Pending any formal investigation, actor Nonie Buencamino has concluded that his daughter, 15-year-old actress Julia Louise Buencamino, committed suicide inside their house in Quezon City Tuesday night.

Buencamino, 49, has “executed a written waiver manifesting not to pursue the investigation as they fully believed that their daughter committed suicide,” said Police Officer 2 Virgilio Mendoza of the Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit of the Quezon City Police District.

Julia Louise, the youngest of Buencamino’s four children with actress Shamaine Buencamino, was found hanging from the ceiling of her bedroom’s bathroom at about 8:20 p.m., Tuesday, according to a report of case investigator Victorio Guerrero.

Probers said the girl was found by their household help Elsa Orsales. A “nylon rope was looped around her neck,” they noted.

Orsales reportedly sought help of the victim’s brother, Gregorio Martin, 22, who rushed Julia from their house in Corinthian Gardens to the Cardinal Santos Medical Center in San Juan City, where she was declared dead on arrival at 8:46 p.m.

Police said that while Buencamino and his family “fully believed” that his daughter killed herself, they had yet to establish that her death as a suicide.

Julia was part of ABS-CBN’s daytime series “O My G!

Amid the report of Julia’s death, a private foundation concerned about the effects of depression on people is offering help, especially to those having suicidal tendencies.

Established in 2007, the Natasha Goulbourn Foundation (NGF) said its counselors were ready to listen to those battling depression or feeling suicidal.

My Desires Just Got Interrupted

Appeal is a factor that determines the staying power of celebrities in showbusiness. While talent is a must, generating attraction is important in gaining fans and admirers. When Irresistible Looker (IL) entered the business, he had both appeal and talent. IL was lucky enough to have been given a break by his network early in his career, and he was being groomed as the next serious actor of his generation. However, things did not go well as planned, and IL had to postpone his dream for some time. Again, luck was with him as he was able to regain his footing and his appeal to fans was stronger than when he started.

With renewed attitude in his career, IL started to look into other activities that can keep him busy and fit. A common interest among showbiz personalities nowadays is getting into sports, such as boxing, wrestling, and martial arts, among others. As IL is determined to keep in shape, he started hitting the gym and sweating it out in his favorite sport.

Naturally, media shows are interested in the passion of IL, and thus, one program sent Busy Network Personality (BN) to make a feature on IL. BN was tasked to cover IL and being interested herself, she asked IL to teach her some moves. After a few rounds, both were sweating, and sweat marks formed around certain body parts of IL. The sight of IL all sweaty proved to be too much for BN. Thus, after getting enough footage, BN instructed the team to go back to the station so they can edit the video.

Left alone with IL, BN asked for more tutorials. IL obliged, but he said that he had to prepare for his appointment in a few minutes. After a few more lessons with BN, IL grabbed a towel and proceeded to the shower area. Feeling excited for IL, BN followed. Within a few seconds, IL’s Significant Other (SO) arrived and looked for him. When she saw a woman’s bag, SO asked the attendant who owned the stuff. The attendant said that the owner was BN, and as soon as SO heard the name, she rushed to the shower room.

When SO saw that BN was about to enter the shower room, she screamed. As BN has a certain reputation and a rumor that already linked her to IL, SO called her out. At the top of her voice, she told her, “Stay away from my boyfriend!” As the screaming reverberated in the area, tensions were high, and a catfight was about to happen. Interrupted in his shower, IL had to step out of the area and stop the impending scandalous scene between BN and SO. BN had no choice, but to retreat. She gathered what was left of her pride, got her bag, and walked away feeling disappointed that nothing happened between her and IL.

Letter from a Reader: GMA Employee Reveals GMA Practices in Relation to their Loss in the TAG Case

Image courtesy of www.fontmeme.com

Hi FashionPulis,

I am working in GMA 7 for the longest time. I would like to share something about the latest development ng station.

1. Tuloy pa rin ang mass lay-off sa company. But this time, hindi lang mga redundant position ang tatanggalin kung hindi incompetent staff. At isa sa tinatarget ngayon, mga reporters. That's why this month, inimplent na nila XXX and Xxxxx Xxxx Xxxx ang palitan ng mga beat ng reporters. If you would notice sa mga Instagram and Facebook posts nina Xxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx, Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx, et. al. natanggal sila sa kanilang mga beat. Majority ng mga reporters apektado. Si Xxxx Xxxxxxx na nawala sa XXXX, ang ginagawa ngayon kinakausap ang ibang mga reporters from other station na kasama niya sa beat and some "officials" na huwag tulungan o suportahan (yes, that is the exact term na ginamit niya) kung sino man ang papalit sa kanya dun para marealize ng News Department na kawalan siya.

Reason for the sudden changes of beat: an order and kung sino man ang reporter na hindi makakapag-adjust sa bago niyang beat, magkakaroon ng grounds para hindi tumaas ang kanilang evaluation or worst case scenario, mamaalam sa company. Hindi naman sila makakalipat sa competing station dahil may one year ban.

2. Affected na din sa lay-off ang Program Manager ng Public Affairs programs. Since nanalo ang TAG sa labor arbiter, uunahin nila ang PM na maraming case filers like Xxxxxxxxxx di niya napigilan ang mag-file ng kaso and then lahat ng pasimuno doon nanggaling. Kaya ang PM ng Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxxk gumawa na ng way para matanggal sa show nila ang case filer at ang ginawa niyang grounds hindi pagtratrabaho ng mga ito.

3. Hindi natuloy ang RSA-GMA deal because binitiwan ito ni RSA nung malaman na matatalo ang GMA sa kaso ng TAG. Aware ang mga boss na hindi sila mananalo at ang sasalubong kay RSA pagdating sa network, i-regular ang almost 100 case filers. Ang gusto mangyari ni RSA, hati sila ni FLG and JRD sa pagbabayad pero hindi pumayag ang mga big bosses.

4. 70% na i-regular na ng GMA Network ang case filers but they have hidden agendas na kung saan one wrong move, you are out. Kaya ginagawa ng Network na magtanggal at maghigpit sa mga empleyado because of TAG. It will boil down to them. Na TAG ang dahilan nang lahat ng ito.

Please post our situation. Nakakapaso ang kainitan sa network ngayon. Maraming nadadamay. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

Disgruntled GMA Employee
