‼️KIARA BERMEJO DEATH‼️
AUGUST 19, 2025 | 9:00 am
I just want to clarify the real cause of death of my daughter, CZANAIA KIARA FLORES BERMEJO.
We walked to Buluan Day Care Center at exactly 9:00 am. Her sister Kaori went ahead with her nanny around 8:30 am. When Kiara and I entered the classroom, I seated her because class had already started and we were late. After that, I went to the kitchen to check on Kaori and stayed in the waiting area for about 2–3 minutes.
When I came back to the classroom, Kiara was no longer there. I looked around but couldn’t find her. That’s when I asked for help from the Barangay Captain, the teacher, parents, and the people nearby. I screamed and shouted for help—my mind went blank, my knees weakened, and I couldn’t breathe. Everyone searched for her, but she was gone.
After 15 minutes, the teacher found Kiara floating in a swimming pool 100 meters away from the school. They tried CPR, and we rushed her to the hospital. But at 9:54 am, she was declared DOA.
Initial findings: DROWNING
But we were not content with that result, so we preserved her body in a morgue with a freezer until an autopsy could be done to confirm the real cause of death. After weeks of waiting, the autopsy result came—and it was more painful than anything a mother could ever bear.
Autopsy Result: ASPHYXIA BY SMOTHERING
With signs of s*xu*l a**ault
We kept silent for a month. If it had been drowning alone, we would have let go and accepted reality. But because the truth was different, we will seek justice.
I am sharing this to clear the rumors and judgments against me. Some people accuse me of being a negligent mother, but none of you have the right to judge. You don’t know how much love, care, and sacrifice I gave my children—the way I cared for their skin, hair, and teeth.
To our neighbors in Barangay Buluan, please help us pray for Kiara’s soul—that justice may be served. As parents yourselves, you know the unbearable pain of losing a child, especially in such a cruel way.
Kiara was a sweet and loving little girl. At age 1, she could already sing the alphabet and count 1–10. At age 2, she could sing “Happy Birthday” and other nursery songs. But her life was cut short by someone who took advantage of her innocence and ended her future.
The pain is unbearable. I keep asking myself:
How will I comb my daughter’s hair now?
How will I brush her teeth or put lotion on her skin?
How will I dress her in pretty clothes, shoes, and hair accessories?
The one who killed my child buried me alive in pain.
We beg the authorities not to let this case fade away until Kiara gets the justice she deserves. Let us unite so that no other innocent child or woman will suffer the same fate.
Lord, please help us. Trouble the conscience of the one who did this, so that they will never find peace until they face the truth of what they have done.
To everyone who prayed, helped, and supported us—thank you. We may not name you one by one, but we see and feel your love.
Above all, thank You, Lord, for carrying me through the darkest pain of losing my daughter. In my weakness, You have been my strength. Though my heart is broken, I am grateful that You have not let me fall. Please continue to hold me close, and give me courage for each day ahead.
