Six policemen, including Supt. Franklin Moises Mabanag, were each suspended for six months after they were found to have used excessive force in arresting relatives of the late Trinidad Arteche Etong, the wife of broadcaster Ted Failon, two months ago.

CBN news anchor Ted Failon made his first visit to the National Bureau of Investigation a week after his wife, Trinidad Arteche-Etong, was cremated.

The Quezon City policemen who arrested ABS-CBN news anchor Ted Failon's in-laws and household helpers may dismissed from the service and jailed for more than eight years for not reading the Miranda rights, a National Police Commission official said Friday.

The situation now faced by the Failon family gained different opinions from Filipinos around the globe.

The chief of the Quezon City Police District admitted Friday that the policemen who arrested the siblings of the late wife of ABS-CBN news anchor Ted Failon seemed to have used an excessive use of force.

The Quezon City Police District announced that it will be holding daily press briefings on its ongoing investigation on the death of Trinidad "Trina" Etong, the late wife of veteran ABS-CBN broadcaster Ted Failon, starting Monday.

Human rights advocates criticized on Friday Quezon City police operatives who handled the alleged suicide of Trinidad 'Trina' Etong, the wife of ABS-CBN broadcast journalist Ted Failon.
