Tara Santelices 1

Tara Santelices

It was the eve of her 23rd birthday, August 6, 2008, when Tara was shot in the head.

The young NGO worker boarded a jeep on her way home to Cainta with her best friend Joee Mejias, when a passenger declared a hold-up. The man pulled out his gun and ordered the girls to give him their bags. Tara resisted the gunman. He pulled the trigger, shooting Tara on the forehead.

The jeepney driver continued on his usual route, even picking up other passengers, before bringing the girls to an ill-equipped clinic.

Tara was in a coma by then. Her parents, Larry and Anne struggled to keep the hope alive for their daughter.

The Cainta Police insisted they had solved the case because they found the suspect - who was killed in an alleged shootout with the police. But Joee Mejias and another witness both say the suspect was not the same man who shot Tara.

Learn the questions that still surround this case ... and witness the triumph of the human spirit when Arnold Clavio visits Tara this week at the Medical City Hospital.

Pauwi ng Cainta si Tara Santelices at ang kaibigan na si Joee Mejias ng hinoldup ang sinasakyan nilang keep. Kinuha ang bag ni Tara nang holdupper ng siya ay nanlaban. Binaril si Tara sa ulo ng holduuper at bumaba sa jeep.

Sa kanyang pagkakabaril sa ulo, na-comatose si Tara ng ilang buwan. Ngayong Huwebes sa Case Unclosed kasama si Arnold Clavio, kamustahin natin ang kalagayan ni Tara at ano ang nangyari sa kaso ng kanyang pagka - holdap.

Pakinggan ang madamdaming salaysay ng magulang ni Tara at kung paano nila pinipilit harapin ang bukas kung halos siyam na buwan nang nasa ospital ang kanilang anak. Ano na ang nangyari kay Tara? Bakit sinabi ng kanyang mga magulang na ang mali ang suspect ng pulis sa pamamaslang? Ano ang katibayan ng pulis para sabihin na case close na ang kaso ni Tara Santelices?

"A regime of truth? justice??????? freedom? love? equality? peace??????" napapatupad nga ang 1987 constitution... magaling... magaling... Sana sa darating na eleksyon, magkaron naman ng PAGBABAGO...
