Trigger Warning: Contains graphic descriptions of violence
A comment on a TikTok post featuring a clip from a movie based on the real-life story of the Lipa City massacre in Batangas has drawn attention for sharing allegations about the current condition of the house.
An online user on X (formerly Twitter) shared on Monday, October 27, a screenshot of a TikTok comment section showing opinions about the “Lipa City Massacre” or “Lipa Massacre.”
The tragic incident tells the story of a mother, Helen Arandia, 34, and her two daughters, Chelsea Liz, 6, and Ann Geleen, 4, who were stabbed to death inside their home in April 1994 by Elmer Palicpic.
Ronald Arandia, the head of the family, was working in Saudi Arabia at the time the crime occurred.
There were allegations that Palicpic had asked Helen for a loan, but she refused.
The suspect is currently imprisoned at the Sablayan Penal Colony in Mindoro.
The story was immortalized in the 1994 film “Lipa ‘Arandia’ Massacre: Lord, Deliver Us From Evil,” starring Vilma Santos as Helen, Joel Torre as Ronald and John Regala as the killer.
Some clips from the film recently gained traction on TikTok after GMA’s “Kapuso Mo, Jessica Soho (KMJS)” featured it in its Halloween special on Sunday, October 26.
A comment section on one TikTok clip caught the attention of a user on X, who later posted a screenshot of it on the platform.
The comments featured an exchange among three TikTok users, including one named Paulo Icaro, who wrote: “Malapit lang ‘to sa amin, ang bahay ng mga ‘to kung saan nangyari ‘yung krimen. Binenta na ‘yung bahay nila kaso walang tumatagal sa bahay na ‘yan.”
“Nagmumulto po ba?” another TikTok user responded.
“Walang tubig daw,” a TikTok user called “City Hunter” replied.
The exchange drew attention from X users, with the post garnering over 11,000 likes and 1,200 reposts.

Some online users expressed amusement at the unexpected twist in the comment exchange.
“Paano ka naman tatagal sa bahay na walang tubig,” one wrote with a crying emoji. “Jk [joke] aside, rest in peace doon sa mag-iina.”
“T*r*ntado talaga kayo, seryoso akong nagbabasa rito oh, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA,” another commented.
“Bw*s*t na plot twist ‘yan, HAHAHHAHAA,” a different Pinoy commented.
“Mas nakakatakot pa sa multo talaga,” another wrote.
“Sh*tamesh, kala ko naman nagmumulto ‘yung mag-ina dun… tubig pala ang dahilan. Tawa!” a different Pinoy replied, adding a laugh emoji.
Another TikTok user claimed the house’s electricity was also unreliable, citing issues with Batangas Electric Cooperative.
“Lagi ding patay-sindi ang ilaw. Batelec kasi,” the TikTok user commented.
Meanwhile, in the KMJS feature, it was mentioned that the spirits of the victims are believed to continue haunting the Arandia house more than three decades after their deaths.
The KMJS team invited paranormal researcher Ed Caluag, who visited the house and attempted to communicate with the spirits.
According to Ronald, the house was planned and built at his wife’s initiative. He said she was the one who purchased the lot and had the house plans drawn up, adding that he went overseas to work and save up for its construction.
Ronald shared that he has since sold the house and had it blessed. It was eventually rented out to others, with some tenants claiming to have experienced supernatural occurrences there.
