Son of Actor-Politician Cesar Montano Committed Suicide

The son of actor-politician Cesar MOntano allegedly committed suicide according to news reports. Christian Angelo Manhilot, Cesar's son with his first wife, shot himself in the head with a .45 pistol inside their home along Yakal Street, Tivoli Royale subdivision in Barangay Batasan Hills around 6 a.m..

There are still no clear motive why his son committed suicide. The actor-turned politician is currently busy campaigning in Bohol, his hometown, because he is running as governor. Cesar Montano is running under the Liberal Party in the May 10 elections. He lost in the 2007 senatorial polls.

Dr. Ed Antonio of the General Malvar Hospital in Quezon City said the victim sustained a gunshot wound in the right temple, and an exit wound at the back of the head and was declared dead on arrival.

Ted Failon on Wife's Death

The recent news that hit the newspapers and and TV networks is the detah of TEd Failon's wife. There are conflicting reports as to the true story on the incident. Is it a suicide, as claimed by the members of the family including Ted or there is a foul play?

With so many government agencies trying to involve themselves in this high profile case, the story just becomes more cloudy and confusing. Is it about the finacial problem that Tina claimed or can it be due to to other problems in the relationship between Ted Failon and his wife.

There was some reports that a day before the alleged suicide, Ted and his wife made some disagreements. Ted also presented to the media the suicide note from his wife. It said that she can't take it anymore and she's afraid to tell her husband about the problem which up to now, the media and other people close to the family are still wondering what particular problem Tina is talking about. Some says its about financial problem.

The gun used by his wife is a licensed gun owned by Ted. He was tested negative for paraffin. Othe people were also invited by the police to shed light to the incident.

But the main issue now is the accusation of the police that TEd Failon and other members of the family is obstructing justice. He was already pout in the watchlist of the pnp.

This case is being sensationalized by the police. Is it a revenge to the anchor man for his tirade agaisnt the fellow police officers who were involved in the shoot out in quezon city? These police officers who are trying to arrest members of the family and including Ted Failon are comrades of those police officers involved in the shoot out.

It seems that they can't understand the situation of Failon's family.

Anyway lets just wait for further developments on this case. The DOJ is now on the picture, the NBI, the Commission on Human Rights, the public attorney's office and expect for more agencies who want to be in the limelight.... soon expect the congress to conduct their investigation on this matter....
