Mara Marasigan, the daughter of actress Irma Adlawan, posted on Facebook about a break-in to raise awareness in the people around their area to be cautious. Mara shared that a burglar named Ricardo Estorres entered their house in Kawit, Cavite at around 11 pm. Ricardo had a bandana that covered his nose and mouth and also brought a balisong (fan knife).

Mara’s brother Ben, 16 years old, went out of his room to check if he left the fan on and that’s when he saw Ricardo.

“Man took out a balisong, pointed it at my brother and said ‘huwag kang maingay.’ My brother attributes his next moves to watching walking dead- grabbed the balisong by the hilt with his bare hand, wrestled the guy, got him in a headlock and shouted for my mom. The guy bit Ben and my brother tried to bite back but couldn't so he pushed the guy on the floor and hit him on the head. My mom came out of the room and helped Ben tackle the guy.

“My grandfather, woken up by the commotion, came out with a gun but couldn't fire because the guy was wrestling with my mom and my brother. The man pleaded with my brother and my mom to stop when my mom had pinned him down on the floor with the knife at his neck,” Mara wrote.

Their neighbors woke up because of the noise and called the barangay tanods. Ricardo admitted at the police station that he had two accomplices; one was able to enter and leave the house before he got caught and the other one acted as lookout.

In the end, Mara said she was thankful that they are safe despite the traumatizing incident. She also thanked those who helped them.
