While I’m writing this, the lovely wife of ABS-CBN Channel 2 news anchor Ted Failon is in serious condition at the New Era University General Hospital. The hospital is just meters away from their conjugal home in Tierra Pura, Tandang Sora avenue, Quezon City (though as of latest, ABS-CBN 2 told non-channel 2 reporters that she’s not there. Yet, it is positive that the wife of Ted is really inside the ICU of the hospital)
Bong Osorio, ABS-CBN head for Corporate Communications called for understanding and avoid speculations as to the cause of the incident. Some malicious tongues say that Ted’s wife allegedly committed suicide, which is, to say the least, a very malicious insinuation.
Ted is still distraught as to what happened to his young wife, which I believe, is a few years younger than Ted. His wife has been with him since he first started his career as a young broadcaster over at ABS-CBN 2. I was fortunate to meet her with Ted when I was doing my OJT over at DZMM Channel 2.
Right now, the wife of Ted Failon is clinically dead, according to sources in the hospital. She reportedly sustained a gunshot wound in the temple. Sketchy reports say she shot herself early afternoon.
My dear readers, let’s pray for her safe recovery. Let’s refrain from all speculations. Let’s respect the privacy of Mr. Ted Failon especially in this time when their family is undergoing a very serious situation.
Popularity: 3% [?]
the incident happened in the morning and the police was only able to know about it at around 4 pm. Failon was quoted as saying “no media, no police, please”.
Ay, Senator(iable) Failon….

It’s the FBI-Academy-Trained-PMA Superentendent should be asking these questions. Now, it seems, we are the one asking questions ..
hindi sila mahiya?
WHO’D WANT TO RUN PHILIPPINES AWASH WITH LOW-IQ GUNG-GONG 3RDWORLD UNDEVELOPED BRAINS …..
HA!HA!HA!HA!
Article is so damn contradictory. Drowning in contradictions, I must say.
Saying that the lady is CLINICALLY DEAD yet asking for readers to stay away from speculating. I dont know if this helps the case, Mr. Mangubat. And then in your recent post in your blog site, you are comparing the case to OJ Simpson's while there is no statement coming from the police because they are still doing their investigations.
And yet, you are calling not to insinuate and add malice to the case. What a piece of crappy writing.
Nung kinumpara mo sa case ni OJ Simpson etong case ni Ted Failon, parang sinabi mo na din na siya ang pumatay sa asawa nya. I thought you are reminding everybody not to add malice, not to insinuate etc. While in fact, you are the one starting it.
I dont know if you are paying respects to the family because of the sensitivity of this case. And I dont know if you have the BRAINS not to blog this first and pangunahan ang pulisya – because of the sensitivity of this case. Talo pa sa pambalot ng tinapa ang article na ito.
Question to Mr. Mangubat:
What if you are in the position of the family and have read this post, saying their mom is CLINICALLY DEAD while you know all along na your mom is fighting for her life? Parang pinatay mo na din ang asawa ni Ted Failon eh. Patayin ba sa article? DUH.
What the fakking fak! SENSITIVITY? What Sensitivity? Sensitivity if crime against fellow pekeng-peryodistas but no sensitivity if it was a basurero from payatas!!!!
GADEMN YOU, PATRICIO!!! GADEMN YOU!!!!
It’s no wonder i jump with glee and joy whenever there’s a peryodista shot and killed!!!!! ONE LESS IDIOT!!!!!
Renato,
Take a coffee break. Your blood pressure is up to the roof. :P
If idiot NBI and FBI-Academy-trained-PMA Superentendent cannot find any traces of blood in the bathroom, maybe it was cleaned by BIOHAZARD SPECIALIST in Washington DC-spook parlance called “cleaners”.
So the maids work as BIOHAZARD SPECIALIST?
HA!HA!HA!HA!
HOW GUNG-GONG TALAGA SA MGA PILIFINOS
WHO’D WANT TO RUN THE PHILIPPINES MUST BE STUPID!!!!
