I was debating with myself whether to write about this. Sleep on it and wait for more developments, my hubby Alan who is my de facto editor, advised me.
And so I did. I’m glad I did.
Because Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. did a most unusual thing this Saturday. He agreed to be interviewed by phone on the TV gossip show Startalk.
Hours later, that very night, he staged what the Philippine Daily Inquirer described was “a hastily called press conference” where he asked the Department of Foreign Affairs “to exert legal and diplomatic efforts to bring Ramona back to the country and face our justice system.”
Now Saturday press conferences are unusual in the news business. A prominent personality calls for a weekend press con when he has an urgent thing to say. Or when he wants to downplay an important thing, knowing people are resting and won’t really bother to read it. Sundays are usually busy family days.
A weekend press conference could also indicate haste or panic.
Anyway, two things stuck out for me in Sen. Bong Revilla’s hastily called press con. First, he asked the DFA to look for his half-sister Ramona, tagged as an accomplice to the murder of her older brother Ramgen.
Second, the senator dismissed the postings made by Ramona’s mother, Genelyn Magsaysay, on the social networking site Facebook “as an attempt to distract investigators and muddle the ongoing probe,” Inquirer said.
Then Inquirer quoted Sen. Bong as simply saying, in answer to the question about Genelyn’s postings:
Let’s not change the topic.
Oh, but we simply can’t do that.
Genelyn’s postings on FB show the dynamics between Senator Bong – the legitimate first-born son of Sen. Ramon Revilla Sr – and the woman who bore Sen. Bong’s father nine children in 23 years. That would roughly be two children every two to three years. No easy task.
UPDATE:
My attention has been called by many commenters to this piece that Senator Bong’s mother, Azucena Mortel, is not the real or first wife or legitimate wife of Senator Ramon Revilla Sr.
Actually, I don’t know if this is really case. But I’m awaiting proof.
One commenter also pointed out that Sen. Bong Revilla is not the FIRST-BORN son, but the second son. The first, being Marlon Bautista. I’ve checked and the commenter is right.
My mistake on that one.
The handsome Senator Bong, who topped last year’s senatorial elections with 19.5 million votes, is clearly eying the vice-presidency or the presidency in 2016. He is the only other senator representing former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s Lakas-Kampi Party in the Senate. The other is Sen. Lito Lapid.
I promised myself that as a responsible journalist I have to help dig up facets of the lives of every politician seeking high office. We don’t want skeletons tumbling out of closets the way they did during Joseph Estrada’s presidency.
I did some calculations and was intrigued to find out that Genelyn and Sen. Bong are roughly the same age:
- Sen. Bong was born Sept. 25, 1966 and is three years older than Genelyn
- Genelyn was born Dec. 20, 1969
- Sen. Bong’s wife, Lani, was born April 13, 1968, which makes her a year older than Genelyn.
That would make Sen. Bong 45, his wife Lani 43, and Genelyn 42. But if you look at all three, you would think Genelyn is the oldest.
Sen. Bong reveals a family secret – and bares a double standard
When Sen. Bong revealed Saturday some family secrets, such as his father Revilla Sr. feeling disappointed by Genelyn’s eldest daughter Ramona because Ramona got married at age 19 to a Turkish national and therefore she should should not disappoint them a second time and quickly return home to face the murder charge, the senator’s statement is truly rich with irony.
Genelyn herself gave birth to her first-born Ramgen – her love child by Sen. Bong’s dad – when she was only 19 years old. That must have been a hushed-up scandal then, considering she was a daughter of former Senator Genaro Magsaysay.
Sen. Bong fathered his oldest son Leonard Bryan (born November 1986) when he was only 20 years old and his partner Lani was only 18 years old – even younger than when Ramona got married.
It’s quite interesting that both Revilla father and son expect a far different behavior from the women in the Revilla clan.
Sen. Bong’s eldest sister, Rowena, once told PEP that the girls in the clan were barred from dating boys:
Hindi ka puwede sa mga boys; sa pagdadamit lang, grabe, sobrang strikto. I got married at the age of 30 na, ayaw pa niya. My goodness! Ganun siya.
