The events are somehow not connected but it has seemingly similarity, gunning down a woman teacher in broad daylight, in school, for all to see with the intention to kill.
As we knew from social media and mainstream media two teachers were gunned down in Tanauan and Matalom all in Leyte. Both cases were perpetrated by their husbands, both women teachers had filed complaint of Violence Against Women and Children, Violations of RA 9262, against these husbands and had history of violence before the act of firing a loaded gun to the wives.
What could be the reasons that prompts husbands to ignore decency and shed-off the often protective and loving expectations? What could be the ultimate motive?
Asking 15 individuals on that question, the informal survey shows that Jealousy has 8 response, Insecurity 5 and Losing Control 2. Jealousy stands as the most common response. Indeed, Jealousy is a major factor in domestic violence because it often acts as a powerful emotional trigger that fuels control, rage, and irrational behavior.
The events create long lasting trauma from the schoolchildren who are simple bystanders. It creates a long and lasting trauma for the children of the assailant and victim and yes, creates sadness on everyone.
When the husband is the dominant partner , at times he sees his wife as mere tool or possession. The husband became the abuser. In the other hand when jealousy arises—especially over suspected infidelity—they feel their control slipping and may lash out violently to reassert dominance.
At times, the fear of being dumped motivates the dominant male to be extra jealous, that it leads to physical and verbal abuse.
