Hey folks, I'm sure we've heard of what happened to Ted Failon's wife and the authorities are still investigating the case.

Since they do not have all the evidences yet, in your personal opinion, do you think Ted Failon is guilty of murder and/or conspiracy against his wife?

(Please note that this is only an opinion and have to keep in mind we all have our own biases and whatnot)

i honestly believe he is innocent and that the QCPD is just on to him because he used to lambast them especially on the recent 'rub out'. Ted doesnt have a clear motive to commit murder, but surely the QCPD does have motives against Ted, they even came up with rumors that Ted have scratches on his back and arms, and wtf is it with the 'manhunt' tag, like Ted is an escape felon ...

I knew it will just be a matter of time before a thread is made just like this :D


I havent heard whats the latest as of today (according to some there was tremendous coverage by abs cbn on this, eating up the entire contents of some news programs) but im inclined to believe he is innocent mostly because he proved negative against the paraffin test which is one very key evidence. 2nd i think is the way it happened had he intended to kill her, he wouldnt have probably do it that way, i believe he'd be too smart for that. 3rd i think the relatives already corroborated the apparent mental stability of his wife which could have led to that unfortunate incident.

whats gonna be focused here are the police who seems to be bungling the investigation and have alledgedly committed human rights violations even if they know this is widely covered by media.

I think teh dude is guilty of conspiracy.

He has been a news reporter for a long time now, he should know what to do and what not to do in a crime scene... I dont know why they cleaned up teh crime scene before reporting it to teh cops.

Innocent. His sister in law said that the wife was already contemplating on suicide a long time ago.

hmmm... they must be in on teh conspiracy then. :D

Bro, Ted's late wife (R.I.P.) was also negative against the paraffin test.

Those paraffin tests really dont mean much. Im sure Ted wasn't teh one who pulled teh trigger. Im not sure but i think he was at work when her wife was shot, perfect alibi.
The treatment that failon's wife recieved from teh hospital could have caused teh test to come negative.

The guy is innocent as the dead wife's relatives are insistent about it! One lawyer relative was even offering his legal services to Ted Failon.

Simple common sense!

i think he's innocent din...

pero di conclusive yung paraffin test, dapat nga di na lang nila pinerform yun kasi nakakagulo lng ng mindset ng mga people involve in the investigation...

nitrate yung chemical na tinetest dito, and basically it can be found everywhere in the house...and more importantly, it can be washed by simple soap & water..so it's really not conclusive...

How can it be a perfect when we don't know WHEN his wife was shot,
let alone where?

I do know that it's VERY heard to remove all sanguinary evidence
from the scene of a gunshot suicide, and SOCO found none, which
casts doubt on testimony that she shot herself in that bathroom.
Same applies to the rather clean vehicle allegedly used to transport
the wounded woman.

A .380 ACP FMJ (Walther PPK "daw" and suicide weapon) is unlikely
to penetrate two cranial walls, unless the victim was particularly
thin-skulled. 9mm Parabellum pa siguro, and the entry wound of a
9mm is quite similar to a .380 --same diameter bullet.

Supposedly the bullet entry wound doesn't coincide with the
vitim's handedness.

The LEO's are out to get even with Ted Failon Etong alright, and the
officers they sent to arrest members of the Etong household were
brutes, but that doesn't rule out the surviving Etongs are lying
about a supposed suicide.

ako tol hindi ko alam at nababasabasa ko lang sa internet....

para sakin innocent until proven otherwise...

i dont care.

Ted is innocent!

i dont care.
you should care!!! you are a soon to be lawyer, what if humawak ka ng same na kaso?

Innocent. His sister in law said that the wife was already contemplating on suicide a long time ago.
what if the sister-in-law has an affair with TED? she will definitely defend TED :D

just playing with the situation hehehe

Thats a possibility...police getting back on TED.

"SOME" gun owners, shooting is immediate reaction on a heated argument specially if you're furiously mad. so i dont think motive is really needed.

But we really dont know what happend between the 2 of them so its hard to comment about guilty or not topic

i think he's innocent din...

Good note slim

parafin test are inconclusive kasi nga madaling hugasan ang gun powder burns and definitely TED knows it.

kung yung negative result ni ted ang magiging basis dapat i consider na din na bakit nag negative yung wife.

Im not saying guilty si ted ha... lets leave it to the expert na lang like forensic expert Fortun na may simple theories about shooting from close range and shooting with the gun barrel pressed against the head

busy ako e. ahahaha
busy?!!! ahhhhhhh


oo nga pala sabi nga pala ni utol busy ka kalalakad ng nakaluhod sa quiapo, mejo nagdedelikado daw ata grades mo eh hehehehehe

busy ako e. ahahaha
lol :lol1:

Thats a FACT!!! if they think guilty ti Mr. Ted Failon then they(the police) have to prove them. but till then, innocent nga siya, Good point JOMS

thanks tol ...

i think hes innocent pero on the other side of my mind hindi sya guilty kaya ewan ko LOL

I think Failon is guilty of obstruction, at least. The cops should be allowed to do their jobs. I don't think we'll ever know what happened because ABS CBN and all of Failon's politician buddies helped him shut down the investigation after he contaminated the crime scene. If you come home and find your wife's near lifeless body with an apparent gunshot wound, the first thing you do is call the police for help. What kind of person cleans up first? If people are uncoooperative, they should be charged accordingly.

I feel sorry for the cops here. They should be allowed to do their jobs. But for various reason, often justifiable, they're looked down upon. I'm sure the rich and wealthy like Failon and the clan his wife come from don't feel the need to answer the questions of those who come from lower classes like most cops do. Maybe if they spoke in perfect Assumption or Atenean accented english, they'd be respected more.

I like to think that ted is innocent but there are some questions that could have been answered immediately had the maids not clean the crime scene. The alibi that they don't want the 12 year old daughter to see the crime scene maybe valid but then again it maybe not.
