ABS-CBN Newscaster - Ted Failon's Wife In Critical Condition - Suicide or Homicide?

It was all abuzz in the news last night and today when Ted Failon - well-known newscaster of ABS-CBN had to cut his show on the radio to rush home apparently his wife shot herself in the head.

Ted Failon and his entire household became suspects in this very public suicide they're calling it. Only time will tell, if his wife, Trinidad, does wake up to tell the tale that should simplify things. But for now I guess we'll have to depend on the police and the media for news on the matter

Police authorities on Thursday said the paraffin test on news anchorman Ted Failon (Teodoro Etong) yielded negative result, but clarified that this is not yet conclusive.

The paraffin test on Failon was conducted in connection with the shooting of his wife Trinidad in their house in Quezon City Wednesday.

“Yung paraffin test kay Ted Failon yielded negative but it is not yet conclusive," said National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO) head Chief Superintendent Roberto Rosales in a press conference at Camp Katingal in Quezon City.

Rosales said that they are still gathering pieces of evidence to determine the nature of Trinidad’s shooting.

He also said that the note supposedly written by Trinidad is not necessarily a suicide note. “It’s a sorry note."

He added that they are still investigating whether it was Trinidad herself who wrote the note, which read: “Papa, I’m so sorry. Gustung-gusto ko ang magsabi sa iyo ng totoo pero hindi ko po alam kung paano uumpisahan. Sobrang takut 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."

[Papa, I’m so sorry. I really want to tell you the truth but I don’t know where to start. I am so scared. I left home because I cannot take it anymore and I don’t think I can face you. I hope you can forgive me, papa. Sorry, sorry papa – Mama.]

Asked whether the police would file a case against Failon, Rosales said," After we examine the pieces of evidence, that’s the time you will be able to build or not. We have to wait for the final results…."

Rosales also assured that the investigation would be fair and would follow due process.

“Walang sacred cow [There will be no sacred cow in the investigation]. I would like to emphasize that we would treat this case just like any other case," Rosales said.

Everybody thinks its tragic but people are divided as to the cause of the event. He's a public personality there's no hiding this from them. They will have to endure the public eye, specially now.
