Hello Lumine and Ralds,
I had mentioned it about three years a go in one of our press conferences but not out loud it was a conversation held at a lunchoen table regarding foreigners not having to marry to buy properties.
I was shocked to have learned that it was my country that decided long a go to not allow foreigners to take what belongs to the Philippines.
But times have changed and the population has been way over grown and resources are scarce.
So foreigners need to invest so that we can make jobs for the people here so that the kids can eat properlyand live properly and human as possible.
To lessesn corruption and to make a more honest and not so lazy police force by allowing them to get they're full bennefits in order to let them want to work the way they should.
Right now at current the sittuation is not good but it would improve wonderfully with foreigners coming here under good intentions and being appreciated for what they have done thatwill be good.
Martin had plans to put up a Villa for people who were on low income he wanted to help persons here.
He and his freinds discussed it many times even when he had just arrived here and had freinds in the sports bar he would talk too about it.
It would of been what they could afforded to pay for rent and not end up broke, it would of been a good example for the philippine persons to see that this is how you are to take care of people who are less unfortunante.
Sad to say Martins life was taken away and he can no longer do what he and his freinds had been planning to do from England.
Now on the other hand a wife in Margie's sittuation if she truly miss's her husband would continue his legacy in his name.
The best advice to give Gie in this sittuation is get the bar fixxed up really nice, go to work in it and run it the best she can to help her daughter and her, and keep the house as it will always go up in value.
it's a beautiful home and she should consider herself lucky it is nice and paid for I know plenty women in the states who have children and a rockyroad marraige and they are not sittiing in a 15million piso home.
I know up untill around Augest, Sept, Oct, Martin loved his wife and daughter very much.
His freinds ae clean shaven business type freinds, not sleazy or dirty old men. and the ones i had met were marreid and descent family men.
I had met maybe four of his freinds who came here to see there mate from England.
I have seen that area where martin was found dead, no way would anyone go there alone or with people at that time of the night.
it's a steep embankment and below the road and if the tide is high enough if you were to fall over the railing its a straight drop into the bay.
Its a steep embankment with small trees and it was around 150-200 metres from where he was checked in at.
let me describe mongrove, it is off the road quaint, sort of like a victorian bed and breakfast tyle place were the Westerners and Eauropeans like to stay because of its quantenance.
It is surrounded by vegetation and trees and plants, and it you are a foreigner and still new here for 1-2 or 3 years you would not know that it was a short time place.
It is a secluded place and that is where he chose to be safe at while protecting his witness at the same time.
Martin did ot come across as a dark or shadey person I am sure he comes from a clean non abussive family as well as having non alcoholic family members around him when he was raised in England to have put him in any wrong type of personality as an adult.
Most often you find that persons who are mean adults are those coming from a childhood environent of being around a parent or parents who is violent or an abusser of alcohol. most kids who end up as hatefull adults do not know any bettter and often you will will find a parent or a cousin or an uncle having a criminal record rangining from physical abuse, stealing, extortionist, shoplifting Etc....
That adult as a child who is mean does not know how to love or be loved all they know is hate and take what they can get materialistically or sometimes emotionally ungreatfully with out even knowing the way they behave is bad.
Martin was giving because it is how he was raised in an environment not rich but not poor but from an environment on knowing what it is to work and keep what you have and appreciate what it is you have worked for.
He knew what it was like to start out from the bottom and since God was good to him he wanted to help Philippine persons here who were not born fortunant.
he is not a rapist and i heard from designers and persons who knew and worked with martin that the employees of martin were very well taken care of.
Atty. lim worked with Martin well, and martin had not just an Atty. in Lim but had made a freind.
I read the police blotter in Jan, 2009, in panglao where it was written that he did not have any grudges with any of the locals.
CSI and autopsy records thank God for that technology because it speaks for the dead. it is capable to make a liar out of any alleged suspect or confirm what he has said. to be true or it could lead into others being involved?
It can pin point many things that the human body endured during the trauma of the murder and the physical aspect sometimes right down as to who is the killer/s and how many were they and what happened in sequence.
Got to love Sceince!
I thought about that line of work before but it is really a tedious project to be able to get it right on and be sure in any cases that it is used in.
It can make or break a case.
Lorenzo, may be able to explainit better then me.
Lorenzo, what are the findings that an autopsy can show as far as murder crimes?
