied in several instances on and off work by colleagues including at time by the management. The victim even managed to send and gave a picture of group of colleagues and friends the victim complained to his family and cousin responsible for most of the time causing him public embarrassment. Tuesday night prior to the victim alleged jumping from the building, he managed to speak to his cousin who appeased and convinced him to stay calm. The victim contacted him and asked him to retrieve all his belongings from the residence. Wednesday Afternoon at 5:30 pm, the victim was said to be restless and shivering and without hesitation he took one of the hammers used for dental purposes and hit his colleague three times on the head. He apparently tried to break the window but failed, eventually he proceeded to the 18th floor and managed to break the window and jumped to his death.

In a statement the source stated that they are seeking for justice against the other Filipinos who caused the victim’s depression and rage. Sources also stated that the person the victim hit on the head had been the cause of his miseries and had maltreated him since he started working for the company. “He often complained about this coworker who never stopped bullying him and maybe it was too unbearable for him that caused such ire” stated source. Source also stated that his colleagues got him intoxicated and asked him to perform indecent act, attested by photos and videos, which recorded the incident.
