Beyond serving customers, this McDonald’s Manager saved a customer's life

Quick thinking, presence of mind, and instilled with the values that his employer has taught him, a McDonald’s Philippines store manager saved the life of a customer who suffered a sudden heart attack.

McDonald’s NLEX Drive and Dine Manager Bryan Bondoc’s swift response and application of first aid skills made sure the customer received timely assistance. Last April 12, Bondoc promptly performed CPR on the customer, while crew member Jerico Cardiente, also trained in CPR, continued the procedure. Meanwhile, two crew members attended to the customer while Bondoc's colleague, Maribel Guina, called for an ambulance. According to the rescue team who arrived at the scene, the customer would’ve lost his life if the team didn’t observe the CPR protocols. The customer is now in recovery at the Philippine Heart Center.

Bondoc was recently recognized by the company and had received many praises for his courageous act and going the extra mile to help a customer in need.

When asked how he felt about being applauded by his peers and leads, Bryan said he felt motivated to continue to help others. “Nakakamotivate po makatulong pa sa iba,” Bryan said. (It motivates me to continue to help other people).

Being Equipped with the Right Skills, Mindset, and Values

“Bryan’s story is a reminder of the impact one can make on other people when they are equipped with the right skills, mindset, and values,” Ruben Marasigan, VP for Human Capital Group of McDonald’s Philippines said. “His actions exemplify McDonald’s values of being Customer-driven, Malasakit (empathy), and Teamwork. Best of all, it showcases the company’s focus on being customer-driven in that they prioritize our customers’ well-being, especially in circumstances like this,” Marasigan added.

Bondoc has been with McDonald’s Philippines for more than ten years. He was a working student back in 2009 when he was hired as part of McDonald’s People Support in Makati. When the quick service restaurant opened a store in Malabon, he became a pioneer member of the branch. He later joined McDonald’s Drive and Dine in NLEX where he was eventually promoted to manager.

He has learned many things throughout his employment at McDonald’s Philippines and his recent experience with a life-saving situation shows how important it is that companies invest in their employees’ training and development. Providing Bondoc and his fellow employees with first aid training equipped them with the necessary skills to save another person’s life.

“Required po kaming umattend ng First Aid Class (We are required to attend First Aid Class),” Bondoc shared. He added that with the training, he learned about the importance of doing the procedure step-by-step and having presence of mind because someone’s life is in your hands.

Equipped with the skills and values to go the extra mile in serving customers, Bryan Bondoc found his Best Me here at McDonald's, thanks to his experience.

The Chop Chop Lady

Sometime in the late ‘50s or early ‘60s, Lucila Tolentino Lalu left her hometown of Candaba, Pampanga, to try her luck in Manila. She initially worked as a waitress at a small bar and apparently, she was really good with money. Her hard-earned money, which she saved quite wisely, was enough to start several ventures—Lucy’s House of Beauty, a salon on Mayhaligue St. and Pagoda, which is a restaurant and cocktail lounge / nightclub located along Rizal Avenue in Sta. Cruz, Manila.

During this time, Lucila also met Aniano de Vera, a police officer who was married, but who nevertheless fell in love with her. Soon, the two began living together in a common-law marriage, and their union was blessed with a child. Like any career woman, Lucila was adeptly juggling her businesses and family life at 28 years old.

Then one summer day in 1967, Lucila disappeared. None of the old newspaper clippings mentioned whether Lucila’s family members or friends reported her missing.

On May 28, police officers found human body parts: a woman’s pair of legs, cleanly cut in four pieces, wrapped with a newspaper dated May 14th. The legs were found in a garbage can along Malabon St. not far from Pagoda. The garbage collector who found the parts said that they were cold to the touch, as if they had come from the freezer. He also noted that the toes were well-pedicured, like they belonged to someone well-to-do.

At first, police officers and the media thought they may match the badly decomposed, severed hand that had been found just a few days earlier in front of a barber shop along Recto Avenue. However, this theory was discarded after checking the decomposition rates on both body parts.

Almost a day later, a torso with arms were found along EDSA, near Guadalupe Bridge. These parts were also wrapped in newspaper, this time dated May 23. The body was identified to be Lucila’s, whose fingerprints were on file when she applied for a police clearance, back when she had just arrived in Manila.

Homicide investigators noted that whoever killed Lucila was someone skilled with the knife, or have some sort of medical knowledge since the parts were expertly cut. In initial reports, they also mentioned that, since the body parts were frozen and scattered in different parts of the city, they were looking for someone with an access to a huge freezer and an automobile.

