A man in Talisayan, Misamis Oriental was hacked by another man he allegedly accused of stealing a chicken.

A video taken by a netizen showed two bloodied men in police custody following a hacking incident in Barangay Poblacion at around 9 a.m. on Thursday, June 25, 2026.

Police investigation revealed that the suspect confronted the victim where the latter was working as a carpenter.

The suspect went home and returned later armed with a bolo and a sickle and attacked the victim.

“Allegedly, kaning biktima, nag-comment sa iyang post sa social media nga ‘Ikaw nagkawat sa manok,’ mao na, kana ang gi-comment sa biktima. Gikompronta sa suspek ang biktima didto sa iyang gitrabahuan nga balay kay panday man ang biktima,” Police Regional Office-Northern Mindanao (PRO-10) Spokesperson, Major Joann Navarro, said.

The victim sustained injuries in the head and nape and was taken to a medical facility for treatment. He is in stable condition, as of this writing.

The suspect was arrested and brought to the police station along with the bladed weapons used in the attack.

Police said the suspect may face charges for frustrated homicide.

“Importante kaayo nga anything that we post online dapat it should be based on facts. Dili pwde manumangil kita, dili pwde nga libelous atong mga pamahayag,” Navarro added.
