=== Uncertainties and discrepancies in the article === The most likely pointers to the fact this is a hoax stem from the fact that the location, date and time, as well as the newspaper name are excluded from the article's image. The article in the image is alleged to be written by an author named "Tina Go-Timbang", who did write for the Phillipine Star (PhilStar) but from 2013 onwards, not from 2005 when this incident likely occurred. The paper shows records online of articles from as early as 2002. The article states that at the time Rommel Marbil was Chief Inspector, however, public records of his career history do not show him occupying this post-- he was Officer-In-Charge for a financial department of the police, then director for PNP regional office, and Police Superintendent, not chief inspector (PC/INSP). It's possible however, he could have occupied this position as he is currently in a higher rank and may have passed through it. The photograph taken by "Tony Rocamora" could refer to Assistant Provincial Prosecutor Ramon Antonio Vicente Rocamora, however, he is the prosecutor for ''Bacong'' rather than ''Bacoor'' where this is incident occurred so it is unlikely. There is no record of a photographer with the name "Tony Rocamora" in search results as of 2024 -- it is also possible this information could have decayed, or been removed since 2005. An industry site refers to the event referenced in the article in the image and also references the alleged culprit's Ragnarok Online team, Team Hatred<ref name=":1">''Team hatred claims RPC 2005 championship!'' (no date) ''GameIndustry.ph''. Available at: https://archive.is/wip/icaok (Accessed: 10 March 2024).</ref>, stating: Team Hatred is composed of Conrad James Faraon, 18; John Madlangbayan, 19; Carlo Templora, 22; Melvin Yee, 19; Mel John Toan, 20; Zyrus Lunas, 19; Andrew Justin, 22; Jhun Richie Chua, 19; and Emmanuel Tanyao, 19. This article however, contradicts the claim in the image which states the referenced prize money was 1.5 million, however the article, as well as a video of Ragnarok Phillipine Championship event shows the prize money as 1 million<ref name=":1" /> and also references that the sponsor of the team was Collegian Internet CafΓ©, not St. Michael Institute, which is a school located in Bacoor. The alleged murderer is also on Facebook, registering an account in 2010 and seemingly working since, which would be unlikely if the case occurred in 2005 since the Phillipines has a minimum of 20 years for murder, which would indicate such a prison sentence to run at minimum 20 to 40 years. The guild, Team Hatred, has no posting on its Facebook page of any reference to any such past, although absence of evidence does not indicate positive confirmation no such thing occurred.
