Just came home from a late-night gathering to read the news that Ted Failon’s wife, Trinidad Arteche Etong, died at 8:25 p.m. last night. If indeed she committed suicide, I had hoped she’d recover ( like a relative of ours who did the same thing and recovered). That would have shed light on this issue which is turning like a circus by the day.
The police treatment of the family and members of the household is quite unnerving. I agree with the viewpoints of some that the family, including the maids, should at least be given time to reflect, compose themselves and most of all GRIEVE. They can be held accountable at the proper time. Failon has so far tested negative of gunpowder and their daughter has spoken that the financial problems of her mother was behind it all. Politics should be left in another forum and not in this hour of need.
At about the same time that the “shooting” of Failon’s wife hit the news, so was Korina Sanchez’s engagement to Sen. Mar Roxas announced also yesterday. I did check the Senator’s Facebook account but there’s nothing about it yet. News has it that Korina has met the Roxas-Araneta relatives and a formal announcement about their wedding “sometime in 2010″ is expected soon.
So yes, two different sides of the news from the popular morning talk show Tambalang Failon at Sanchez. One good and one bad 
And both personalities are being touted for the 2010 presidential elections – him as a possible senatorial contender and her as her man’s chief drumbeater.
What will happen to the Failon/Sanchez partnership now? I can’t even hazard a guess.
haaaayy kawawa naman ung wife ni ted failon walang
kakampi she’s so helpless kse everyone in the family
including her own siblings ay kampi kay ted failon.
pati ang giant broadcasting company that he works for
biased kung mag report. pati dzmm pati new era din
they’re all protecting SOMEONE HERE (obviously not
trina). pam, trina’s sister claims she was witness to
the writing of the suicide note! ano un parang “oy
i’ll write this letter ha be my witness” IMO its not
EVEN a suicide note its just an apology letter na may
halong takot sa asawa niya i wonder why she seems so
terrified of him! tapos ang new era only called pnp
hourssss after the incident. ted went back home to
see his daughter daw??? diba instinct mo is to stay
by her side until she’s stable? maiisip mo pa bang
umuwi nun??? ONE NEED NOT BE A CSI GUY TO FIGURE THIS
ALL OUT DUH

Hindi ako naaawa sa wife ni Ted kasi inubos niya ang savings ni Ted na pinaghirapan nito ng husto. Grabe ang ginawa niya ha, siguro nanlalake siya.
