The murder of Ruby Rose Barrameda-Jimenez
I have always believed that the Philippines, especially the Corazon Aquino Government, succumbed to European pressures to abolish the death penalty. I’m not talking as La Kapitana, but as a concerned Pinoy Citizen calling for the restoration of capital punishment for heinous crimes. And the more it becomes outrageous when you read headlines about the murder of Ruby Rose Barrameda-Jimenez.
Who is Ruby Rose?
Ruby Rose, sister of actress and former beauty queen, Rochelle Barrameda, disappeared on March 14, 2007, after a bitter custody dispute with her estranged husband, Manuel Jimenez III, for their two children.
The news have it that Ruby Rose’s father-in-law, Manuel Jimenez II, and uncle-in-law, Lope Jimenez, who had been charged for the grisly murder, were dreaded by people who knew them. Residents of the coastal towns of Cavite, where carrying firearms was common, did not dare cross paths with the Jimenezes as they are feared, not respected.”
The murder of Ruby Rose Barrameda-Jimenez, whose body was stuffed and cemented into a steel container and then thrown into the murky waters off Navotas, was so chilling even a seasoned police investigator found it hard to describe what happened who said “The crime was really horrifying. It’s indescribable and unthinkable,” said Chief Supt. Roberto Rosales, head of the National Capital Region Police Office (NCRPO). He had heard of this method of killing during the dark period of the Marcos dictatorship, he said but this was the first time a woman was made to suffer such an unspeakable death.

asan na ang puso ng mga taong gumawa sa kanya nito?
barbaric is probably a softer term! kinikilabutan ako just thinking about it.
para lang sa custody ng mga anak?? papatayin ng ganito. nangingilabot ako just reading here. i missed this in the news.i dont like watching news on tv…lahat ng balita, tragic!
gosh. inaabangan ko pa naman sa Tuesday sa QTV ang Reunion (tv show) episode ni Rochelle and Ruby. this is so sad.
there was also a gruesome murder during cory’s time (not sure) The Elsa Santos Castillo chop chop story.
and back in the (60′s?), the Lucila Lalu story which was also chop chop.
These two cases were not about abuse but more on jealousy or relationships that had gone awry.
it is also suspected that this barrameda murder is linked to secrets that ruby knew about her alleged murderer.
And you think, you only read this in detective/suspense stories.
baka isapelikula na naman ito.
mismo mam caT. if im not mistaken it was shown on cinema. at napanood ko ata yung movie na may chop chop lady. tumatak na sa isip ko yung pagka dark ng pelikula.
i remember the lucila lalu story
The truth are stranger than fiction..
As usual walang takot ang pinoy, kanya-kanya; no discipline, lawless. It’s jungle/war zone out there. As they say, shit happens in da phils. Bad trip na talaga ang pinas.
Reynz, Sa drum muna siya sinilid then senemento,ipinasok sa steel container then senemento uli.1 ton daw ang bigat at ginamitan ng forklift para madala sa boat para ihulog sa dagat. May 5 pa na victims family ang lumutang sa ganun din style na pagpatay at now lang nagkalakas ng loob lumabas. Grabe! Parang Yakuza at Mafia style ano?
Isama nyu naman ung mga low profile killings na nangyari sa kabaryohan.
Pag pulubi ang tumira sa kapwa pulubi mostly based on what I’d seen sa aming baryo long time ago, talagang susurender na itong gumawa ng krimen.
hahaha! nakakatawa dahil for example ung pinutol nung ka-baryo ang ulo ng kapitbahay (na when it happened it was like slow motion, the other guy just have to move his head back. pero hindi. naghintay syang tatamaan… or why not just run! he chosed to die that day… i think…)
Nung makitang bumagsak na ang katawan nong mama sa kinatayuan at ung ulo gumulong gulong gulong hilly kasi ung pinangyarihan, naglakad naglakad na ung kriminal papuntang munisipyo dala dala ang duguang itak.
habang kaming kabataan nasa kanyang likuran sunod sunod akala mo mga langaw.
Mas magandang diskripsyon, para kaming mga meimbro ng banda (boom tarat-rarat) at sya ang aming harapan parang MAJORETTE, duguang itak ang dala dala instead na baton.
kahapon sa interview ni tito boy kay rochelle barrameda, sinabi nya na niyakap pa nya at pinatawad yun guy na pumatay at nag semento sa kapatid nya
whaaaat?!!! even if he’s just an accessory to the crime, he should be punished too
I find it odd too ms. malensky. imagine, yung niyakap niya – yun ang pumatay at naglagay ng semento sa kanyang naghihingalong kapatid that fateful day.
napa-what nga ako!
nyaaak? kahit pa sabihing accessorie lang sya at sya pa ang witness ngayon diko kakayaning yakapin sya
1980′s Father Favali, the italyan priest murder case.