Several suspects were rounded up, most of them Lucila’s lovers. First was Florante Relos, a 19-year-old waiter at the Pagoda whom Lucila had supported. However, Florante was drinking with his friends during the time of the crime and he was released. He also did not have any motive to kill Lucila, the person who was both his lover and provider. She even rented out a “love nest” in Cubao where he could stay. However, the cashier at Pagoda also said that Lucila had already broken up with Florante. During the night of the murder, she also told Florante and his friends that Lucila may be at the beauty parlor if they wanted to see her. Some witnesses even said they saw her being dragged by Florante and his friends into a taxi in front of the parlor. These accounts were never verified.

The second suspect was Aniano, Lucila’s common-law husband for seven years. Many already knew that they were having problems. Their six-year-old child had been staying at Lucila’s mother in Caloocan. Aniano was also prone to fits of anger and jealousy, having fired off his service gun three times in Lucila’s Pagoda and Beauty Parlor, the month before she disappeared.

The night of her disappearance, Aniano claimed to have had dinner with her in the beauty parlor at about 6:30 p.m. He left immediately after. Some witnesses, including some of Lucila’s relatives, said that around the time Aniano left, they even saw her in the salon, sleeping. However, this contradicts Florante’s earlier testimony that he and Lucila had met, around 7:30 the same night, in another cocktail lounge on Rizal Avenue.

There was another suspect, an executive of a printing firm who was also said to be Lucila’s lover. He was never named in any of the reports, only that he was suspected because of a cardboard material used in wrapping newsprints that was found under the torso of Lucila. This mystery man seemed to have an alibi for the night and this angle wasn’t explored any further.

The last suspect was someone who came forward due to his “guilty conscience”: a 28-year-old dentistry student, Jose Luis Santiano. It was June 15, 1967 when news broke out that a “handsome young man” son of a retired PC colonel, married and father of five, confessed in his own handwritten statement that he experienced a “mental blackout” but remember strangling Lucila to her death. Jose Luis was also one of Lucila’s lovers and was one of the boarders of the spare rooms in her parlor.

In his initial testimony, he said that Lucila had tried to seduce him, and that when he refused, she threatened to create a scandal. This was when Jose Luis lost his mind and killed her. In his testimony, he even mentioned disposing of the head in Diliman, Quezon City and carrying parts of the body in paper bags and boxes while commuting in taxis and jeepneys. Police later found traces of dried blood underneath Jose Luis’ bed where he said he kept the body before disposing of it. It was never mentioned in old news reports if the head was ever found. Three days later, Jose Luis was singing a different tune. He retracted his earlier statement, saying he wasn’t the murderer but just an “unwilling witness” to the murder which was in fact committed by three men. While the murder did happen in the mezzanine of the parlor where Jose Luis’ room was, he said that two men killed Lucila while another man held him hostage while pointing a gun at him. A fourth man appeared the following morning and planted evidence, the blood, in his room. Over the next few days, he allegedly also received notes, reminding him to keep silent.

The police insisted that Jose Luis did it, especially since they found a hammer with bloodstains in the mezzanine, as well as the knife and razors in his initial testimony. They claimed that he was merely following his lawyer’s suggestion of retracting his statement. When Jose Luis was being held by the NBI, they also received bomb threats to let the murder suspect go. He was released later on and some even say that Jose Luis is still alive and living abroad.

Without any new leads, the investigators reached a dead end and the case remains unsolved.

Get ready for a long list. I held back from adding too many. If you guys can make these and give me some, you’ll be my best friend for life!!!

This is pretty much a foreign food, and I can’t really eat it where I am because the squid isn’t fresh enough, but whenever I go to the Philippines, I love eating adobong pusit!

It’s one of the few dishes my grandma will actually cook for us. That and Pancit Malabon! I love that too.

In terms of Chinese food, I eat a lot of that here (not because anyone cooks it but because there are a ton of Chinese restaurants).

Salted Fish Fried Rice is so yummy

I love seafood congee

I love salmon maki (sushi). I know this technically isn’t really Japanese (it was created because of large salmon supply elsewhere)

I love seafood udon!

Seafood pancakes are really yummy too

1967: THE LUCILA LALU CASE: THE ORIGINAL CHOP-CHOP LADY

Who is Lucila Lalu? Why was she killed? Why, after one of the suspects confessed to committing the crime, has the case remained an unsolved mystery almost 42 years after it happened?