Rowena was referring to her horny dad who had fathered at least 72 children in 84 years.
He tried to protect his daughters from men like himself.
Sen. Bong has also revealed that Ramgen was his father’s favorite son. But he did not say how he really felt about THAT. If he had resented being replaced in his father’s affections or resented the fact that it was Genelyn’s son, and not his own son Leonard Bryan, who was lolo-dad’s favorite.
Genelyn’s place in the Revilla clan
Even if Revilla Sr. fathered 72 children by 16 different women, there was only one other woman in his life who was constantly by his side. And that woman was Genelyn. Genelyn seriously came into his life when she gave birth to Ramgen in 1988.
And apparently, Azucena, the real wife of Revilla Sr., welcomed the baby with open arms. She even allowed the baby Ramgen to be dropped off to the family compound to play with her grandchildren, even Sen. Bong Revilla confirmed.
When Azucena died in 1998, Genelyn became the loving companion of Ramon Sr. Through all the betrayals and liaisons that Ramon Sr.continued to commit, you could see in their photos that Genelyn truly loved him and Ramon Sr. doted on her.
She and their children were there for him.

Genelyn posted this photo on Facebook last Sept. 24-11 showing Ramon Sr. horsing around with three of their children

On Nov. 6, 2011, Genelyn changed her profile photo on FB to this, showing her nine children cuddling up to their father, Sen. Ramon Revilla Sr.
Genelyn Magsaysay’s status may have changed under Philippine law
Now, this is what’s intriguing.
When Azucena died in 1998, Genelyn’s legal status MAY have changed under Philippine law. She was no longer The Other Woman. She MAY have become The Companion of the former Senator Revilla, who by then became a widower.
The 1987 Family Code recognizes the right of The Companion to inherit, provided certain conditions are met under this provision:
Chapter 7. Property Regime of Unions Without Marriage
Art. 147. When a man and a woman who are capacitated to marry each other, live exclusively with each other as husband and wife without the benefit of marriage or under a void marriage, their wages and salaries shall be owned by them in equal shares and the property acquired by both of them through their work or industry shall be governed by the rules on co-ownership.
In the absence of proof to the contrary, properties acquired while they lived together shall be presumed to have been obtained by their joint efforts, work or industry, and shall be owned by them in equal shares. For purposes of this Article, a party who did not participate in the acquisition by the other party of any property shall be deemed to have contributed jointly in the acquisition thereof if the former’s efforts consisted in the care and maintenance of the family and of the household.
Neither party can encumber or dispose by acts inter vivos of his or her share in the property acquired during cohabitation and owned in common, without the consent of the other, until after the termination of their cohabitation.
When only one of the parties to a void marriage is in good faith, the share of the party in bad faith in the co-ownership shall be forfeited in favor of their common children. In case of default of or waiver by any or all of the common children or their descendants, each vacant share shall belong to the respective surviving descendants. In the absence of descendants, such share shall belong to the innocent party. In all cases, the forfeiture shall take place upon termination of the cohabitation. (144a)
Art. 148. In cases of cohabitation not falling under the preceding Article, only the properties acquired by both of the parties through their actual joint contribution of money, property, or industry shall be owned by them in common in proportion to their respective contributions. In the absence of proof to the contrary, their contributions and corresponding shares are presumed to be equal. The same rule and presumption shall apply to joint deposits of money and evidences of credit.
Unfortunately, the arrangement was apparently disrupted after 10 years.
On Sept. 30, 2008 – or five days after Sen. Bong’s 42nd birthday – the delicate balance of love, harmony and perhaps resentment in the Revilla clan was terribly upset. Ramon Sr. suffered a serious stroke from which he has never fully recovered.
It is in this context that we can now examine Genelyn’s Facebook account, which functions more like her online wailing diary.
It shows The Anguish of The Other Woman/Companion whose man is dying, but who still has so many years of life before her and so many children to feed.
