JANELLE MANAHAN PINS DOWN RAMONA, GAIL & RJ IN RAMGEN'S MURDER CASE

MANILA, Philippines – Lawyers for Janelle Manahan, the girlfriend of slain actor Ram Revilla (Ramgen Bautista in real life), submitted their client’s reply affidavit before the Parañaque City Prosecutor’s Office on Friday.

According to Manahan’s lawyers, Ram’s was a strict disciplinarian who had incidents of physical and verbal clashes with his siblings. They said these could be possible motives for the murder.

"Ramgen is a strict disciplinarian who at some point during several confrontations with some of the brothers and sisters had hit, sinaktan, tinutukan, sinakal ang mga kapatid, which would establish motive for the siblings to have conspired to kill him,” said Atty. Restituto Mendoza. Ram was killed inside their home in BF Homes, Parañaque last October 28.

In her affidavit, Manahan said that in her 5-year relationship with Ram, she witnessed several incidents of violence in the Bautista household. Ram is the oldest of 9 children of former Senator Ramon Revilla Sr. with Genelyn Magsaysay.

Physical abuse

Manahan, in her affidavit, recalled that Ram once hit her sister Ramona “Mara” Bautista, one of the suspects in the murder, with a Glock 9mm handgun.

There was also an incident involving Ram and Ramona’s Turkish husband, which led to a rift between Ramona and Ram. “After Ramona got married to his Turkish boyfriend, Ram also had a tiff with her husband,” Manahan stated.

Ram’s other sister Ragelyn “Gail” Bautista, who was also tagged by suspects as one of the masterminds, was described in Manahan’s statement as a “black sheep” and was always at odds with Ram. Gail was once choked by Ram during a heated argument, according to Manahan.

Argument over budget

The 18-year-old Ramon Joseph or “RJ”, who is currently detained at the Parañaque City Jail, was described as a “timid soft spoken brother” who was submissive to his oldest brother.

However, Manahan said in her statement that Ram and RJ also had arguments involving expensive purchases that would strain the family’s budget. Several text messages were earlier recovered by police, showing that the siblings argued over the allowance from their father. Ram had also punched RJ once, said Manahan.

The night of Ram's murder

In her affidavit, Manahan reiterated that she did not see the lone gunman’s face because it was covered with a Halloween mask. She said the gunman shot her using a pistol with a silencer.

Manahan said she instructed Ramona to call for help because they could not find Ram’s car keys. Ramona tried contacting RJ first but he was not answering. Manahan then told Ramona to call Gail, who lived nearby.

Manahan, who was struggling to stay conscious, said she “did not notice any panic or worry” in Gail's voice during her phone conversation with Ramona. Ramona told her that Gail was on the way and left the room. However, Gail never arrived, prompting Manahan to send a text message to her mother and some friends to ask for help. When she was brought to the hospital, Manahan said she saw Gail, Gail’s husband Hiro, Ram’s sister Ragene and Ragene’s friend.

Manahan noted that only Ragene’s friend was “grieving while the rest did not.” Ramona was allegedly missing at that time. RJ also arrived at the hospital and he “did not appear to be grieving,” according to Manahan.

Manahan failed to submit her affidavit personally because she was not feeling well. She will undergo a preliminary investigation on December 13. She was discharged from the hospital on Tuesday, after she received treatment for gunshot wounds to the face.

Ramona tags Ram's assistant

Meanwhile, the lawyer for Ramona, a suspect in the murder of her brother and frustrated murder of Manahan, also submitted Ramona’s sworn statement before the Parañaque City Prosecutor’s Office on Friday. In her statement, Ramona denied allegations that she was involved in her brother’s murder.

Ramona tagged Ram’s personal assistant Ronald Ancajas as the only person she knows capable of committing the crime. Ramona also revealed that an unidentified person called up RJ and informed him that Janelle had already been brought to the hospital. The original copy of Ramona’s counter-affidavit was submitted to Assistant City Prosecutor Leah Roma a week after Ramona’s camp submitted a photocopy of the statement.

Ramona’s counsel Atty. Jeffrey Hepte was accompanied by Ramona’s mother Genelyn Magsaysay and 4 other siblings. Ramona attested to the statement before Philippine consul Leilani Feliciano in Ankara, Turkey last November 16. Ramona left the Philippines last November 4, after she was named a suspect in the crime.

MO TWISTER VIDEO ON RHIAN RAMOS' ABORTION?

Mo Twister and Rhian Ramos chose fame & money over life?  If that is true that's really sad.

We don't know them personally and we don't know what the real score is between the two of them. And maybe they'll say that we don't have any right to judge them. 

Though all of this brouhaha started when Mo Twister allegedly tweeted scandalous details about a former girl friend allegedly referring to Rhian Ramos.

