Career
Lucia Cunanan was born in Tarlac on February 27, 1928. She settled in Pampanga after her marriage to Victorino F. Cunanan.
In 1974, she established Aling Lucing's, a restaurant in Angeles City.[4] Her restaurant offered a reinvented variant of sisig which soon became nationally famous.[4] The popularity of Cunanan's sisig had helped establish Angeles City as the "Sisig Capital of the Philippines", thus her earning the sobriquet "Sisig Queen".[5]
Death
Cunanan was found bludgeoned to death in her Angeles City home with 10 stab wounds on April 16, 2008, aged 80. Two days after her murder, local police filed parricide charges against her then 85-year-old husband Victorino. He was believed to have killed Lucia after she refused to give him money for his mistress’ needs.[6]
