Thanks, Jason Bruce. Most people here still can’t understand what actually happened.

By the way, its Tonyo Cruz, not Tonyo O. Cruz.

“We are already shocked by the incident and we do not wish to be shocked further by cruel and incompetent police actions and by media spectacles that trivialize the loss of a life. Even as the police must spare no effort to ferret out the truth, our law enforcers must also allow the affected family members and the nation to grieve.”

I agree with your final words. Any type of human death deserves somekind of respect and dignity. I just quoted you on my blog.

Thanks Tony!

Sana po tanungin muna ninyo kung ano ang nangyari sa loob
ng ospital.

Ang ipinakita lang po ng ABS CBN ay ang footage sa labas.

Maawa naman po kayong amin mga maliliit ng pulis.

Ang ABS CBN po ay kayang kayang ibahin ang tunay na nangyari..
Kayang kaya po nilang patumbahin and isa tao, kumpanya o kaya isang presidente.

Mag isip isip po kayo.

BUYAWA yan ABS CBN. Ginawa ba naman exclusive ang lamay ni
Trina Etong.

Kawawa si Trina kahit patay na . . . pinagkwakwatahan pa rin.

re ABS-CBNs ‘exclusive coverage’ yan ang tinatawag na exploitation. who knows baka set-up din lang ang pagka-kidnap kay Ces–PR to the max.

i am also appalled by the incompetence of media, as usual, in reporting about this case. A reporter of a rival network, ok, that’s GMA, had pronounced Trina dead from Day One. She was still then fighting for her life at the hospital and this reporter kept on repeating in his report that she was found dead in the bathroom. And the banner of another daily said that police has ruled out suicide the morning after the incident. Who were they quoting? And did you listen to the reporters’ questions during the presscon by the QC police? The police and the media deserve each other on this.

i really can’t understand why our police behaves like this everytime. not an isolated case. i believe they’re far from being professionals with the way they handle things.

Same sentiments here – “…PNP’s cruel way of “inviting” Trina’s relatives for the inquest proceedings. I share their anger…that the officers of the law had to act this way.”