The story was horror! I was not sure. But of what I heard… kinain pa daw ng kriminal ang utak.
Kinain ang utak na nagkalat sa may lutak.
Kinain nilang hilaw ang utak,
Hilaw, walang lutuan
Na usually, niluluto naman
ay, laman pala di utak
Slurp, slurp kung pakinggan
Nung kinain ang utak sa may lutak
Dahil low-life na kriminal ang pumatay, sabay slurp ang utak sa may lutak.
Matapang! Magaling! Marunong! INDI DUTLAN BALA TING-GA! me ara anting-anting… Oh no, sabi nila. sobra naman yan, HANDS-OFF LAHAT NA MGA SUPPORTERS – BIG TIME SUPPORTERS NG BAYAN – DYNASTIES OF THEIR AREAs AND TIME.
He used to be an asset now a liability.
They abandoned him. Together, he should go to prison.
He went to prison. Ang kriminal na taga Mindanao naka survive sa BILIBID PRISON ng KAMAYNILAAN! Bilibid prison sa mga kagaya nina, Baby Face, at atbp.
Hey, at least si Baby Face, di naman kumain ng utak ano. pero itong taga Mindanao… kinain ang UTAK!
Nobody could vouch the “brain eater”… nabilanggo. There was justice for Father Tulio Favali, misyonaryo galing Italya.
Justice served. thank you!
Nabilangg-napreso at lumabas.
pinatawad sya sa lahat na involve. HE IS A FREEMAN!
Dahil ang hustisya ay meron ding kapatawaran after serving the time.
Goodluck to him, too!
Kudos to his new life! Wow!
He served his time for murder. Now he is free! Kapatawaran… meron din tayo nyan.
Sus, ginoo KUNG Kriminal kang MARAMING RESOURCES…
kung mayaman ka na kriminal, you could get away FROM ALMOST EVERYTHING! And I asked why? HOW IN THE HELL they do that? We must learn from them and then expose the trick!
EXPOSE THEIR MAGIC!
grabe grabe tumatayong lahat ng balahibo ko, diko maimagine kung panong sakit ang nararamdaman ng pamilya,mahirap kalabanin yung mga malalakas ang kapit at mayayaman pero pag pamilya mo na ang nasangkot malilimutan mong matakot sa mga animales na to para sa pamilya talagang patay kung patay,isa na nga lang ang kahit pano kinatatakutan ng tao ang death penalty nawala pa… wala na talagang kinatatakutan ang ganitong mga tao.
Ano kaya ang nasa isip ni Ms. Ruby when she breathed her last? Sabi nang iba nagpa-flashback daw ang mga may near-death experience.
Re death penalty, kung talagang ang mahuhuli, makukulong, at sasalang sa death row ay tunay na may kasalanan, pabor ako dito.
nakaranas na rin ako ng direkta at di-direktang kasamaan ng tao..naholdap ako twice, tatlong hired killer dumaan sa harapan ng bahay namin first day ng school two years ago, itinumba ang isang kapitbahay namin. Nakakatakot…pero kung may death penalty kahit papaano may pangingilagan ang masasamang loob.
Death Penalty is bad, really really bad in a Corrupt SOCIETY/Environment. The corrupt can now legalize killing especially POLITICAL KILLING and political descent.
One case of justice at a time. Sana uusad ang kasong ito.Clear as daylight na walang unos, mabigat ang ebidensya laban sa mga fishing business ng mga suspek…Nakapanggigigil ang balitang ito…
@dfish, ang hasang mo easy ka lang, e medyo mabigat yung kinakapitan nung pamilya e at muka talagang gawain nila yun
UPDATE:
[...] news about the death of Ruby Rose Barrameda-Jimenez can’t get out of my [...]
I am sorry – but I must comment on the atrocity of this case! Is there simply NO justince in the Philippines? When does a crime become so horrific, that money and family power no longer overcome the barbaric failure of decent humanity?
Mr NBI man….Mr DOJ man….How much does it cost to FIX the case of the murder of your daughters and sisters?
Rest In Peace Ruby Rose!
i wonder what’s the latest on this case? do you know?