Seriously, with due respect to the Failon family, I'd better NOT TO BLOG ABOUT THIS, Mr. Mangubat.
Hindi ka nakakatulong sa kaso. Nagpapaumpisa ka ng tsimis and useless speculation.
ay naku kitam naman napaka simpleng B-R-E-A-K-I-N-G BONES este NEWS ang sinulat syempre kelangan nyang lagyan ng malisya para humaba, o e diba humaba nga naman ang issue? masama nga lang ang naging resulta.
Hahaha…
Spot on.
but silver, i don't get your complaint:
why is it wrong to tell people about an event and subsequently editorialize that we ought not to speculate wildly?
in real life, don't we do this: we tell people about what happens, but tell them to keep comments civil?
so what does this "suggestion" tell us what we ought not to do: i.e. do not launch into conspiracy theories about who killed who, etc…
what does this suggestion tell us what we could do: makiramay, etc?
isn't this the OBVIOUS reading?
second, initial reports may be wrong with specific details. the idea is to tell people about corrections regarding facts. thats always a good idea, and it helps us get a more accurate picture of what happened.
so, some people have been correcting pat's facts. thanks for that.
Here is a surprise — take a break, check this one out.

I love that Benign0. I’m lovin’ him. Please, if anyone missed Benign0 post in this thread, go back and read him. THE PEKENG-PERYODISTAS ARE CONFUSING US OF THE FACTS …
What Benign0 missed was how stupid the FBI-Academy-trained-PMA superentindent of compromising invistigation by talking to the press of the detail when the invistigation is not wrapped up yet …
HA!HA!HA!HA! WE’RE FRIGGIN’ DOOOMED!!!!
NOW WHO’D WANT TO RUN THE PHILIPPINES? HUH? I tell you guys, stop talking about politics until we fix our caustic, corrosive, toxic cultural problem ….
Filipinos are a bunch of stuck-up, degenerate, low-iQ-3rdWorld-Asian-Religious trash ….
I agree with Renato Pacifico on that one.
Not all news are correct and accurate.
Just a couple of hours ago I saw the bathroom squeaky clean. LO and BEHOLD … the gun was still where it was found after it was squeaky cleaned!!!! HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!
Isn’t it if you clean you pick up things after you? Right?
Now, it looks like the gun was not stained with blood. According to this chap, Failon, his wife was bathed in blood so is the gun right? Why was the gun not stained with blood? So it was cleaned, right? If it was cleaned why it was left on the floor of the bathroom?
HEY! YO! Ding-dong-ding-aling-ding-dong Superentendent answer us here in FV. YOU CAN FOOL LOW-IQ-3RDWORLD-ASIAN-TRASH BUT YOU CANNOT FOOL FV!
See? They are so used to fooling people … that their invistigation is so blatantly ignomous that manhid na sila!!!!
HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!
Kawawa na man ang mga katulong ina-aresto pero si Failon wala pa kasi nandon si Tancho-Tech Noli …. HA!HA!HA!HA!
I bet you this will come down to 8th mystery in the world … HA!HA!HA!HA!
See?
WHO’D WANT TO RUN THE PHILIPPINES … Give me a Visa to America. I’d rather go TNT in America than stay in this rotten Philippines!!!!
HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!
I’m trying to reach the Arteche’s sisters to read the postings at FV. She’s the one who can tell Filipinos how fakked up the FBI-academy-trained-PMA Superentendent, the pekeng-peryodistas, Failon and other convoluted circumstances …
Help me, please. She’s our delivery to our bucolic existence from blog to the public …
It looks like Arteche sisters don’t have Friendster account where Flippazzes hang-out to show their pictures of their cars and travel …
Let’s do it folks, MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!
Trinidad has Mean and Pamela Arteche as sisters. Have their children look up this FV blog.
Let’s beat the bushes so the snakes comes out … MOVE! MOVE! MOVE!