Last Saturday, Sen. Bong dismissed Genelyn’s FB postings as mere ravings, meant to distract investigators from the murder.
That’s how he looks at it.
Genelyn’s Facebook is her online diary
I think her FB postings may actually place the murder in context.
You see, the way Facebook works, every post is time-stamped. You can erase previous postings. But you cannot go back to a previous posting and change the time-stamp. And so you can trust that if Genelyn posted something earlier than the Oct. 28 murder of her son, the time stamp for that post is accurate.
Genelyn also placed her Facebook filter to “Public” – meaning, any Facebook member can access it. Because of this, I believe I am not violating her right to privacy. Even after some of her FB posts came out in the media, she has not turned her filter to “Private”.
Which means, she wants the whole world to know her pain.
I am not siding with her. I’m merely pointing out a possible avenue of police investigation into the death of Ramgen. If his siblings quarreled with him over money, what really brought this on?
The police claim Ramgen’s murder was prompted by the siblings’ squabble over the “allowance” they had been getting from Daddy Ramon.
Genelyn’s FB postings showed that months before the murder, the allowance being doled out to her and her children had been slowly shrinking.
What has received much media attention is Genelyn’s FB posting last October 21 – just a week before her son was killed. She wrote then:

Genelyn's post on Facebook of Oct. 21-11 is addressed to someone who intends to run for the presidency
It seems to be a dig at Sen. Bong Revilla.
Seriously, under the Constitution, Sen. Bong is well qualified to run for president. And he IS his father’s political heir in every way.
What could have prompted Genelyn’s rant?
Earlier postings show that in October 9, Genelyn was having money problems because their “allowance” from Ramon Sr. had been “cut.”
Previous postings also talk about her depression and money problems:
Genelyn’s circumstances apparently changed earlier this year
Last July 31, Genelyn hinted on FB that someone was breaking up with her:
And posted the song below by James Ingram –
Minutes later, Genelyn posted again, saying
With this song by David Gates –
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=cPts5GE-aNQ
Minutes later, she posted yet another song saying –
Over a week later, her mood had not changed. She posted two songs – “It’s over now”
And – she wrote “ASA TO THE MAX” along with the song – What if, babyface
But on Aug 19, 2011, Genelyn unveiled a more defiant mood in her post below:
But then her mood dropped again. On Sept 16, she wrote:
However, on Oct 14 – two weeks before the murder – Genelyn wrote this curious post with an accompanying picture of her and Ramon Sr. She said they were “consecrated” together in Church.
Is that the equivalent of a Catholic marriage? Or was Genelyn spinning a fantasy for herself?
I don’t know. But if that was a marriage, then Genelyn gets half her husband’s fortune.
Even if untrue, the Family Code of 1987 MAY still protect her and her children, as I mentioned earlier.
Genelyn uses Facebook to bare her side on the Family Feud
Genelyn and Sen. Bong Revilla are NOT friends on Facebook. This would tell you a lot about their relationship.
From her FB postings and those of her other children, you will get the impression that the children are convinced to this day that someone else is framing Ramona and Ramon Joseph for Ramgen’s murder.
For instance, her son Rueben posted:
Genelyn’s son-in-law called police investigators “stupid” –
If true, who could it be?
If not, how could Genelyn bear the thought of two children killing their own brother?
In this unfolding saga of the Revilla clan, what role will Sen. Bong Revilla end up playing?
abs says
Stupid Genelyn!!!
Gerardo Barrica says
I believe she is doing it out of desperation. Women are such frail beings destined to make foolish decisions. This may her way of black mail to pressure whoever is holding their allowance.
raissa says
Ehem.
Frail?
amante_rador says
hahaha, frail daw? i don’t find women frail…
macspeed says
good thoughts…
rankuruno says
it was an interesting read…
raissa says
I’m glad.
VM says
Miss Robles,
You call yourself a journalist but you base your article on the ramblings of an admittedly mentally ill woman on facebook. Shame on you.
raissa says
And who are YOU?
