Man killed because he didn’t know Nobody
We all know that the hit song, Nobody by the Wonder Girls is a global phenomenon. But no one would have expected this. A man in the Philippines was apparently stabbed in the stomach and hit in the head until he was dead because he didn’t know the song, Nobody.
His name was Leo Santos, 28, and he was killed by 4 men from Tondo, Manila. The knife used was even left in the guy’s body and the whole murder was because he doesn’t know the song ‘Nobody’ by Wonder Girls.
Santos, an electrician from Mahomas Compound, Tondo, Manila was stabbed 2 times in the stomach and hit to death on 26th August. He died last Thursday at the Memorial Medical Center after succumbing to his fatal injuries..
The Manila Police District-Homicide Section are now looking for the suspects Jansen Maglanque, Jonar Balagtas, Rodolfo Aguas and Joseph (alias) for alleged murder.
According to information released by the investigation team, Leo Santos was walking along the Corregidor Street around 2am when Joseph was singing Nobody by Wonder Girls. Leo asked him, “What are you singing?”
The suspect Joseph got irritated because Leo didn’t know the song he was singing. Joseph then punched Leo in the face and the other suspects joined in beating Leo to death. One of the suspects (the news didn’t say who) even stabbed Leo in the stomach 2 times before all of them ran away.
The family didn’t report the case immediately, only choosing to make a police report yesterday afternoon because the family decided that taking care of Leo’s hospital issues and funeral arrangements were much more important.

haha.. yeah i heard that in the news here in philippines..
i was shock!
but the fault is.. so what if he didn’t know “nobody”?
like other people here know that..
na buang jud tingali to sya,,,,,
wow
They were probably drunk.
i read this news online:
MANILA – Authorities are on the lookout for four male fraternity brothers who are facing homicide charges after allegedly killing another frat brother all because of the Korean pop song “Nobody” by the Wonder Girls.
usually frat members bully people as a group for very stupid reasons in real life or even online.
for added example, i found a youtube video at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uh3SgzRCFKw
wherein Filipino frat members like mardygonzales, planetmarduk, mardukmesande, and their other frat buddies bully a foreigner named lodyd.
it did not even matter to these Filipino frat members that the foreigner(Lodyd) they are bullying actually loves their country-Philippines and culture to even learn their Filipino/Tagalog language.
these frat buddies also bullied and taunted all other people who sympathized with that foreigner(lodyd).
so far, it seems like Fraternity groups in the Philippines include members who are callous, vulgar, and bad bullies.
yeah,. sad to say this is a real story. poor guy.
lol. creepy.. I’m from Philippines. =))
it is tragic because of that reason they even killed the man….how disappointing
wtf. getting stubbed for not knowing nobody. how sad
that.. is some intense fandom .__.
i totally agree with 45 and 47. the news article is most likely from a tabloid who do tend to write over-the-top articles. Plus, drunks here in manila just go crazy a lot and do stupid things. I don’t think it’s because they’re fanboys of Wonder Girls really. It was just too bad the victim got killed over “Nobody.” Dang! it’s people like this that give Filipinos a bad name!
this is true have watched this on the news today and i was really shocked… I was eating my breakfast when i heared this and shocks…..
this is insane…
and i thot korea was crazy…
wtf..
kill someone because of this?
what a horrible messed up world this is.
Wtf ?! They went too far!…just because he didnt know the song ‘Nobody’ …. the poor fella O_o R.I.P Leo :))
people are sooooo dumb!
thats a horrible way to die… :(
i learned that the 4 guys were drunk. poor guy lost his life because of something to shallow. sad.
THAT’S F””IN INSANE.
…T_T…poor guy
wtf?
that is mess up.
why would those people beat up an innocent guy who doesnt know the popular song by WG?
that is crazy.
R.I.P for the guy.
That’s just scary. Poor guy, seriously may he R.I.P :(
bro wtf?!
whats this world coming to?
i feel sorry the guy. poor dude D;
That’s fucking ridiculous. I hope that Joseph guy gets run over by a truck or something. His immature actions and reaction to something so minor will only make people dislike Wonder Girls.
damn that’s messed up.
okay, those four guys already have problems… probably would’ve killed the poor guy even if he had just said Hello. but man, some people in this world are so scary… ><
UGH. Tondo Manila is what we call a SIN CITY of the Philippines.
Drugs and shiz everywhere.
Those guys are probably in influence.
GOD

ITS REALLY SAD… i know its a sad story,but i find it a little bit funny though! LOL maybe im crazy too it got me laughing bec of comment #2!! ^^ im so sorry..

Nobody must be like “Thriller” in the Philippines for someone to kill someone else for not knowing the song.
But My condolences go out to his family.
dude thats messed up…all over a song? i swear kpop fans are the most scariest people ever lol…but on a serious note this is really really sad
That is ABSURD.
R.I.P. Leo Santos.
Geez, just because Leo didn’t know “Nobody”, he was killed? That fucking messed up. Geez, Filipinos these days. (No racial. Hey, I’m Filipino too.)
That’s what you get when you annoy fanboys…
nah… seriously, i feel sorry for the guy…. and his family….
really, sometimes people can be…. argh!
what is happening to the world!…..
@393
i dont think they were really fanboys.
most fanboys wouldnt kill because they’d be happy to promote the song. the men involved probably just liked the song and got pissed (probably in drunken rage) that someone didn’t know it.(while most of the country did)
wow
wow
omg? thats so sad and extremely unfortunate. he definitely did not deserve that and those guys need to calm the eff down. i hope they do their time in jail.
Oh My God! How terrible! I didn’t know who killed the person that doesn’t know the song… what a shameful killers… they’re crazy! Only God knows who killed him… Poor guy, RIP Leo Santos!
Geez, what the hell! people are killing each other because of songs now?? thats insane!!! i feel sorry for the man and his family =(
