The terrible story of"WARLITO TOLEDO aka WAWAY" who slays 40 people a day to revenge the murder and rape of his wife.
CEBU CITY, Philippines - Rumor has circulated that a serial killer named “Waway” is on the loose in Cebu.
Waway is said to be a serial rapist who slays 40 people a day to revenge the murder and rape of his wife.
Stories have it that Waway has an amulet (anting-anting) that makes him invincible.
Posters bearing the photos of Waway have been placed everywhere to warn the public against him because he is a robber, a murderer and a rapist.
As stories about Waway spread, he has become an urban legend. As it turns out, Waway is Warlito Toledo, an ordinary fugitive. Danao police chief Larson Dechino said Waway has been lucky as he continues to elude arrest.
He said Waway has no supernatural powers and amulet. No, his wife had not been murdered.
The Danao police, however, are not even sure how Toledo got to be called “Waway.” But based on his records at the Danao courts, Waway was charged with reckless imprudence resulting to homicide on November 8, 1989. On December 1, 1999, he was arrested for a rape case filed on September 10, 1996. The two cases were later settled out of court.
Waway was implicated in another rape case in September 2002. Waway fled and was never seen again. Five years later, Waway was again dragged in another case, this time in the rape and murder of a 17-year-old student in Danao.
Danao police said the allegations that Waway was involved in the crime made the fugitive notorious.
This was because the Danao police started receiving reports that Waway allegedly waylaid and attempted to rape young women.
Despite the reports, no victims came to the police station to file complaints.
But news of Waway's exploits continue to proliferate, prompting the Danao police to distribute photos of Waway to barangay (village) intelligence networks who offered to help in the search for him.
But Dechino said the Danao police did not distribute the posters which tagged Waway as a murderer, robber and serial killer.
One good thing that came out of the “Waway tales” is that the police are finding it easy to implement the ordinance that bans minors from staying out from midnight to 4 a.m.
Dechino said some people find it enjoyable to spread rumors about Waway.
“It is not surprising because some people deliberately add a thing or two to a story just so they have something to talk about. But the problem is that some people relay on the wrong information. Others tell it in such a way that makes Waway a supernatural being to scare the kids,” he said.
Dechino said it would not be long before Waway will be arrested as Danao residents have joined in the search for him.
Danao City Mayor Ramonito Durano III has put up a reward for those who can give valuable information that would lead to Waway's arrest.
