First Side :
The bathroom where the crime occured was cleaned as well as the vehicle used for carrying Mrs. Trinidad to the hospital. Instinct-wise, usually household helpers will clean any traces of dirt that they might encounter inside the house since that is their job. They will definitely clean it either it was in the vehicle or inside the house or even when the children gets dirty. Its their primary job that comes to their mind at once. Well, negligence of the law is againts the law as the law excuses no one that is why these poor people have been arrested. The family of Mr.Failon gave their full support behind him. His daughter believed that he is innocent. The daughter might have known the real story although she refused to elaborate it. She believe that her mother really killed herself on the grounds of financial problem.It was even reported that the daughter of Ted , who just came from Cebu, went to visit her father first before even going to the hospital for her mother. Mr. Failon was quoted as saying that he told his wife to forget about the problem since its just money and he can easily earn it. He even said that they came from nothing so Mrs.Trinidad should not be thinking of it too much. There are things that Mr. Failon doesn’t want to elaborate because it might have been a family matter. With this support from the family, its very hard to say that Mr. Failon killed his wife. I remember the movie ” The Fugitive” where Harrison Ford was wrongfully accused of murdering his beloved wife. He was already grieving for the death of his wife and yet the authorities are after him, accusing him of murdering her. A little comparison on this side of the case
Second side:
On another side, investigators are saying that the cleaning of the crime scene might be instructed by Mr. Failon to his maids to mislead the authorities. The supposedly suicide note is also being termed as just a “Sorry Note” and not actually a suicide note since its content are very far from it and also it was written the night before. The continuous usage of the word “opo” and “po” in the letter is being regarded as someone’s writing. The trajectory of the bullet is also being doubted by some experts as not self inflicted. Even the supposedly reporting of Ted about the tragedy to authorities after it happend is being viewed by the police as a violation.
The Bottom line:
The bottom line here is that it should be handle with intense care by the authorities. They should follow the criminal procedure throughly since this is a very sensitive case. The Failon Family is in the state of mourning right now, authorities should give considerations and room for them to grieve. On the other hand, some lapses on the side of Mr. Failon like reporting the incident immediately may have been the result of panic or maybe he was too bothered for a scandal since his reputation is on the line. He even asked the hospital staffs to keep everything private without the media and authorities. He might be thinking that his wife will be ok and it wont be a big issue. But the Biggest losers here are our Criminal System and Mrs. Trinidad. We have seen how funny our authorities handled the case. They issue warrants and arrests left and right based on assumptions and “trial and error” system. It seems they are all riding on the popularity of the issue and even politicians are it again. We know Ted bumped on someother’s butt while being acommentator. He openly criticize the Q.C Police on several controversial issues and i hope this not a “payback time” thing of our police force toward Ted Falion. Mrs.Trinidad is another loser here because if she really commited suicide..its a big sin infront of our Creator. Even the Church would not bless her burial ( has the church changed its centuries-old policy ?). And if indeed she was proven to be murdered, its sad that she lost her life only because of a materalistic thing—-Money.
Let us be careful and avoid drastic conclusions and blames..its a family issue and a national issue as well. We dont want to see an innocent man ended up in jail, his reputation and life shattered. Still we dont want to see a criminal at large, acting like nothing happened and still runs for a public office either.
