MANILA, Philippines -- Broadcast journalist Ted Failon was found negative for gunpowder burns, radio reports said today.

Police subjected Failon -- Mario Teodoro Failon Etong in real life -- to paraffin test in connection with the shooting of his wife Trinidad, 45, inside their residence in Tierra Pura Subdivision, Quezon City yesterday morning.

Five other members of the Failon household were also subjected to paraffin test.

Police will also conduct the test on Failon's wife who has been taken to the New Era Hospital in Tandang Sora, Quezon City for a gunshot wound in the head.

Failon left the Quezon City Police District in Camp Karingal this morning after giving his statement.

Failon, along with his daughters, left the police headquarters before 8 a.m. and proceeded to the New Era Hospital.

Police brought Failon to the QCPD-Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit to give his sworn statement past midnight. He claimed that he found his wife inside the bathroom of their daughter with a gunshot wound in the head.

She remains in critical condition.

A haunting tale straight from the heart
STAR BYTES By Butch Francisco Updated April 16, 2009 12:00 AM

I Survived host Ces Drilon interviews survivors to recount the actual events

The two major television networks have a docu-drama each. In 2008, GMA 7 launched Case Unclosed with Kara David (who has since moved to hosting OFW Diaries late Friday nights). Arnold Clavio now anchors the show and I reviewed last Tuesday the program’s episode on the pagoda tragedy in Bocaue, Bulacan. It had comprehensive interviews and an impressive reenactment of what happened when tragedy struck and claimed several lives.
For a couple of weeks now (actually every Thursday), ABS-CBN has been airing I Survived with Ces Drilon. I failed to catch its pilot telecast, but I read somewhere that it was about a mining tragedy.
Its second episode I caught and as I write this, I still couldn’t shake it off my head. The story starts during one of the darkest chapters in the history of the modern world, especially here in the Philippines: The outbreak of the Second World War. We then see a Filipino family accused by the Japanese of coddling guerrillas. The father is skinned to death, while in the bedroom the mother is raped by a Japanese soldier. The narrator — then still in her very teens — recounts the incident. Your heart is crushed when she recalls how she saw her mother “already without skirt” being sexually abused by a Japanese.
An older sister who couldn’t stand the sight of her father being tortured comes to his defense with a wooden club, but is killed instantly. After the soldiers make sure both parents are dead, they herd the three remaining daughters to a camp where they are separated from each other.
Every night, the soldiers ravage the women, but the narrator is spared — thanks to an inflamed arm. A Japanese soldier helps her while she recovers, but once she is well, it is this soldier who first assaults her sexually. Life is hell for them in that camp where they aren’t even properly fed. Their daily ration is thin gruel. When the soldier traps some cattle, they have meat, but these are rare occasions.
When the country is finally liberated, she is reunited with one of her sisters (the other one is never found and is presumed dead). Together, they trace their way back to what was left of their home to start life anew.
Recovering from that nightmare isn’t easy, but she tries to move on and start fresh (the one who has a tougher time is her sister, who always sees images of Japanese soldiers approaching her). In time, the narrator meets a man who loves her and accepts her dark past. Her wedding night, however, is a disaster: She feels like she is being raped all over again by the Japanese. But her husband is kind and patient. And you also have to give it to her for her eternal positive attitude in life. Eventually, she and her husband raise a happy family and they are now doting grandparents to several loving grandchildren.
While I am so happy that she found happiness in the end, I still felt like reaching out to her to give her a tight hug — for going through that ordeal and for getting over it. However, we don’t really know what is in her heart.
I’ve heard and read a lot of other horror tales about comfort women — including Lola Rosa Henson’s diary — but this one recently featured in I Survived is the most horrid. Imagine witnessing your father being tortured to death and your mother being raped and later killed — and then you and your sisters being turned into *** slaves.
I grew up on stories about the Japanese Occupation on my grandmother’s lap and that was how I first learned about the horrors of the Second World War. But even if I’ve already ingested countless accounts about the Japanese brutality, I have yet to get jaded. My heart still bleeds for every victim of war here in the Pacific and even those in faraway Europe, particularly the Jews who suffered under Nazi rule.
I feel so lucky that I only went through EDSA I and II, which were both picnics and my biggest fear is still being around when — heaven forbid — another World War erupts (that should be all nuclear).
But some people — like our parents and grandparents — had the misfortune of living through the Japanese Occupation and there are those who still couldn’t shake off the experience. The narrator in I Survived is one of them and you can’t blame her. Even if she was able to rise above that nightmare there are still moments when the chapters come back to haunt her.
I Survived was fortunate to have her as that episode’s narrator. She told her story coherently — and from the heart. It was like everything just happened yesterday.
Apparently, even if the war happened more that 60 years ago, the memories are still painful, especially for those who greatly suffered. Let’s all hope and pray that the Spratley’s issue is settled peacefully among the claimants. As they say, nobody wins in a war. Everyone ends up a victim.

