The Assassination of Percy (Lapid) Mabasa
In this, sadly, last episode of Lagim: A Filipino True Crime Podcast (for now), we look at the assassination of veteran broadcaster Percy Mabasa — better known as Percy Lapid. His killing in 2022 sent shockwaves through Philippine media, exposed a tangled network of alleged corruption, and raised urgent questions about the safety of journalists who dare to speak truth to power.<br /><br />In this episode, I walk you through the case: the planning, the attack, the claims and counter-claims that followed, and why the investigation gripped — and frustrated — so many Filipinos. As Lagim goes on hiatus, I wanted to feature a story that reflects exactly why this podcast exists: to shine a light on injustice, to remember victims, and to interrogate the systems that allow violence to thrive.<br /><br />Thank you for listening, for supporting independent storytelling, and for being part of this community.<br /><br />Until next time — ingat lagi.<br /><br /><b>Support me through gifts and donations at <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/juzewoba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BuyMeCoffee</a>.<br /><br /></b><b>To never miss any Lagim update, please <a href="https://mailchi.mp/eb04c282e27f/sign-up-for-the-lagim-podcast-newsletter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sign up to my newsletter</a>.<br /><br />LAGIM is on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lagimpodcast" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TikTok</a>, so make sure to check me out:<br /></b><b><br /></b><b>Subscribe to <a href="https://bit.ly/3rFdWCg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LAGIM's YouTube channel</a>:<br /><br />Follow, rate and review LAGIM on <a href="https://apple.co/3r3XjzT" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple Podcasts</a> and <a href="https://spoti.fi/3qamBxl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Spotify</a>:</b><br /><b></b><br />Sources are <a href="https://lagimpodcast.blogspot.com/2025/12/the-assassination-of-percy-lapid-mabasa.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lagim-a-filipino-true-crime--5701073/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lagim-a-filipino-true-crime--5701073/support</a>.

The Case of Ana Abulaban
In this episode of Lagim: A Filipino True Crime Podcast, we examine the harrowing case of Ana Abulaban, a Filipina mother whose life was cut short in a brutal double murder in San Diego. Her husband, Ali Abulaban—known online as TikTok personality “JinnKid”—was charged with her killing, along with the murder of a male friend she was with.<br /><br />We explore Ana’s background, her efforts to escape an increasingly toxic and abusive marriage, and how social media fame often hides the darker realities behind closed doors. This case sheds light on domestic violence, coercive control, and the tragic consequences of untreated emotional instability.<br /><br />Tune in for a deep dive into a case that gripped both the Filipino-American and true crime communities.<br /><br /><b>There is help.

The Disappearance of Lisa Marie Young ft. Laura Palmer of the Island Crime Podcast
In this special episode of LAGIM: A Filipino True Crime Podcast, I delve into a case that, at first glance, seems to have no ties to the Philippines. But dig a little deeper, and an unexpected connection begins to surface. <br /><br />Lisa Marie Young was a vibrant, young Indigenous woman from Nanaimo, British Columbia. She was on the brink of major life changes when she vanished without a trace just before Canada Day in 2002. More than two decades later, no one has been arrested or held accountable for her disappearance.<br /><br />The last person seen with Lisa was Christopher William Adair—<b>a man who has never been thoroughly investigated, arrested, or charged in connection with her case</b>. Yet, many believe he may hold the answers to what truly happened on that fateful night in June 2002.<br /><br />Adair left Canada years ago and has since built a new life abroad. Today, it’s believed that he is living in the Philippines, having fallen in love with a Filipina and integrating into an expat community. Despite the silence he’s maintained over the years, Lisa’s family still hopes he’ll come forward—and finally offer the closure they so desperately deserve. <br /><br />To bring more attention to this cold case, I speak with Laura Palmer, former executive producer at CBC Vancouver and the award-winning host of Island Crime, a podcast that has followed Lisa’s story for over five years. Laura shares deep insights into Lisa’s life, the investigation, and the elusive figure of Adair. We end this episode with a united call to action:<br /><br /><i><b>If you or someone you know has any information about Christopher William Adair, please share this episode—or reach out to us directly. The answer to a decades-old mystery could lie right here, in our own community in the Philippines.</b></i><br /><br /><br /><b>Laura's email address is laura@laurapalmer.ca. </b><br /><b>Lagim's email address is lagimpod@yahoo.com.</b><br /><br />My thanks go to Laura who has been extremely helpful with getting this episode off the ground. Please follow and listen to Island Crime, especially season 1, available right now on all your preferred podcasting platforms. <b>Here is a <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/20tF72k0Bbi3SmKIv83C8j" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">link</a> to its Spotify feed.</b><br /><br />Sources list is <a href="https://lagimpodcast.blogspot.com/2025/05/the-disappearance-of-lisa-marie-young.html" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a>.<br /><br /><b>Support me through gifts and donations at <a href="https://www.buymeacoffee.com/juzewoba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BuyMeCoffee</a>.<br /><br /></b><b>To never miss any Lagim update, please <a href="https://mailchi.mp/eb04c282e27f/sign-up-for-the-lagim-podcast-newsletter" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sign up to my newsletter</a>.<br /><br />LAGIM is on <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@lagimpodcast" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">TikTok</a>, so make sure to check me out:<br /></b><b><br /></b><b>Subscribe to <a href="https://bit.ly/3rFdWCg" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LAGIM's YouTube channel</a>:<br /><br />Follow, rate and review LAGIM on <a href="https://apple.co/3r3XjzT" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Apple Podcasts</a> and <a href="https://spoti.fi/3qamBxl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Spotify</a>:</b><br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lagim-a-filipino-true-crime-podcast--5701073/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/lagim-a-filipino-true-crime-podcast--5701073/support</a>.
