Melissa Roxas vs. AFP

The Armed Forces of the Philippines is conducting a background investigation on Melissa Roxas who is suspected to be an active NPA fighter plotting a communist movement in the country.  Roxas who is a Filipino-American activist accused the military of abducting and torturing her to confess that she is an active member of the New People’s Army (NPA).  Roxas is known to be Ka Aya, actively part of the NPA operations in Aurora province.

Roxas’ supposed motive in her accusations against the military is to mar PGMA’s governance.  The NPA is out to disrupt the country’s democratic image and the timing is tactical with President Arroyo’s forthcoming visit to the United States as per invitation by US President Barack Obama.

Richard Gutierrez vs. Pardo Family

Richard Gutierrez is being charged with reckless imprudence resulting in homicide in connection with the car accident in Cavite that killed his personal assistant, Nomar Pardo, on May 22, 2009.  Pardo’s widow, Lorayne, filed the criminal complaint before the Office of Provincial Prosecutor in Imus.

Ruffa, Richard’s older sister and host of the Buzz, read his brother’s statement last Sunday.  He maintains that he was not negligent and the incident that happened two months ago was an accident.  He was behind the wheels when the car accident occurred in the wee hours of the morning.  Richard and his bodyguard Jorge Mascora were both wounded during the mishap but Nomar Pardo did not survive the crash.

Richard claims that there have been six vehicular accidents reported in the same area.  The young actor feels that this was an unfair act on the part of Lorayne.  He recalled that during the time of the wake, he made public his desire to finance Pardo’s children’s education that was rejected by the Pardo family.

“I wonder, if anyone else had been driving, would Lorayne have sued?” he added.