Pangungunahan ng magaling at batang-batang immigration lawyer na si Atty. Mike Templo ang pagbibigay ng payo at impormasyon, kasama pa ang ilang dalubhasa na handa ring makinig at magbigay liwanag sa mga isyu ng global Pinoys.
Aabangan din sa Crossing Borders ang mga kuwento ng mga Pilipinong nagtagumpay sa ibang bansa na tunay namang magbibigay ng inspirasyon sa ating mga kababayan.

Balik-ABS-CBN pala si Manilyn Reynes dahil walang maibigay na project sa kanya ang GMA 7. Nakipag-usap na sa management ng Channel 2 istasyon ang manager nitong si Olive de Jesus para sa pagbabalik ng singer-actress sa Kapamilya network.
Kailangang may regular income si Manilyn dahil bumili ng bahay na kahit maganda pa ay ipina-total renovation nila ng asawang si Aljon Jimenez. Hindi nito ini-expect na matsutsugi ang Moms at ’di siya masasama sa mga teleserye ng Channel 7. Mabuti na lang at kasama siya sa pelikulang OMG! bilang ghost singer ni Judy Ann at least, may talent fee siya doon.
Samantala, ayaw nang patulan ni Manilyn ang babaeng nagpapakilalang Mrs. Jimenez at siya raw ang tunay na asawa ni Aljon. Hindi yata alam ng girl na screen name lang ni Aljon ang Jimenez at iba ang tunay nitong apelyido.

SANGA-SANGANDILA Ni Veronica R. Samio Updated April 16, 2009 12:00 AM

For practical reasons kaya dala-dalawa ang aktres na gumaganap ng role ng kambal na ginampanan lamang ng mag-isa ni Rio Locsin sa movie version ng Kambal sa Uma na mapapanood na ang TV remake sa Lunes, Abril 20 sa ABS-CBN.
“Maikli lamang ang pelikula samantalang pinaka­maikli nang tatakbuhin ng Kambal sa Uma ang one season o 13 episodes. Mahihirapan ang artista kung mag-isa lamang siya kaya nag-decide ang ABS-CBN na dalawang aktres ang paganapin ng roles ng kambal na sina Ella at Vira, sina Shaina Magdayao at Melissa Ricks,” anang isa sa dalawang direktor ng serye na si Manny Palo. Ang isa pa ay si Retchie del Carmen.
Maraming mga pagbabago ang ginawa sa TV remake. Bukod sa nagdagdag ng mga characters na binigyan ng maraming dimensyon, nagdagdag din ng mga plots. Bukod kina Melissa Ricks at Shaina at sa mga partners nilang sina Matt Evans at Jason Abalos, major role rin ang gagampanan ni Rio Locsin bilang ina ng kambal na ipinaglihi ang mga anak sa daga.
“Pero hindi ako kumain ng daga gaya ng ipinakikita sa mga trailers. Takot ako sa daga. Unlike nung 1979 when we made the film version, talagang pumayag ang gumanap na ina ko na si Lucita Soriano na kumain ng totoong daga. Sa Baguio rin where we shot the film, naglakad ako sa kalsada ng nakayapak,” kuwento ni Rio na atubiling tanggapin ang role niya sa series dahil may isa pa siyang ginagawa with Judy Ann Santos.
“Nag-alala ako na baka hindi ko kayanin ang schedule. Pero dahil pansamantala kaming nagpa­hi­nga sa kabilang serye kung kaya nakaya ko ang ma­daliang taping para makahabol sa playdate sa April 30,” sabi pa ng magaling na aktres.
Maganda rin ang theme song ng serye, ang Kung Iniibig Ka Niya na kinanta ni Laarni Lozada sa presscon ng pelikula. Pinalakpakan ang galing ng pagkakakanta niya na isang komposisyon ni Vehnee Saturno at kasama sa latest album nito.

Kung may isa man sa cast ng Kambal sa Uma na malaki ang expectation sa nasabing serye, ito ay si Bangs Garcia na gumaganap ng role ng adoptive sister ni Shaina. Galit ito sa inampong kapatid dahil feeling niya, mas mahal ito ng ama kaysa sa kanya.
“Wala akong balak palamon sa akting ng mga co-stars ko. Kakaririn ko ang pagiging isang kontrabida dito para matapos man ang series, maalala ako ng mga manonood,” matapang na sabi ni Bangs.

Walang problema kung support man ang role sa bagong serye ni JayR Siaboc. Marami kasi ang nagi-expect ng reaction sa singer-actor dahil nakapagbida na ito pero ngayon ay support na lamang.
“Kasalanan ko rin kasi nagpataba ako, ayun nabawasan ang mga projects ko. Okay lang kahit anong role ang mapunta sa akin. Hangad ko lang naman ay magkatrabaho ako. Wala pa rin naman akong napapatunayan kaya wala akong karapatang magreklamo. Naririyan pa naman ang singing ko.
“Hindi ang pagiging support ang nakaka-bother sa akin kundi ang mga sitsit na kesyo pinapaboran ako ng nakatataas sa network. Nakakahiya dahil may nadadamay na ibang tao,” sabi ng Philippine Dream Academy finalist.