Lucila Lalu left Barrio Mapaniqui (Candaba, Pampanga) for Manila sometime in 1961. As with many others before her, it was the old search for a good life in the city. In Manila, she secured a police clearance to work as a waitress and was promptly hired by one of the city’s small-time night spots. Not long after, she met a patrolman, Aniano Vera, a married man with whom she, nevertheless, decided to live in common-law marriage. The relationship produced a son, and her job, some savings which eventually enabled her to buy out the owners of the Pagoda Soda Fountain on Rizal Avenue, a cocktail lounge and restaurant rolled into one. Business was kind and busy, and she earned enough to establish another concern --- a beauty parlor on Mayhaligue st., Sta. Cruz. The modest success bred, too, the indulgent side in her, and she took on a lover whom she set up in an apartment and then supported.

At 28, Lucila spent most of her time and energy on these three main concerns of her life--- business, family and love. If not with equal enthusiasm, at least with an apparent resolve not to give up any member of the triangle. And she was best of health and spirits.

Until one Sunday (May 28), or perhaps it was a Monday, late last month, when the hand of violence snuffed out her life and scattered her body in little pieces all over the city. First, her legs were found, chopped expertly into four pieces and wrapped in a newspaper dated May 14, 1967, in a garbage can on Malabon st., Sta. Cruz, about a stone’s throw from her cocktail lounge. A day later, her body, headless and legless, was found on a vacant lot along Epifanio de los Santos Avenue, just beyond the bend of Guadalupe Bridge in Makati. It took time, of course, to identify her in the little pieces, but the police managed somehow to get fingerprints off the dead hands which subsequently found to match those in a police clearance file on one Lucila Lalu.

Lucila, in death, hugged page one. Police investigators --- in the hope of finding her head and, more important, her murderer --- dug deep into her recent past. The arrest of the lover, 19-year-old Florante Relos, precipitated headlines such as “MPD solves murder of dismembered girl.” Relos had an airtight alibi, however, and he appeared to have he least of reasons for killing her. “She was good to me,” he told the police and admitted having had intimate relations with the victim. Happily for him, two friends corroborated his claim that he was somewhere else at the time of the murder --- which was between late Sunday evening and Monday noon, according to the results of the autopsy.

Relos was freed, but he refused to leave police headquarters, “for fear of his life.” Suspicion shifted to the victim’s common-law husband Patrolman Vera. And again, people began saying, “The case is solved; Vera killed her in a fit of jealousy.” Relos testified that Pat. Vera had mauled him once in the Pagoda Soda Fountain when Vera found Lucila embracing him. But the police could not find any direct evidence connecting the patrolman to the crime, beyond an apparently strong motive.

As the case developed, the sordid side of Lucila’s life rather than her murderer surfaced. Reports poured in that Lucila had other lovers and the police responded by hunting them. The testimony of eager beavers in the case was varied and contradictory. Lucila’s neighbors claimed they saw three men dragging what looked like a body from Lucila’s residence. Vera claimed he saw Lucila hale and hearty hours after the neighbors “had seen” her body being dragged away. A friend of the victim stated that Lucila wanted to end her relationship with Relos, but Relos swears the woman was very much in love with him. And so on. And so forth. The police, for their part, theorized on the circumstances behind the murder. From what was left of Lucila, they surmised that the murder could only have been committed by someone familiar with the use of knives and such --- say a butcher or a surgeon or at least a pre-med student. The killer must have used a private vehicle to dispose of the torso and legs, and because these were very cold to the touch when found, the remains, the police said, must have been stored in a freezer. These led to speculation that a wealthy man may have been involved in the case, in addition to the earlier and credible theory that the killer must be intelligent, methodical and some sort of professional.

After a week of investigating and prying for information, the police still had no murderer to show before the public. And the victim’s head still had to be recovered. This led not a few people to feel that local sleuths, be they Manila’s finest or our intelligence agents, are not fine enough. Given an intelligent murderer, one who is not an easy prey to passion and hence is not likely to be careless, a case can drag on unresolved, as in fact many have in the past.

June 14, 1967

June 15, 1967- Jose Luis Santiano, a 28-year old dental student surfaced and confessed to the crime. He recounted and detailed the events that led to the brutal killing. However, a few days later, he retracted and repudiated his confession and insisted on his innocence. But the authorities were firmed on their decision to pursue the case against the new suspect. New evidences uncovered pinpointed to Santiano.

"Chop chop lady"

Chop-chop. A term coined to describe what is done to easily and inconspicuously dispose of the remains of a murder victim. The term was first used in the Philippines when the dismembered body parts of Lucila Lalu were found in different cities in May of 1967.

After Lalu's murder was discovered, four suspects surfaced, all said to be romantically linked to Lucila: a waiter, a dentistry student, a police officer and an executive in a printing firm unnamed by authorities.