Charles says
Still doesn’t rebut his remark.
macspeed says
VM your name is evil…
FB records are FACTS, time stamped, you know what is the meaning of that??? Genelyn actions were recorded on FACTS, thanks to FB creator, his blessings are ten folds…I don’t need to tell you the verse in Al Qur-an Al Kareem, because you are WORTHLESS CREATURE….BOUND TO BE BURNED IN HELL…
pilipina tuod says
okay na sana ang article kya lang medyo naduwal po ako sa picture ni genelyn magsaysay na naka-short.
at wala na ba syang bukambibig kundi pera, pera, pera? no wonder nagkaloko-loko ang mga anak niya dahil sa – once again – pera. and to think, si genelyn din ang pinagmulan ng away ng magkakapatid kasi di nya nabayaran yung bills nila dahil nagastos nya yung budget para dun at baon pa sya sa utang sa credit card. ang gusto ko ngayon makita yung listahan ng kung ano ang pinagbibili ni genelyn at umabot ng malaki ang utang nya.
intrigued says
@Pilipina tuod–sabay tayong naduwal. nakakahiya na talaga itong si Genelyn puro denials ang lumalabas sa bibig. kung harapin niya ang katotohanan eh di sana medyo nakaabante na ang kaso sa tutuong pumatay kay Ramgen at bumarll kay Janelle. Puro tanggi, alibis at maraming pang tsetseburetse ang itong si Genelyn. Sa tingin ko eh manic-depressive itong si Genelyn dahil sa sobrang pagwaldas nang pera baka nagawa niya ito during her manic mental state. Hay naku–nakakalurkey talaga.
macspeed says
Pilipina tuod he he he don’t loo at the pictures he he he you will be jealous and turn to critical comments.
Just imagined 9 children went out of her, 9 babies are from God no matter what, she was blessed to have those babies, did you ever get one???
aykentteykitenimor says
Malabo ang anggulo ng Inheritance kaya pinatay si ramgen…edi sana si genelyn na lang ang itinumba kasi sya ang masmalaki ang mamanahin….kung love triangle…..nadevelop ang PA kay Janelle kaya binaril ito twice at galit na galit dahil sa selos kaya sampung saksak ang ginawa tapos natulog ulit….hahahahah…ano kaya ang iba pang anggulo…kung kapatid magpapapatay…bakit sa sarili nilang bahay….ang dali naman sa labas….since sa bahay din lang ginawa sana finud poison na lang edi wala ng binayarang killers at suspects….hahahaha….pagnaispelikula ito maraming manuuod….patok at ibat ibang version…but still the real killer hasnt been identified…
Ninjacops says
I could not see any unusual, haste or panic with bong calling a press con asap. it’s very much usual for you to find justice asap for a loved one you’ve lost..the very unusual thing there is his half sister leaving the country…it’s not really normal that you’ve lost your full-bloodied brother in such a gruesome crime and yet, you left for some shallow reason without even helping find justice for him..it’s not really normal that you are being implicated for such crime and yet you left without even clearing your name and simply prove to people that you are not involved..
eye says
Perhaps, there is nothing ‘unusual, haste and panic’ with Sen. Bong calling a press con asap … if indeed, he was to be the lead person for the family. But to give the press con in two personalities was to me, not right.
If he was to bail out and be the Senator of the land when things got sticky … than he should not have called a press con at all and refer it to another to be the senator of the family. He should have had the foresight to discern which duty weighed more and which one he would see all the way through.
By coming out all grand and releasing a hefty reward of 500,000, kinda huge for my taste, for any information and then washing his hands to leave the family out on the limp is not naman nice.
As for Ramona, she obviously isn’t all together. But after she had seen what in their opinion was Sen Bong’s indifference towards her other brother RJ’s police interview turned arrest … fear and isolation must have taken over whatever sanity she had … no one … not even her own father to help her clear her name … so she ran … to her husband … can you blame her?
catt70 says
ask lang ha lahat ba na anak ni SEN. RAMON REVILLA ganoon ba kalaki mga allowances nila?
eye says
PriscillaLu1234 … I might have lost you in the strolling (don’t know how this works) … just wanted to reply on your comment on Ramgen and the allowance … Absolutely, I completely agree with you … the two free loaders Ramgen and Janelle should have been on their own.
