MANILA, Philippines (6th UPDATE) - Ram Bautista Revilla, a half-brother of Senator Ramon 'Bong' Revilla Jr., was killed in his home in Parañaque City before midnight on Friday.

Sen. Revilla told dzMM that a gunman wearing a bonnet entered the 2-storey house of his half-brother in BF Homes and then shot and stabbed him and his girlfriend, Janelle Manahan.

Ram, 22, also an actor, is a son of former Senator Ramon Revilla Sr. and Genelyn Magsaysay. He sustained multiple stab wounds on the head and on different parts of his body.

Citing a police report, Sen. Revilla said the gunman shot Ram with a .45 caliber gun and then stabbed him.

"Kailangang medyo may gawin talaga ang ating kapulisan. Nakakalungkot. Sa aspetong ito hindi kami titigil hangga't hindi ito nabibigyan ng hustisya," Sen. Revilla said.

Ram was declared dead on arrival at the Parañaque Medical Center.

“Maraming saksak sa likod at ulo, iba’t-ibang parte ng katawan at saka sabi may isa daw tama ng bala,” said first responder, Police Officer 2 Francisco Bukid.

Manahan was also shot twice on the left side of the face and shoulder.

"May tama sa panga but I think she's okay," Sen. Revilla said.

She is now under observation at the Asian Hospital in Muntinlupa City.

Manahan is now able to talk, according to Sen. Revilla's executive assistant.

Girlfriend called cops

Bukid said the wounded Manahan was the one who reported the incident to police through 117.

“Na-receive namin yung tawag 11:55 p.m. more or less 11:45 p.m. nangyari yung insidente. Ang sabi niya, naka-bonnet daw dalawang tao,” said Bukid.

Manahan was still conscious when police arrived at their house. Police immediately brought Revilla to the Parañaque Medical Center .

Another sibling, Ramona Revilla, was allegedly in the house when the incident happened, Bukid said.

The suspects took Ramona with them but dropped her off in front of a mall an hour later.

“Nandoon [din] daw [sa bahay] pero nakuha sa Las Piñas. Under shock pa kaya di pa siya makausap,” said Bukid.

Sen. Revilla took custody of his sister for security reasons.

Police undertakes probe

Aside from Ramona, 4 other people—3 household help and Ram’s production assistant--were also in the house at the time of the incident. They are now being questioned by police.

Police probers are also talking to Nino Tabada, the security guard on duty at the gate of the subdivision, which was very near Ram’s house.

Police recovered an empty shell of .45 calibre gun, but the firearm and knife used in the crime were not recovered from the crime scene.

Sen. Revilla condemned the heinous crime and vowed to seek justice for his kin.

"Wala akong alam na may kagalit ito. Ang alam ko, gusto niya...nagaambisyon siya na tumakbo na konsehal sa bayan ng Imus," he said. "Mabait na tao ito, wala akong masabing masama."

Ram's Facebook page says he planned on running for councilor of Imus, Cavite.

Favorite child


Senator Ramon 'Bong' Revilla Jr.
Sen. Revilla said Ram was his father's "favorite" child. "Paborito ng daddy ko 'to."

He said they still don't know how to break the news to him given his father's failing health. The former senator is 84 years old. He has over 80 children with many wives.

Sen. Revilla said robbery was not the motive since nothing was taken from the house.

"Sobra ang galit para gawin ito," he said.

Ram's body was later brought to Sapinoso Funeral Homes in their hometown in Imus. -- with reports from Dexter Ganibe, DZMM.

Nahuli na daw 2 suspects.

MANILA, Philippines (1st UPDATE) - Police on Monday arrested 2 suspects in the murder of aspiring actor-politician Ramgen “Ram” Bautista Revilla, son of former Senator Ramon Revilla Sr.

Police arrested Michael Cruz Altia and Roy Francis Tolisora, alleged hired killers who were reportedly wearing Halloween masks when they entered Ram's house and killed him and shot his girlfriend, Janelle Manahan.

Task Force Ramgen head Maj. Enrique Sy said the 2 suspects are now under the custody of the Parañaque police while 3 more suspects remain at large.

Investigators earlier said they are looking into the possibility that a relative was the mastermind behind the killing of Revilla.

Cavite Mayor Strike Revilla, the victim’s half brother, said this will be a big blow to the family if it turns out to be true.

Nonetheless, they will not protect their relative if proven that he or she is the mastermind, the older Revilla said.

Ram was shot and stabbed dead in his house in Phase 6, BF Homes in Parañaque City before midnight on Friday.

Manahan is now recovering at the Asian Hospital in Alabang, Muntinlupa City.

According to Ram's sister, Ramona, the suspects first shot Janelle and then shot and stabbed Ram 11 times.

Senator Ramon “Bong” Revilla Jr. offered on Saturday a P500,000 reward for information that would lead to the arrests of those involved in the killing of his half-brother. – With reports from Ricky Velasco, dzMM; Zyann Ambrosio and Maan Macapagal, ABS-CBN News

Diba ang pinaka maraming anak eh yun salvador?

[Monseratto]

Why do I get the feeling that the Revillas are trying to influence the investigation with their pronouncement of innocence for the 2 suspected sibling...

[shadow]

actually to be fair. JR didn't actually say they are innocent, he was just asking for a reinvestigation since it's a shocker 'coz family members are involved..and he didn't asked NBI to do a parallel investigation..

saka he didn't stop then police from apprehending the younger brother tapos nakakulong pa talaga sa ordinary jail...

I think he's just trying to save the family name, kasi iba nga nag dating na magkakapatid nagpatayan

Why do I get the feeling that the Revillas are trying to influence the investigation with their pronouncement of innocence for the 2 suspected sibling......

oo nga eh. akala ata ni bong nasa pelikula siya....gusto pa ng take 2. gusto pa ng reinvestigation. di na lang manahimik at pakinggan yung mga pulis.

eto na si ramona, magulo raw isipan nya kaya di siya humingi ng tulong at nagtatakbo na lang. eh-he-heh! ayan na yung dikta ng abugado nila.........

naraanan nya yung sekyu sa village nila, di siya humingi ng tulong doon?

Ramgen’s sister denies part in killing but admits she wasn’t abducted


MANILA, Philippines – Ramona Bautista, sister of Ramgen Bautisa, who has been tagged as one of the suspects in the killing of the actor, denied any involvement but admitted that she was not abducted as what has been reported.
In an exclusive phone patch interview with ANC television, Ramona said that she ran as far away as possible after the perpetrators attacked and killed Ram in their house in Paranaque City last October 28.
She said that was not in the right state of mind when she claimed that she was abducted.
“I was no longer in the right state of mind, I just wanted to get away from there,” she said in Filipino. She added that she also feared for her life.
She said she immediately sought assistance from the nearest police station after running away.
She denied the allegations of Janelle Manahan, Ramgen’s girlfriend, who said she was with the suspect who shot her brother . “That is not true,” she said.
Bautista said she was with Ram and Janelle in the room when the gunman came.
She also denied Manahan’s statement that she did not help her by calling an ambulance. “I helped her, she knows that” she said in Filipino.
She said that she only saw one gunman attack Ram, which Manahan also claimed in her statement.
ANC quoted Bautista’s lawyer as saying that his client would only come out if a warrant of arrest was issued.
Ramgen Bautista, who went by the screen name Ram Revilla, was the oldest of nine siblings of former Senator Ramon Revilla Sr. and Genalyn Magsaysay.
