Rochelle Barrameda Balks at Jimenez Family's Request for Reautopsy on Ruby Rose Barrameda

13 July 2009

Rochelle Barrameda, older sister of slain mother of two Ruby Rose Barrameda-Jimenez, is balking at the request of the Jimenez family to have her sister's body exhumed for reautopsy by forensic pathologist Dr. Raquel Fortun.

The request was made by the Jimenez family through their lawyer Atty. Ferdinand Topacio, in today's continuation of the preliminary investigation at the DOJ.  Atty. Topacio raised the possibility that the body buried by the Barrameda family was not that of Ruby Rose.  

Today's hearing was the first time that the Barrameda and Jimenez families faced off since this horrifyingly-brutal case rocked the nation more than a month ago on June 10 when Ruby Rose's body was found inside a cemented drum on a tip by star witness Manuel Montero.

As Told by Jimenez Lawyer, Atty. Mario Aguinaldo to Igan: Marga Ysabel's Reaction When Asked If She Wants to Visit Mom Ruby Rose's Wake — "Ayoko Po!"

16 June 2009

In today's One-on-One with Igan on Unang Hirit, Atty. Mario Aguinaldo, lawyer of the Jimenez family recounts how Marga Ysabel, the older of two daughters of slain Ruby Rose Barrameda-Jimenez reacted when asked if she wants to go the wake of her mom.  

Reference was made in this interview to the intercession made by Gabriela party-list representative Liza Maza who talked with Atty. Aguinaldo to ask the Jimenez family to allow the children to see their mother for one last time.

This is a portion of the interview between Igan Arnold Clavio and Atty. Aguinaldo:

Atty. Aguinaldo: ... Tumawag siya sa 'kin nung Sabado ... nakikiusap. So sabi ko sa kaniya, di kakausapin ko yung pamilya.  Kinausap ko yung pamilya.  Nung Sabado nga, nang gabi, kinausap nung father ulit, nung lolo yung panganay sinabi na ... tinanong kung ayaw niyang pumunta o gusto niyang pumunta, sabi nung bata, 'Ayoko po!  'Eh ba't ba ayaw mo?  Ang sagot nung bata, ''Eh bakit n'yo po ba 'ko pinipilit? Ginugulo n'yong buhay ko.  Eh kung buhay n'yo pong guluhin ko?!'  'yan ang sagot nung bata. Ngayon sabi ko ...

Igan:  Attorney, attorney, maputol ko po kayo.  Ilang taon na po itong panganay?

Atty. Aguinaldo:  Siguro, grade 4 eh. Siguro mga 9 na 'yan.

Igan:  Ah, Ok.

Atty:  Oo.

Atty. Aguinaldo:  Ngayon, nireport ko kay kwan 'yan, sinabi ko kay Congresswoman na talaga namang tumutulong na makapunta rin yung mga bata, ano. Ngayon, sabi ko kay Congresswoman, eh di baka po sabihin n'yo na akong ... sa 'kin nanggaling, biased ako, mabuti po pakausap natin sa guidance counselor o kaya na mismo kumausap. Ang napagkaisahan namin, pakakausap namin sa guidance counsellor ng La Salle, De La Salle Zobel. So kahapon, nagpunta ko sa Dela Salle Zobel, kinausap ko yung Principal na nagkataon naman yung principal just promoted to be a Principal for less than a year or about one year.  Nasubaybayan niya 'tong bata kaya may trust and confidence sa kaniya yung bata. So kahapon kinausap nung Principal at nung guidance counsellor ng De la Salle Zobel yung bata. Tinanong siya kung gusto niyang pumunta, ang sabi niya, 'Ayoko po.'

Igan:  Ah ...

Atty. Aguinaldo:  Yung ang sabi.  Nirelay ko rin kay ano 'yun kay Congresswoman Maza.

Igan:  So talagang hindi na ho makikita nitong panganay?

 

Atty. Aguinaldo: Ayaw niya, eh. Ayaw nung bata. Ayaw nung bata. Hindi ko lang masabi ngayon sa himpapawid kung bakit ayaw nung bata.  Palagay ko malalim ang ano.  Ayokong magsalita kung bakit.

Igan:  May kaugnayan pa rin sa mga naunang kaso, Attorney?

Atty. Aguinaldo: Maaari pero ayoko ngang magsalita dahil I want to respect the dead.

Ruby Rose Barrameda, Rochelle Barrameda's Sister Found Inside a Concrete-Filled Steel Drum — Justice for Ruby Rose!

11 June 2009

The younger sister of former beauty queen Rochelle Barrameda, Ruby Rose Barrameda-Jimenez, has been found dead in Navotas after two years of searching.  

In a gruesome turn of events, Ruby Rose's body was found inside a concrete-filled steel drum that was dumped in Manila Bay.

Rochelle Barrameda said that her Ruby Rose was identified by her brother from the clothes the victim in the drum was wearing.   Ruby Rose was first reported missing on March 14, 2007. The Barrameda family  suspects that Ruby Rose's husband had something to do with the incident.  

Here are reports filed by Steve Dailisan of Saksi, Oscar Oida and a one-on-one between Rochelle Barrameda and Igan Arnold Clavio of Unang Hirit courtesy of GMANews.tv:

Igan Arnold Clavio's one-on-one interview with Rochelle Barrameda is nothing short of wrenching.  She described Ruby Rose's body as handcuffed, strangled, covered with plastic over her head.  "Gruesome" is a word that falls way short of what happened to poor Ruby Rose Barrameda.

We expect our nation, the PNP and our investigative agencies and our Senators to spend some time away from the Hayden Kho sex video scandal and into searching for the killer or killers and towards giving justice to Ruby Rose Barrameda-Jimenez and her family.
