A hotel worker found the bodies of the victims, whose hands and feet were tied, in a room at the Lake Hotel in Tagaytay city, south of Manila, on Wednesday, according to a police statement. Police did not identify the victims or provide other details of what it said was a  “murder incident.” Tagaytay Mayor Abraham Tolentino apologized to the families of the victims.
