"Na-imagine mo na nasaksak siya, wala kahit isang sumasaklolo. [Sino] kayang tinawag niya, Panginoon ba o ako ba?" (Just imagine while she was being stabbed, nobody came to her rescue. I don't know if who she was calling for help that time, is it God or is it me?) Angela Lucero, the victim's mother emotionally said. Her mother also kept on reminiscing her beautiful memories with her daughter.

"Nakaka-miss, nakakaawa. Kung ano isinigaw niya nung nawalan na siya ng hininga." (I miss her and it's pitiful. I wonder what she might have been crying for until she had her last breath.) she added.

According to Meyah Amatorio, the victim's girlfriend, it was already late when Jang left their house to meet the people who hired her. She said she was skeptic on who would hire Jang late on a Sunday night. Jang left in a hurry after the passengers threatened to drop her services.

Amatorio learned of Jang's fate when they called her phone and a policeman answered telling them to go the police station.

"Wala akong naaalala na may nakaaway siya before o ngayon," (I don't recall anyone she might have had a fight with before or even now.) said Amotorio.

The police is still investigating the case and currently searching for the last passenger Jang's brought to Manila.