I’ve sent tens and tens of e-mails to so-called journalists of 4th estate … let’s see if our speculations comes out in their columns …
This thread, this event should be reflected by those who wanted to run an elected office in the PHilippines …
If you are honest, intelligent you’d be dooomed by the FBI-academy-trained-PMA police, by UP graduates, by Ateneo graduates, by la Salle graduates, by all university graduates in the Philippines who are EXTREMELY LOW-IQ!!!!!
What good is discussing politics if everyone here, in the PHilippines, are soooooo obliviously stupid.
ANSWER ME!
Does anyone know that the maids of Failon are BIOHAZARD SPECIALISTS? Because FBI-Academy-trained-PMA Superentendent couldn’t find any in the bathroom … couldn’t find blood in the gun … couldn’t find any forced entry into the bathroom …
The maids must be special-ops! And our military are special-ooops!
HA!HA!HA!HA!
Who’d want to run the Filipinos for an elected office must be extremely stupid ……
“Who are the police to straightforwardly tell us that the case is one of ‘obstruction of justice’ when the investigation is hardly begun much less the charge filed in court?”
Who else would say that there is an obstruction of justice? The police are the proper authorities here. No one else. Prima-facie, there was an obstruction of justice because the “alleged” crime scene — the bathroom, even the car were cleaned — according to the testimonies of the household help, albeit they say, without any instructions from Ted Failon. The statute in violation is P.D. 1829 according to the police.
The fact of the matter is, insinuations occur precisely when in the first place police authorities are prevented from doing their job (and I mean their proper job). This is not to say that police authorities have not been guilty of violations themselves. But that is another story altogether.
Paraffin tests are not conclusive. Sa Pinas na lang ata ang ginagamit yan.
We should take the coverage of ABS-CBN or even other media outlets with a grain of salt precisely because Failon is one of their own And videos can be and are edited and be taken out of context — that’s why print news is still superior to TV because you can judge the content more or less objectively. Just take note the questioning of Ces Drilon to the sister-in-law — some were very leading questions (as if she was lawyer exonerating a client).
If you are implying that Malacanang palace is the invisible hand at work that wants to do in Failon (now isn’t this an insinuation too?) — sus ginoo, eh obvious din naman na ABS-CBN is trying so hard to shield Failon (well, if he wins as senator, there’s another Lopez oligarch alas for you, just like Noli de Castro and Loren Legarda).
Not saying that I am inclined to believe that Ted Failon did it.
so at that time, she was NOT clinically dead, but brain dead?
Gabby,
Check the timeline. The day this article is posted, the wife is still alive. NOT CLINICALLY OR BRAIN DEAD.
Even the papers (just like Renato said: PEKENG PERYODIKOS) are blurting out brain dead hoolah balahs until the hospital itself issued a release that the wife is actually in a serious condition – 50/50 condition.
If that is your opinion, I wont contend with you anymore. That is just how I see it. Period.
Looks like i'm banned for making sensical statements Hmmmpf
over quota na raw post mo lol
Renato,
Take a coffee break daw. Masyado kang mainit.
Please understand that the wife is suffering from Severe Mental Depression. The Failon family needs your
sympathy and understanding. We should not make a Circus and Carnival out of the Tragedy of others.
Otherwise, we should consult also a good Psychiatrist, if we need a good medical attention also.
Wife is dead. We extend a deep sympathy to the family…
Wife is Dead. We sympathize with the family…
It’s fueling speculations because of the pagarparing of the superentendent. In your side of America, their invisitgators don’t make pagarparing until everything is clenched. Not even before it goes to trail so as not to jeopardize prosecution …
I thought pilifinos are really intelligent. They go to america to study and come back idiots!!!! PILIFINOS CAN BE EDUCATED BUT CANNOT LEARN. WHAT THEY DO IS SCARE US WITH THEIR DIPLOMAS ABROAD!!!!
HA!HA!HA!HA! Pilifinos are factory-defective people!
ARE WE NATURAL-BORN IDIOTS?
