i know, and that's my opinion for this issue.

anyway, it might be a foul play. i don't know what's the reason. but, for sure... it's a really big big issue for the family... good luck to them!

Papa, Im so so sorry gustong gusto ko pong magsabi sa yo ng totoo, pero hindi ko po alam kung papaano ko uumpisahan.

"Sobrang takot na takot po ako. Umalis po muna ako. Kasi hindi ko po kayang at nahihiya po ako sayo humarap.

"Sana po mapawad mo ako papa. Sorry, sorry Papa

Mama"

this "suicide note" is addressed to Ted Failon man diba?
weird lagi, mag "po" sya sa iyang husband.

weird lagi, mag "po" sya sa iyang husband.

i found that weird to kay "po" is a form of respect for someone older and respected... basin ingon ana ra gud ila family... form og training the children to say "po and opo" then nadala na lang bitaw...

i think its foul play.. but hoping im wrong....

Broadcaster Ted Failon faces arrest for possible obstruction of justice

According to latest reports, veteran broadcaster Ted Failon was brought to Camp Karingal in Quezon City late Wednesday night, April 15, to give his statement to the police on the shooting incident involving his wife, Trinidad "Trina" Etong. Trina is still in critical condition after sustaining a wound in her head. She is still in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of the New Era Hospital in Quezon City.

The investigators are looking into two possible angles—suicide and foul play.

SUICIDE OR FOUL PLAY? Initial findings of the investigators claim that it was Failon who shot his wife morning of Wednesday, April 15.

But this was immediately dismissed by Superintendent Franklin Moises Mabanag, chief of the QCPD Criminal Investigation Detection Unit. In an interview, Mabanag said that investigators are looking into the possibility that Failon’s wife tried to commit suicide.

According to a statement from Failon that he sent to the media, through ABS-CBN Corporate Communications of his home netwok, he found his wife in the bathroom of their home in Tierra Pura Homes in Tandang Sora, Quezon City.

His statement reads in full:

"Hindi ko na tinapos ang aking programa sa DZMM kaninang umaga matapos kong makausap ang aking asawa sa telepono. Kaya umuwi ako kaagad at natagpuan kong nakakandado ang pinto ng banyo. Pinabuksan ko ang pinto at natagpuan ko ang aking asawa na duguan kung kaya't itinakbo ko siya agad sa ospital."

There was also reportedly a suicide note left by Trina.

“Papa, I’m so sorry. Gustung-gusto ko ang magsabi sa iyo ng totoo pero hindi ko po alam kung paano uumpisahan. Sobrang takot na takot ako. Umalis muna ako, kasi hindi ko kaya at nahihiya akong humarap sa iyo. Sana po mapatawad mo ako, papa. Sorry, sorry papa – Mama," read the alleged suicide note.

Trina was believed to have shot herself with Failon's gun inside their bathroom.

THE INVESTIGATION. In a report by 24 Oras earlier tonight, Mabanag was at the house of the Failons. Mabanag said that all the procedures, including paraffin test, will be done inside the house.

According to Mabanag, all of the residents of the house are now considered suspects, including Failon—whose real name is Mario Teodoro Failon Etong.

In connection with this, a news website reported that the Quezon City Police is going to arrest Failon for "obstruction of justice and tampering with evidence" in the shooting of his wife.

Mabanag told the media that they have enough information to arrest Failon for the two charges in connection with his wife’s shooting inside their residence on Wednesday morning.

FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE. Earlier this afternoon, April 15, ABS-CBN issued this statement to the media: "We appeal to everyone to please respect the privacy of Ted and his family. His wife is fighting for her life." This is after reports came out that the couple were involved in a "shooting incident."

PEP tried to confirm a report claiming that Failon's wife is allegedly brain dead by sending a text message to ABS-CBN Corporate Communications Head Bong Osorio. He sent us this reply: "We are awaiting medical [report]."

However, New Era Hospital refused to give specific information about the condition of Trina. This is after Failon instructed them not to give any details to the media

this is a sad story .. ingon pa ang abs cbn nga "respect the privacy of failon" .. unta ingon ana sila pirme sa mga handling sa mga news nila sa ubang tawo .. and ilang reason kay" it is news, every one has a right to know", mao nga invading na kaayo sa privacy ang mga newsmen sa mga nabiktima ug mga crime perpetrators .. wala nay "respect sa privacy" .. well, this is just an example that even in media ..not all are created equal" .. hehe .. well, it is always diferent when one is put on the spotlight, and not others!

possible reason? if it's suicide? she's already contended of her life.
if it's foul play she got a yellow card!
