Ted Failon’s case is the headline news these days, I’m avoiding to post updates but not my observations on the said case. It was aired on Teleradyo this afternoon that Mrs. Trinidad “Trina” Etong’s paraffin test result was negative. To ordinary people, they may think that Ted Failon is guilty of parricide.
An interview with Dr. Racquel Fortun, a forensic pathologist explained everything, I’m sure it will be aired later tonight in TV Patrol. She said that other countries have stop using paraffin test as part of scientific investigation in the 60s because it was unrealiable. Its odd that Philippines still continue using paraffin test until now. She said that in this case, powder burns is already gone because the so called “shooting” happened in Tuesday (today is already Friday) and Mrs. Failon was hospitalized. For example, before an IV or dextrose was inserted on a patient’s hands, it was wiped with cotton moistened with alcohol. There are other hospital procedures that could wiped the powder residue from the hands of Mrs. Failon.
With the release of the paraffin test result of Etong, QCPD is now investigating for parricide and/or homicide case for ABS CBN Newscaster Ted Failon. Did they forgot that Failon was also negative for powder burns? Whatever QCPD says that its not “something personal” between QCPD and Failon, but it shows. Thank God that CHR (Commission on Human Rights) is also investigating on police brutality on this case. I’ve mentioned that from my previous post. I agree that these policemen should be removed from their position, not suspended.
My sympathy with Failon’s family, I don’t think that there’s a conspiracy here because everyone is part of the family. Even the house helpers are working with the Failon for so many years, its impossible not to threat them as part of the family. I should know because I also have a nanny that worked for me for over 10 years.
As of this writing, Mrs. Trinidad Etong remains is already in Arlington and closed door for family only, relatives and friends will be allowed tomorrow at 1:00 pm.
