A video believed to be the last recorded moments of flight attendant Christine Dacera before her mysterious death in a Makati hotel has shaken the internet. Even more disturbing, the clip appears to show several men who would later become central to the investigation.
The Party That Turned into a Tragedy
Christine Dacera, just 23 years old, worked as a flight attendant for Philippine Airlines. On New Year’s Eve, she and a group of friends checked into City Garden Hotel in Poblacion, Makati to celebrate.
Christine was accompanied by three close friends—Rommel Galido, Gregorio Angelo Rafael de Guzman, and John Pascual dela Serna—staying in Room 2209. As the night unfolded, the gathering grew larger, with at least nine more men joining the party in nearby hotel rooms. Among them were Louie de Lima, Clark Jezreel Rapinan, Rey Englis, Mark Anthony Rosales, Jammyr Cunanan, Valentine Rosales, Ed Madrid, and Paul.
At first, Christine’s family thought she was simply enjoying a harmless New Year’s celebration. But what happened afterward turned the festive night into one of the most shocking tragedies of 2021.
Christine’s Last Hours
At midnight, Christine managed to call her family, happily telling them she was celebrating with friends. Everything still seemed normal.
But at 3:22 AM, CCTV footage captured her talking to a man in the hotel corridor. This would be the last time she was seen alive in public view.
By around 10 AM, her roommate Rommel Galido woke up and found Christine lying in the bathtub. Believing she had simply passed out after drinking, he covered her with a blanket and went back to rest.
Hours later, when Christine had not woken up and her body began showing alarming signs—her skin turning pale and bluish—panic set in. Friends rushed her to Makati Medical Center, but doctors could only declare her dead on arrival.
Suspicions of Assault
The initial investigation quickly pointed to the possibility that Christine had been sexually assaulted while incapacitated during the night. Authorities soon identified three prime suspects: Dela Serna, Galido, and Halili.
The findings sparked outrage across the Philippines, with hashtags demanding #JusticeForChristine flooding social media. Netizens, celebrities, and even political figures joined the conversation, turning the case into a nationwide scandal.
The Viral TikTok Video
Adding fuel to the fire was a TikTok video posted by the account @nakgggggggg, believed to show Christine at the New Year’s Eve party just hours before her death.
In the clip, Christine appears cheerful, dressed in a simple white outfit, waving to the camera while seated at a table filled with men. Laughter and chatter fill the background, painting what seemed to be an ordinary festive moment.
But the faces of several men seen in the footage matched those who were later investigated. Shortly after the video went viral, the TikTok account was deleted—deepening the public’s suspicions.
Netizens React: Evidence or Exploitation?
The video became the center of heated debate online:
Some argued it could serve as critical evidence, showing who was with Christine in her final hours.
Others warned that spreading the clip risked further traumatizing her family, as her final happy moments were now overshadowed by tragedy.
Still, the footage gave many a haunting glimpse into what could have been the last hours of Christine’s life.
Unanswered Questions
Christine Dacera’s case has left behind a storm of unresolved issues:
Who is truly responsible for her suspicious death?
Was she deliberately harmed, or was it an accident compounded by negligence?
Could the viral video finally unlock the truth about what happened that night?
Despite widespread speculation, no definitive answers have emerged. The silence has only fueled public anger, as people demand accountability.
A Symbol Beyond One Case
Christine’s death has become more than a single tragedy—it has turned into a symbol of the fight against violence toward women in the Philippines.
Her story struck a nerve because it combined so many elements of modern fears: partying with strangers, social media exposure, questions of safety, and the terrifying possibility of betrayal in supposed moments of celebration.
Online, “Justice for Christine” is no longer just a hashtag—it is a rallying cry for change.
The Final Word—For Now
As the world replays Christine’s last known video, the haunting image of her smiling in white, surrounded by men, lingers in everyone’s mind. Was she in danger even then? Did the camera unknowingly capture her perpetrators alongside her?
Until authorities release clearer findings, the truth behind Christine Dacera’s death remains shrouded in mystery.
For now, the only certainty is this: a young woman’s life ended too soon, under circumstances far too suspicious to ignore—and the fight for her justice has only just begun.