The texts leaves a lot to be desired for on how the household was run. For the younger siblings to go hungry and have to ran to the old man for relief paints a very dark gloomy picture … beckoning a frightful retaliation from an abuser.
A ‘strict disciplinarian’ was what the lawyers of Janelle described Ramgen according to Janelle … in my observation, he was one heck of an abuser … to use a gun on your sibling for whatever reason says he’s flipped. I’m sure, Janelle was not spared from his abuse either.
what da says
Tama ka eye–hindi naman siguro makakaisip nang masama sa iyo ang sinumang tao kumg matuwid, tama at may respeto ka sa iyong kapwa. what da hell did he hit his sibling with a butt of gun. ano ba iyan talaga. makita mo lang ang baril eh matatakot ka na eh yun pa ka kayang ihampas sa iyo. Janelle mentioned that she lived with the Revillas for 5 years –eh sino naman ang nag susupport sa kanya doon kung wala namang stable na trabaho si Ramgen? Kaloka talaga!
Teresa Gascoyne says
I think we should go back to the bible to help us understand all of these complications. There’s nothing new under the sun, it’s all been written. In 2 Samuel 13,if you will read the entire chapter: Absalom, king David son, killed his half- brother Amnon, because, Amnon raped his half-sister Tamar. From this example you will notice how tightly knitted are full siblings and how they hated the halfs. I don’t believe that Mara and Rj are responsible for the murder of Ramgen, the bible has a lot to say about this.
Good job Raissa for shedding light to all this, Genelyn and her family been an underdog.
Japanino says
Okay, I just saw the news clip showing Ramona’s latest statement. It was showing a page where she states that when she left the house, her brother, sister and her sister’s husband were already outside waiting for her. If this is so, how come she was “found” at a mall later on, and was said to look very confused and dazed…..now I am really starting to believe that these siblings are all involved in this murder. Wait … wasn’t she seen by the security guards walking out of the gate too? Ramona’s stories keep changing.
I also saw the video clip of Gail being interviewed at the hospital. She was denying any involvement to the crime…why was she all smiles during the entire interview? Shouldn’t she be pissed off if she were innocent?
Aren’t these sibling way too old to still be receiving financial support? Ramona and Gail are supposedly married – why do they still need monetary support from their father? Shouldn’t they be responsible for their own financial means now that they are married?
My comment about the mother, Genelyn…where is your pride? Why don’t you work? Why are you depending on this old man’s financial support ? If Ramon Sr. passes away tomorrow, what will you do? If you were at home raising your children as you claim, what kind of children are you raising? What values and morals are you teaching them? To find someone rich for them to live off? SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
that’s all …just venting! =)
eye says
If you get to a page called “Gail Bautista&Hiru Furuyama : Guilty” on facebook your head will spin … [I tried to post the link and texts (still awaiting moderation from our host Raissa) between the siblings.]
There it states that the two older married women are not getting any allowances anymore but rather they are even helping with the bills of the house … cuz of Genelyn’s inability to manage the allowance properly.
Japanino says
If that is so, why then is Genelyn claiming she is raising 9 kids? I will try to find that page. Thanks for the tip. I’m just intrigued by all that I’ve been reading and hearing about since this event occurred! (nosey-mode!)
PriscillaLu1234 says
The one who is asking for his allowances is Ramgen, acc. to text messages bet. him and Gail. He and Janelle should have just kept on with their careers.
constance says
Yes i agree –why doesn’t Genelyn work. She’s healthy enough and she has connection within the government and movie world. What is stopping her from doing some hard yakka. This family has so many opportunities in life but they just squandered these away. The father should put his inputs as the head of the family too. They all need counselling. The way the case is shaping up, I’d say it will take years to get to the bottom of it. Most probably Ramon Sr. would be pushing daisies by then.
