Failon has fallen down!

It is a sad story to tell that Ted failon, a respected newscaster in the Philippines has gotten himself into deep trouble. Accused of killing his wife!

It is normal for every couple to have arguments and problems. This is of course part of building up a family. Marriage will always have to be in the works all the time; and it cannot be accomplished at all, as marriage counselors would often say, until marriage is over, when the cuople dead.

Ted Failon lately had the worst scene in his life. Accordingly he argued with his wife allegedly with regard to financial concerns and ended up bringing his wife to the hospital because of a gun shot wound. He was obviously grieving because his wife was in serious condition. His wife died by the way as of this writing.

What was troubling however was that these people in the government rushed into accusations that Ted was answerable for the death of his wife. They alleged that he cleaned up the mess, the blood that stained the bathroom, the car that was stained with blood and everything that would somehow help in the investigation. If it was a suicide, would it be just normal for you to clean up the mess since a mess should have to be cleaned up after all, specially if it was blood?

They proceeded in investigating Failon with gun powder burns which he was found to have none and finally found a case to indict him with obstruction of justice. When government officials talked to the media, it was as if Failon was already guilty. Would you expect to see scene of the crime investigators to come to your house and investigate an incident that would involve your wife to be committing suicide? I wouldn't if that was me...I would rather rush to the hospital as what Ted did.

I do not write this blog in defense of Failon.  I am writing this because of my disgust with what is happening to my government. As I was looking into some news articles prior to this incident, I found out that Ted was included by the opposition as a prospective senatorial candidate in 2010 election under the opposition. Dont you think that the reason why they were so aggressive in finding faults on the person because he was a threat to the administration?

What is ironinc too is when the government starts to investigate cases involving individuals who may have important contributions to the image of the present adminstation, whether positive or negative, they are deaf and blind in the scandals involving high ranking governemnt officials but spcially meticulous to individuals associated with the opposition.
