The Case of Jason Ivler.

Jason Ivler is the prime suspect in the November 18 road range murder of Renato Victor Ebarle, son of Presidential chief of staff Renato Ebarle Sr. After a couple of months hiding from the law, he was finally arrested at his mother’s Blue Ridge A Subdivision home. Ivler is the stepson of ADB British Economist Stephen Pollard and nephew of folk singer Freddie Aguilar who is the brother of her mother Marlene Aguilar Pollard.

I’ve seen on the television the actual raid of the NBI to the house of Marlene. It appears that she tried to hid her son in their storage room from the authorities, which they failed even after the two previous raids on their house. Eventhough Ivler was already arrested; Marlene still strongly denied that his son was taking refuge in her house.

We all know that the very first thing that a mother would do is to protect her child from danger. There are many ways in showing love to a child, and as what Marlene did in the situation, she preferred to hid Ivler because she thought that it is good for him; but things didn’t went through as what she wanted to be. For me, Marlene should surrender his son knowing that he killed someone rather than to suffer just like what happened to Ivler who got injuries during the raid. Everyone of us has a responsibility, and with that, she should let his son to face the consequences to make him realize on the things he had done. Marlene should also think on what the victim’s mother feels who lost her only son. It is not good that a mother will always take care of the bad consequences on his actions because her child will not know his/her limits. Marlene should not spoil Ivler when he was still young so that he would not act like this.
