THE HOUSE IN ZAPOTE STREET CABADING FAMILY CASE
National Artist Nick Joaquin wrote about the Cabading murders in a piece called ‘The House on Zapote Street,’ which was adapted by Mike de Leon into the acclaimed film ‘Kisapmata’ in 1981.
This makes the murder in Makati, which made the front page of newspapers, a darker tale. And it’s one that’s been immortalized in art.
National Artist for Literature Nick Joaquin, writing under his penname Quijano de Manila, wrote a non-fiction piece titled “The House on Zapote Street” for the Philippines Free Press magazine. It was later included in his 1977 anthology book Reportage on Crime: Thirteen Horror Happenings that Hit the Headlines.
This piece was then adapted into an acclaimed film released in 1981. Directed by Mike de Leon and starring a host of multi-awarded actors including Charo Santos, Kisapmata was shown in the Metro Manila Film Festival and was universally hailed by critics not just as one of the year’s best but one of the finest Filipino films of all time.
The Cabading case is one of the worst real-life crimes ever committed in the country.
Here are others, including a gruesome killing that happened just last year.
