A Filipino-Chinese Nurse Dead on the Dot at Davao
RIP Nurse Marjorie Kwan
Death as inevitable it can be has already been part in our lives as nurses. Like a typical event, it happens anytime in our duty or at any department in the hospital. As much as we want to save and assist the doctors to even give a little extension to what is called “life”, we can’t.
The hard part is we are even the first few people to be approached by the significant ones asking if everything is okay.
Now the hardest part is when that person on death bed is one of us, a registered nurse whose life was taken at the hands of bad people.
Robbers like death are inevitable as well because even in the most typical time in the morning, they are just around the corner waiting for a signal or a victim. That was exactly what happened a while ago to Nurse Marjorie Kwan, a Filipino-Chinese nurse.
11:30, Saturday in the morning on her way home to RGA Village, Paciano Bangoy, a motorcycle out from nowhere came and attempted to steal her bag.
As expected, there was refusal in giving the bag and on the dot, Nurse Marjorie Kwan was shot dead sustaining four wounds—hand, back, head and chest.
Senior Inspector Ronald Lao, chief of Sta. Ana police stated the event took place for only one thing, robbery and the refusal must have prompted the shots. Unfortunately, there were no leads yet as to who the suspects are.
It’s very bad to hear about this issue. Justice is a must.
Davao is not safe place anymore.
Justice must prevail!!!!
4 shots for a robbery? Sounds personal to me. How much could she have struggled against them after being shot once?
It’s a horrible crime..
To steal people’s belongings and even shoot them in the head.
This is why I believe in the death penalty. It will probably not deter criminals from doing what they do, but they will get what they deserve when they get caught.
If she let her bag snatched by the snatcher. She cried for sure and can enjoy life after what happened. She can report it to the police of what happened, can’t see? And probably caught those guys. I’m so sorry for her that she was stab to death. We were robbed we give everything what they want just not to hurt us. It’s only material thing. We report what happened to the police, then police investigated, caught them and most of all we are all okay.
but then again another incident of robbery happened, the victim willingly gave all her belongings but was still shot dead!
This is indeed a really sad news. I wish her death will be given justice.. 🙁
This is so sad. Grabe, mga walang puso.:( My prayers are with her family.
justice for marjorie kwan, may she rest in peace and justice be served! Ibalik ang death penalty!
this is indeed heart-breaking. i hope there is nothing to come na. burglars and thieves are really painstakingly abusive. urgh. i hate it when they have to kill somebody just to get something out of them.
where are the what so called task force davao? where are the police? so sad to hear this,.. omg
Why would anyone do that to another person? Such heartlessness. Just for the money, many can really hurt and even kill other people. I hope she finds justice. This is sad…
justice for marj kwan! hope those robbers rot in jail, un nga lang wala leads…
This is really sad 🙁 why can’t these bad people get a job and earn for their own living.. 🙁
oh my. please be safe. : /
So sad. This is what happens to a society which people don't like to work anymore. They only want easy money. Poverty? Yes, but come to think of it…nobody remains to be poor if only they try to use those muscles and work. I don't really believe in such things as "because we are poor…we will remain poor forever". I come from a big family. My parents work hard to sustain our needs. We might not be rich but yes, I'm proud to say that, we can at least eat what we want because of hard work. One day…these people will meet their sentence. Justice is on its way. Rest in Peace Miss Kwan.
yeah exactly. even those who have disabilities are able to support themselves how much these men who even have the guts to carry a gun.tsk3
Damn crazy people! Why would they kill a lady na walang kalaban laban. I just hope Nurse Marj will find peace and justice. My uncle was shot dead too last year nung nagsumbong sya sa pulis about drugs sa plade nila in CDO. And until now, we dont know who did it. Nakakaawa lang yung family ni nurse Marj. Sana mahuli yung pumatay.
what… cdo? im from cdo kasi.naku nakakatakot. yah. justice for everyone who got caught with the same incident.tsk
I am a nurse too and it hurts me to hear this news. We nurses work really hard but for these things that are happening in spite of our social services that we render, we don’t deserve it and justice to Nurse Marjorie!
Life is really mischievous, we tend to save lives but these people tend to take lives, :<
yeah exactly. how life for them is as easy as throwing spoiled food into the garbage.
dami na talagang ganitong cases, so sad… tsk tsk kaya tamad na din ako to watch the news puros ganito nalang kwento prang wala nang saysay ang life ganun-ganun nalang yung ibang tao kung pumatay wala na silang takot… ;(
P.S. hi, just want to let you know I had a hard time reading your post, your fonts are too small and for someone like me with a not so good vision I can't hardy read it! paki-laki pls for your readers… just my 2 cents! 😉
thanks. yeah me too, i notice it by myself. i'll edit the css for this.hehe
I hope justice will be serve ASAP!
this is sad.. may she rest in peace.
And BTW, let me enjoin you in prayers in finding justice for Nurse Marj Kwan
This is really sad, I heard from Ted Failon that there are riding in tandem criminals roaming the streets.
I remember 4 years ago, a riding in tandem motorcycle culprit also attempted to get my bag. I really gor hold of my bag tightly hanggang nakaladkad na ako at sugatan. Second day pa lang kasi sa akin ng company issued na laptop. At sa dami ng mga taong nakakita walang tumulong nashock ata. Hay pag naiisip ko yun kinikilabutan ako…
Keep on blogging and inspiring others.

its nice to hear na everything was ok with your experience. with this it’s pretty obvious that how valuable things maybe may not as valuable as life is. well, let us just think that she is valuable for God and thus why such happened.
I heard the news. Tsk tsk, kawawa talaga. May mga instances nang nakasaksi mismo ako ng isang krimen dati sa davao dduring my college days. Isa lang nakikita kong dahilan dito, kahirapan. Haaai.
You’re correct in your premise of discussion that death is unavoidable for it will come anytime especially when you least expect it. But in the case of Marjorie Kwan it could be avoided if there are people around or a tanod is roaming around that place where the crime scene is. And also if she didn’t resist the suspect of stealing her bag. Just imagine in a broad daylight. This is my presumption, probably the suspect is already tailing her for he noticed that Marjorie is carrying valuables or a big money in her bag. Anyway everything would be avoided if everyone is extra careful, prepared. Just like the scout’s motto: “Always Be Prepared!” My sincere condolence to Marjorie Kwan’s family… 🙁