You're in Singapore, You've been crying all evening because tomorrow morning, You and Rhian will go to the hospital here and get rid our baby. It doesn't matter naman what I think about it because this was her choiice. I don't know how long you'll keep this as a souvenir, but this is the test (Whisper) This is wrong. This is the hardest thing (Crying) This is the hardest thing you've gone through before and you've gone through so much. And we have to blame our jobs for this"

"This industry that judges you for these things. This business has made her believe that we have to take the life of our own child because no one will forgive her for this. That this job will ruin her, so we agreed that we'd come here and get it done. Because you love her and you just want her to be okay. Its not like Rhian is having an easy time with this too. Its hard on all of us. She said one day we will see this again. And maybe our jobs will be a little bit easier and more accepting about it. One day you'll look at this video, 20 years from now, I don't even know if you will still be together and it will still hurt. It will still hurt like hell. (Crying) You'll be sorry for this your whole life. I'll be sorry for this my whole life. I'm sorry for the bad choice we are about to make. Its hard for both of us"

Her station, her channel, her manager is so tough on her that it has made her feel that having this baby, is just no other option. I know Rhian is young. Maybe one day when we're older, when she is older, that we won't have to go through this. I don't blame her. The pressure on her is so great. That I know she feels like she has no choice. So this is not your fault Rhian. Its not. I know how hard it is to be you in here, In this situation."

GMA ASSASINATION PLOT CODE: PUT THE LITTLE GIRL TO SLEEP?

MANILA, Philippines – Elena Bautista-Horn, a spokesperson for Pampanga Rep. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, revealed on Wednesday a possible threat on the life of the former President. According to Horn, a source from a certain government agency talked to them a few days ago and told them about a so-called operation "Put the Little Girl to Sleep," being cooked allegedly by the Aquino administration.

“May mga nagsumbong na naman po sa amin na nasa administrasyon ngayon na may mga masamang balakin. Mayroon sila ngayong operation called ‘Put The Little Girl To Sleep.’ Ni-report na po sa amin ‘yan kaya kami ay nababahala kasi nakikita naman natin kung gaano ang insistence ni [Justice] Secretary [Leila] de Lima at [Comelec] Chairman [Sixto] Brillantes na ang dating Pangulo ay iligay sa government hospital,” said Horn.

According to their source, Mrs. Arroyo should be careful in the food being served and the medications being administered to her. Horn stated they consider the source as highly reliable that they decided to share the information to the media. She also said

Alam rin po natin na lumabas sa column ni Mon Tulfo na sinabi daw po ni Secretary Butch Abad na kung pababa-biyahihen si Mrs. Arroyo eh mabuti na daw na barilin siya sa tarmac. So napagtatagpi-tagpi namin ang storya na talagang parang may agenda na hindi maganda para sa dating pangulo,” she said.

They are unsure though if they should ask for added security from the Philippine National Police (PNP). Arroyo lawyers are also discussing if they should raise the matter on Thursday at the Pasay Regional Trial Court (RTC) hearing.

The Pasay RTC Branch 112 will hear on Thursday the motion requesting hospital arrest for Mrs. Arroyo, who was charged and arrested last November 18 for electoral sabotage of the 2007 elections.

Contractual Worker to get benefits, 13th month pay etc.

New Rule on Contractual Employment
Samuel P. Medenilla | Tempo, December 1, 2011

MANILA, Philippines – Amid the proliferation of companies outsourcing their services to contractors, the Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) issued a new department order (DO), which will professionalize contractual workers.

Labor and Employment Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said during a media forum Tuesday at DoLE’s head office in Manila at least 200,000 contractual workers from 2,624 contractors, subcontractors, and cooperatives will benefit from the new provision of Department Order No. 18-A, Series of 2011.

This will address the clamor of the labor sector to clarify government policy on contractual employment so that they could be assured this will not be used to circumvent the compliance of employers to labor standards - Sec. Rosalinda Baldoz said.

Under the DO No. 18-A, contractors, subcontractors and cooperatives are required to provide their workers with benefits similar to their regular counterparts. “The new D.O. will promote employment and encourage full compliance with minimum wages and general labor standards, including safe and healthful conditions of work, security of tenure, and self-organization and collective bargaining agreement,“ Baldoz said. It will also entitle them to social security benefits, which includes membership to SSS, Philhealth, and Pag-ibig.

The new order will also impose stricter requirements for contractors, subcontractors, and cooperatives to ensure only qualified companies will be able to operate. These include a P3 million paid capital to operate, possession of necessary tools and work prem ises to deliver their service, an employer-employee relationship with their workers, a PR25,000 registration fees, and the inclusion of a mandatory 10 percent administrative fee in their service contracts.

It will also require contractors, sub-contractors, and cooperatives to honor the full extent of the service contract with a company, which will prevent them from cutting the services of their workers in short periods per year. “These new provisions aim to weed out fly-by-night contractors and subcontractors. It will also end short term employment schemes like endo (end of contract) or 5-5-5 (five-month, fivemonth duration),“ Baldoz said.

She said the D.O. will become effective on Dec. 5, which is 15 days after it has been published in a national newspaper last Nov. 19. Companies, which will not be able to comply with these requirements, will have its licenses cancelled.