PriscillaLu1234 says
There are also inconsistencies among the accusers and among supporters of Bong Revilla Jr. For example his manager or whatever, Lolit Solis said the family of Genelyn was getting a million monthly. It turns out it was only P150,000. Big difference.
Also, Glaiza is saying Gail is part of it, but her own partner who is also a witness NEVER mentioned Gail at the start. Why is that? And as to the video you saw, is it this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwSp9FsR66I.
Because you can clearly see she is angry when asked questions, but when answering she smiles, this is just normal, when a person is mad they want to laugh it off or show they are strong and not affected by crazy rumors and cruel accusations. Gail is also smiling when she holds her newborn baby. No matter what the situation, any mother is happy when her baby is born.
As for financial support, Genelyn said in an interview with Jessica Soho that she took care of Revilla Sr. when he became ill in 2008. She was with him the whole time until Ramgen was killed. That is expected, because the mother of Bong Revilla is dead, so Genelyn is the one who will watch over him.
In another interview it said Genelyn was used to “luxurious” living, quoting an accountant who noted she incurred a debt by purchasing designer bags. Even middle class women sell designer bags as a sideline business. One thing Genelyn certainly didn’t seem to do was have liposuction which is quite expensive. There have been so many cruel and insensitive comments about her being overweight.
As a young mother of nine children, her chances to have a career were probably overtaken by being pregnant and watching over her children. Perhaps Revilla Sr. also, having many other women, was not present enough to help her with raising the children.
She has already lost one son, suddenly anyone who defends her other accused children are also being accused of the murder. From JR it became Ramona, and suddenly Gail and even the mother. It looks like a vendetta against a family if you ask me.
Who will benefit from the old man’s inheritance if this family is destroyed, ostracized and taken out of the picture? All the “evidence” is from “witnesses” who distance themselves from the crime and say they just heard this from so and so. And they all surfaced immediately after Bong and Strike Revilla offered a reward. Where is the weapon? So soon after the death of Ramgen, the place could easily be cordoned off and blood samples, lab samples, etc. could be taken. People can lie very easily, especially when they will say something but add they didn’t have anything to do with it personally, which is what is happening right now.
eye says
I agree … Gail is probably the most put together of the Genelyn clique that we have seen so far. Of course, after the birth of anyone’s first born, one would have a more surreal take on things but having said that, she did look very calm and unperturbed by the questions.
Forget this Lolit Solis … just by her demeanor in this case and many others before, one can see that she wallows in filth … strives in intrigues and earns her keep doing so.
Glaiza and all the other ‘for hire’ are just what they are ‘for hire’. Lest, one of them admits to being there on that fatal evening then all their stories could very well be anyone’s tale.
It can not be easy being Genelyn. With all the other women and children pulling and tagging at Don Ramon, you’d be lucky to have any sense of self esteem. Raising or even just oversee nine children grow up is no piece of cake.
However, had she been given proper guidance, she should have worked on improving herself with the foresight that her youth and beauty would not last forever and that the old man would also grow older and useless [as he is apparently now]. Imelda Marcos did this for herself when found herself unaccepted by the so called upper class.
If she had done anything for self development [which was robbed of her by her youthful involvement with the old man] she would be a very different woman today.
Her foiled attempt at producing a movie could have only left her more daunted; so she tries buying and selling designer bags, another foiled endeavor that brought on heavy repercussions. What a mess.
None can really judge her with her atypical reactions to things. She is caught in the labyrinth of the lost of a son, the instinct to protect her accused daughter/s, her obligation to clear and work on the release her incarcerated son and her delight of being a grandmother for the first time … then, if she is still able, aid her son’s girlfriend of five years in her grief plus her recovery … How more complicated can it get … I dread to wonder.
