It was all over the news yesterday about the suicide of Mrs. Trinidad Etong, wife of ABS CBN News anchor Ted Failon. Yesterday, there was many speculations that allegedly it was not suicide. I didn’t made a post yesterday but from time to time I monitored the updates. I felt sorry for their loss especially now that the attending physician had declared Mrs. Etong dead at 10:50 pm tonight. I felt their grievances for loosing a wife and a mother but some people took this differently.
I have high respect with Ted Failon, I don’t know him personally but I don’t think its in his character that he could do such thing as some people are accusing him. He was released in Camp Karingal because he was negative of paraffin test. Their household helpers were even arrested for “Obstruction of justice” for cleaning the so called “crime scene” and not reporting to the authorities the incident happened. If this case happened to an ordinary person, every updates and events could be different but the involved is no other than Ted Failon… a newscaster.
I could say that Ted Failon is “astig” (tough) commentator, there could be some people angry of him. I hope this case would not be used to get even. Have you seen the news that Department of Justice Raul Gonzalez Gonzalez has ordered the Public Attorney’s Office (PAO) to stop meddling with Failon’s case.
Suicide or foul play? Its the authorities job to investigate but I hope they won’t forget human rights. I saw TV Patrol news when police arrested Failon’s two househelps for further investigation. I don’t know if its me but I think its harsh on pushing the girl househelp inside the police car avoiding the PAO Attorney. Is he protecting the househelp from the media? Its how I see it, correct me if I’m wrong.
Whatever happens, the truth will prevail. I hope the Failon family will recover soon. My condolences.

Me too, I don’t think he did it. It seems that the police and other media men are biased. It could be that they’re trying to nail him down because he’s hard hitting and do not mince words when it comes to commentaries.

Your perfectly right, ordinary people will not be of importance if the same situation will happen, most likely, even if the crime scene is cleaned or not, difinetely, they will not lift a finger to question anything because they cannot get something in return, but with Failon’s Family, they can be famous or so to interfere with the family’s moment of grief. what they did to the family of Mr. Ted was against human rights, no person is announced guilty without the due process of law, their procedure last night was very inhuman, depriving the family to spent moments with their dying loved ones. It seems they are so excited to nail down the innocent and be hailed as good authorities of the law? dammmn! just wish they can also experience the same, exactly the same thing will happen to them if they want to get even with Ted.
According to Dr. Fortun, a forensic pathologist (our version of CSI) even if the “crime scene” was cleaned they could also found some evidence. I guess, it will be aired later tonight at TV Patrol including Commission on Human Rights stand on police brutality.
Admitting on national TV that it was suicide is hard already on the family’s part.
That was sad…I hope justice prevails.

I don’t want to believe that Ted did it or any of the family..
but since it’s a very hard case,
they need to investigate all that are connected with the victim..
husband or house helpers.. if they stayed together in one roof,
then they are considered as suspect…
That is suspect.. which is different from being guilty..

You know what? The problem in this country is basically our Police System. The fact that the incident violently happened, (bloody red) they are requiring them to report it to the police station? and who could initially think to do that? Is it not right that as a family member you will take her to the hospital to save her life? Then you are filing them for Obstruction of justice? Certainly police officers are unjust to the bereaved family. Not because they have gun and power doesn’t mean that they can do what they want to any individual. Definitely, that was a violation of human rights.
