Pampanga’s ‘sisig queen’ stabbed dead

ANGELES CITY – The woman who made this Pampanga city famous as “sisig capital” was killed in her bedroom before dawn yesterday.

Police said Lucia Cunanan, 80, founder and owner of the Aling Lucing food chain and dubbed as the “sisig queen” in the culinary world, was found dead by her husband, Tino, 85, on her bed in their home at the back of the Angeles University Foundation here at around 4 a.m.

Cunanan had several stab wounds in the chest.

Probers said the Cunanan couple and their maid, Bibeth Argunilla, were the only ones residing in the house.

The housemaid, who was employed only a month earlier, claimed she did not hear any commotion.

Police said only the victim’s bedroom was in disarray and that some pieces of jewelry were apparently missing from a cabinet.

There were apparently no signs of forcible entry in the Cunanan home, they added. – Ding Cervantes
