April 16, 2009 | In: National News
Trinidad Arteche Etong, the wife of ABS-CBN broadcaster Ted Failon, died at the New Era HOspital at 8:50 p.m. Thursday due to bullet wound she sustained in a shooting incident Wednesday morning.
It was Failon himself who broke the news about his wife’s death at a radio program in DZMM.
Failon, Mario Teodoro Failon Etong in real life, said his wife shot herself inside a bathroom in their house in posh Tierra Pura Subdivision. However, he and family members failed to immediately inform authorities about the shooting for at least four hours after the incident, triggering speculations of foul play.
