'I did it for love'

MANILA, Philippines - Janelle Manahan allowed herself to be filmed having sex with her boyfriend, Ramgen Bautista, out of love, the actress said in a television interview aired over ANC Saturday night.

“Mahal ko yung tao (I love him),” she told Bottomline host Boy Abunda.

The videos they did out of love are now causing her tears. Two have gone viral over the Internet and Manahan believes Bautista’s family is behind the leak. She said they did at least 10 videos.

“They are in possession of the laptop,” she said.

Manahan, who was weeping during the interview, said she no longer trusts his family. She recalled asking the Bautistas to help her seek justice for her boyfriend. “They seemed to be against me, so I let them do what they want,” she said.

The actress said the Bautistas also claimed she was the real target of the attack. “Either way, one of their family members is dead. I was hoping they will fight for Ramgen as well,” she said.

Slowly, Manahan is trying to forgive and finding ways to give “100 percent forgiveness.”

“I learned something from my grandmother. She said so I will feel less burdened, I should learn to give 100 percent forgiveness to help Ramgen’s soul,” she said.

Meanwhile, Ramon Joseph Bautista, the principal suspect in the murder of his brother, is scheduled to be arraigned tomorrow morning.

Bautista, 18, will enter his plea before Judge Fortunito Madrona of Paranaque Regional Trial Court.

He has been detained at the Parañaque City jail since his arrest last October.

Ramgen was killed inside their family residence in BF Homes on Oct. 28.

Ramon Joseph, his sister Ramona, and five others were accused of plotting the murder. They all denied the accusation.
