ha ha ha your right David we call this term in States "One foot on the banana peel while the other in on the grave!"

I looked up this so called syndrome...It happens to service men especially those who have been in war.

The particular disease does not kill a person.

It is treated by several anti depressants.(Administered by a licensed Psychiatrist.)

This woman appears somewhat allegedly negligent as his wife in my eyes and having much similarity and knowledge with several kinds of mental sickness conditions?

I even looked up a face book account on this woman which may have ben hers and if it was her account man she was she ever busy spending her time playing all types of farmville, Zooville but never was there any info exchanged amongst her friends or relatives neither are there pictures of her. So she had plenty of time to help him survive if this was her account in where she appears to be just standing by to abide time....

So why did she allow this man (her husband to lapse?

I know for a fact it is illegal to ship medicines from states especially those for mental illness.

The victim Jesse hails from Oakland Oregon. A place located in Central Oregon and near to three sisters Mountains in this place also.

The people population is dense in Indian tribal places such as this place where he is from. The population is around 1000 persons in Oakland Oregon. (Indian tribe area.)

I am curious about this case and why is it the autopsy did not mention anything about heart attacks, high blood.....

I have loads of questions....as a media person should have.....Hmmmm?

How was this woman's reputation with his family's family back in the states?


A big dako Y' Klaro Jyud!!!

many wives when I ask for their foreigner partners contact number to invite them to join the foreigner group here, the Filipina is so controlling to the point that she does not want her man to have any outside contact and he or she will say you can have the number of their Filipina wife or girlfriend.

Yesterday I seen a not so attractive Filipina woman and a not so attractive foreign man enter into a pension house....she looked so nervous when my companion back rider also a Filipina had seen her entering into the pension house with-out suitcases on the back of the foreigners motor....

The time of the day was around 2pm I could hear the man ask for a check in of around three hours time with the security guard. grabe!

Another case this past week involving  was when a sales lady aged 18 years old, was in a relationship with an Australian man and they had met over the internet.

The man came here to meet her and the two had taken on a relationship. Then when the couple checked into a resort in an out of town place in Valencia. The sales lady is allegedly accusing the foreigner of rape. The man who allegedly raped his girlfriend his name is in the newspaper write up and also his age of 60 years old. In my opinion if your accuse to a ledge someone as something as severe as rape you had better have your marbles put in a bag and be bold enough and sure enough to so that your not ashamed or for uncertain that your name cannot be mentioned in the write up?

This foreigner is innocent until proven guilty beyond any unreasonable doubt. If you mention his name her name must also be mentioned...mao ba!

The name of the woman was not in the write up it should have been in the write up as she is not at a minor age.

I realize the economy is not the best here, and i know Filipino rape women and young girls as well here but more often you always see the young Filipina going after foreigner man in a case such as this.....does it have anything to do with knowing the foreigner is more worthy in collecting money to help her family or own material needs. (Reminds all over again about the times when the late victim Martin Williams was accused of rape before being brutally murdered?) I have noticed this culture as a drama loving culture...And sympathy is played easily amongst the people here for their own race.
If it happens to an outsider never mind but if it somethings to a Filipino....then the people here care.
She should not have gone to the resort with her boyfriend to begin with....I thought this was suppose to be a descent conservative Catholic religion people province place? 


I know I am running off at the mouth again....but it is my right!!!

The man was 64 years old and forgot to bring extra medication from the states. It was his own negligence that led to his own death; he should have brought extra; and you can get antidepressants from any Philippine pharmacy.

The standard drug preference for depression would be SSRIs and the popular kinds are Fluoxetine, Escilatopram or Sertraline.

These types of antidepressants are found everywhere; am sure in many pharmacies in Bohol. He could have gone to a Filipino Doctor and asked for treatment, and would have been able to pick it up that day.

And depression does not kill a person; unless this man had underlying diseases besides depression. He was 64 years old and I'm only presuming that he was probably hypertensive, diabetic, and suffering some kind of Cardiac problem (the three are popular COD (causes of death)  amongst American men).





Requiem In Pacem.

Yes indeed, and his death should not be attributed to the wife, rather, medical care. He is 64 years old and who knows what kind of medical condition he had besides post traumatic stress disorder. If he knew his medical condition, he should have known better than going to the Philippines if he knew that his medication would be limited or hampered in anyway.

Additionally, what is the importance of noting how many foreigners died in Bohol? Is this really necessary? This is a private matter.

It would be like people here in New Jersey printing in the news how many Israelis, Germans, French, British, Russian etc citizens that die while on their stay in our state. This should be a private matter, and not divulged unto the public to be preyed upon. For privacy's sake.


My two scents.

Lorenzo- No medicine will be forwarded to the Philippines by any Dr. due to the simple fact that he is not able to monitor and do regular check ups for this person.

Secondly- He has been here for some time already and to your realization no those medicines you mentioned are rarely found in Bohol. here in Bohol you do not have a Dr.who can recommend psychiatric medicines unless without prior psychiatric evaluation.
Unfortunate Bohol has only one psychologist not psychiatrist.

Maybe you are more likely to find in Cebu or Manila.

As for this being a private issue. I am sure you are aware of the newspapers it was printed in are both on the world wide web.

I find the reporting to be highly questionable and flawless leaving out detail. If a man or woman pulls the plug on his or her spouse with-out prior permission it is called murder....if a husband or a wife does not help out when they know the other is sick yes, there are things to do to prevent the sickness from resulting into death. If the one spouse does not help to prevent over sickness or death from happening it should be also looked as as some sort of negligence on her part? As David said in an reply earlier....Two thumbs up!

Lorenzo maybe 63 is old age for your culture but in the states it is still considered a very young age. here they think 35 is already not sexy and too old...lol!!!.....I am 44 years old and when I see some of these women here they appear to look way older than me because of the hard life that is dealt out so wrongfully to them here.

Then there are women here who are older than me who are much more sexier than I am.

Lorenzo I have a question for you....If I lay in bed with-out medicines unable to drive myself and you are my husband and know I have a mental illness and maybe other complications would you try to find me medicines? or would you let me go with-out being maintained?

It sounds like to me she did not go get medicines for him as she said he was four days with-out his medicines....(The two become one) in sickness and in health so she should of helped him have medicines so he would not have ended up hypertensive to the point in where other problems had intensified enough to kill him....
