00:00A 7-year-old boy who is being held hostage in Caloocan was found dead.
00:06Dehydration was the cause of his death in his death certificate.
00:11This is the story of Bea Pinlac.
00:16The 7-year-old James Abarabar, a new resident of Caloocan, is still full of dreams.
00:22But he was shot early after the boy died because he was held hostage in their house.
00:29When he was dreaming, it wasn't just for himself.
00:32We were all together.
00:33He said, Ma, I want to see it on TV.
00:35But why?
00:37He saw it, but he was already dead.
00:39James and his brother were still sleeping next door
00:43when they were quickly taken out of their mother's house
00:46after noticing the moving corpse at the door.
00:50At that time, James was already suffering from stomach pain.
00:54He said, my stomach hurts, Ma, help me.
00:56I called my husband.
00:59I told him, your son is delirious.
01:03He said his stomach hurts.
01:05He was coughing.
01:06He was vomiting.
01:08I told him, come on son, let's go to the hospital.
01:10A few hours later, James was rushed to the hospital,
01:14but he was declared dead on arrival.
01:16Based on the boy's death certificate,
01:19stomach pain and dehydration was the cause of his death.
01:23It was the last time they noticed that James had a wound on his arm
01:26because he ran away from the crime scene.
01:29James' father was at work at the time,
01:31so he couldn't bring his son back to life.
01:34I cried a lot.
01:36I felt bad because I was far away when he was gone.
01:43I didn't know they were there.
01:44Forgive me if I didn't make it.
01:48I didn't see you.
01:49I didn't hug you.
01:50It was the last time.
01:52I'm really sorry son.
01:55Their neighbor caught and killed the thief near James' house.
02:00It's not yet known what kind and if the thief is related.
02:05This kind of incident is rare in the barangay.
02:08Even so, the barangay will be more strict in order to prevent this from happening again.
02:14We will continue to monitor the scenario
02:19to avoid as much as possible the attack of thieves.
02:25We always remind them that whenever there's a flood,
02:30you can't avoid it.