Rezee says
if i have 9 children….i don’t think i can focus on work and focus on raising 9 children at the same time….i’ll choose to focus on raising my childs…… and let the man who give me 9 childer to help me….. i always put my self on gevelyn’s side…9 children?… 1 or 2 is enough to make u crazy…but 9?..i dont think i can handle it :) …… GodBless u Genelyn…and ur children….. keep in faith
josue jabola says
Agree kami japanino. Bible said, “Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth´´,( Prov 27:1). If Ramon Sr. passes away tomorrow, what will happen? Genelyn said: about Luk 16:21-23, Lazarus is a beggar, who goes to Abraham,s side and the rich man to hades but Genelyn,s family are not beggars, they were fed and supported. God Said, Heb 13:5 “Be content …etc.´´. And most especially, on the first hand, she commited fornication:
Case 1: If a married man has a relationship with an unmarried woman, the man is committing Adultery, while the woman is committing Fornication.
Case 2: If a married man has a relationship with an unmarried, but betrothed (engaged)woman, the man is committing Adultery, while the woman is committing Fornication.
Bible Engineering explanation:
http://www.rmsbibleengineering.com/Page2/Adultery/Page2_1.html#item2
Abraham & Sarah were blessed by God because they were legally married as the real husband and wife. While Hagar, the second wife is also blessed materially but the great promises of God were given to the legal wife. To Genelyn, they were been blessed materially, but the great promises of God, is in the real legal family. (as my openion!!) :))

(The following is the transcript of the text messages taken by police investigators from the mobile phone of Ramgen Bautista, who was killed on Oct. 28. Some of his siblings are suspected to be behind his death. The Inquirer obtained the document from sources who requested anonymity.–Editors)

Genelyn Magsaysay was accompanied by 4 children—Ragene, Ramlyn, Reuben, and Rafael—in submitting Ramona’s statement to Assistant Prosecutor Leah Roma.
Given all that has been said and published about this case I must say that it was STILL a heart breaking sight to watch. No presence and absolutely no stench of the old man, may it be his lawyer, his spoke person … no nothing … WHY?
eye says
Had there been a plot discussed … during a fit of angry …
surely, a few of us, up in our years must have been pushed to that point when we had entertained and discussed different scenarios of hiring a hit man to JUST do someone in …
5K was supposedly the going rate, more expensive if they are to be beaten up only because restrain was a commodity that was hard to come by among these hired men … so it is said
then, it was over heard by some … but of course it was not consummated.
then, the same victim goes down … would we be then guilty just based on the words of a attentive, nosy listener? Or, for even just air out our frustrations?
And just who is this Don Don? How can we have so many confessed accomplishes/witnesses and no confessed killer.
PriscillaLu1234 says
Either the old man is a complete and total douchebag, or he is being kept incommunicado by interested parties.
eye says
Both I’d say …
How about we smoke him out … and say he did it … he is the mastermind …
PriscillaLu1234 says
What if he is being kept incommunicado by this other children from the other woman? That wouldn’t be the first time in family history that this has been done. In recent times, a wealthy couple was separated by the children, those who took the father who was ill, made him sign all the inheritance to them. It made a lot of headlines.
eye says
You are so very right … that indeed was one for the books.
But, in the brief flitting moments of the old man’s sanity, when the thought of his so called favorite son’s murder comes to mind, wouldn’t he want to know what has become of it? Doesn’t he even check on the younger children, their safety and welfare … or is it just all about him?
The tragedy of showbiz mixed with politics …
jerry says
the Police should continue their investigation, I have a strong feeling that that the real killer is in the senate….
raissa says
Ahh. Let’s wait.
eye says
wouldn’t that be the kicker …
PriscillaLu1234 says
Or maybe someone that somebody in the senate is trying to protect.
eye says
Another potential political candidate who needs to bump off Ramgen …
aka says
I so agree with you! It’s been my suspicion since the start of this saga.
RAS says
We can just all speculate. None of us were there when this happened. None of us also know for a fact if the situation the family has undergone resulted into this dysfunctional family some of us has concocted. Parents may play a vital role in a child’s character but even Satan was brought up in the holiest of places. Yet made a dumb choice.. But nice article and nice reactions..
PriscillaLu1234 says
This is too weird. Are you comparing a human family to a fallen angel who was never even human nor was raised in a human family?
