The Truth about Beth Tamayo and Elizabeth Batain

What I found out early today:
Beth Tamayo is dead.
Beth Tamayo was sentenced to death.
Beth Tamayo and Elizabeth Batain are only ONE and the Same Person.

A mere Hoax, a Rumor.

When I first heard the news, spreading like wildfire in SMS as well as in many social networking sites, I began doing my own researches. I initially find this thing very cheap but mind you, I honestly got curious. They say curiosity kills and so I went online and search over the web. In a very few clicks, these what I got:

Conclusion: This is a mere Hoax, a Rumor.

Indeed, Beth Tamayo isn't Elizabeth Batain.

Actress Beth Tamayo broke her silence on the rumor that she and Elizabeth Batain, one of the Filipinos who was executed recently in China are one and the same.

“Hindi ko lang ma-gets na bakit saken agad na-iconnect yung Beth na binitay.” part of Beth Tamayo’s e-mail sent to GMA-7′s showbiz talk show, Startalk said. “I’m very much alive and kicking.” she added. She also sent her condolonces to the family of Batain. Beth is currently in the United States and was last seen on GMA-7′s fantaserye Luna Mystika.

Beth Tamayo very much "alive and kickin'"; Kris Aquino visits family of the real Elizabeth Batain

Nagpadala ang aktres na si Beth Tamayo sa Startalk—ang showbiz talk show ng GMA-7—ng reaksiyon kaugnay sa kumalat na balitang siya umano si Elizabeth Batain, ang isa sa tatlong Pinoy na binitay sa China kamakailan lang dahil sa pagiging drug mules diumano.

Tanging si Elizabeth ang hindi ipinakita ang litrato, pati ang pamilya nitong pumunta ng China bago siya binitay.

Bahagi ng email na ipinadala nito sa Startalk ang sumusunod: "Ang dami namang Beth, why me? Just because i haven't been in the surface? Hindi ko lang ma-gets na bakit saken agad na-iconnect yung Beth na binitay.

"Now, it makes me think na baka yung mga naghahanap sa ex ko ang may gawa nito just so I could re-surface and give my side. I don't wanna say anything anymore but just to appease some people who might be wondering or baka maniwala kaya eto ako i'm giving a reaction about it.

"But for the record again.. i'm very much ALIVE and KICKIN'!"

Ang tinutukoy na "ex" ni Beth ay ang kanyang asawa na si Johnny Wong.

Ayon pa kay Beth, sa tanang buhay niya ay hindi pa raw siya nakarating ng China.

Nasa Amerika pa raw siya ngayon, pero ayaw muna niyang sabihin kung anong state ito.

Sinabi pa ni Beth na mabuti't hindi na raw ito nakarating sa mommy niya dahil hindi naman daw siya tinext o tinawagan tungkol sa balitang ito.

Kaya sa huling bahagi ng email ni Beth, inulit nitong buhay na buhay siya at walang dapat ipag-alala ang mga kaibigan at pamilya.

Nagparating din ito ng pakikiramay sa pamilyang naiwan ni Elizabeth Batain.

KRIS'S TESTIMONY. Si Kris Aquino ang isa sa makapagpapatunay na hindi si Beth ang tinutukoy na "Elizabeth Batain" dahil dinalaw daw niya ang pamilya ng huli sa Quezon province kamakailan lang.

Kuwento ni Kris sa PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal), "I went to the family. I asked their permission if I could talk about it, and they allowed me kasi I wanted to respect kaya walang press na sumama sa amin.

"Kasama ko yung daughter ni Vice President [Jejomar] Binay, si Anne. Sila kasi yung may communication, 'saka I went to Batain family... Ito yung family ni Elizabeth na never ipinakita yung litrato, ayaw nilang magpa-media.

"I took the chopper yesterday, it took more than an hour to get there kasi nasa dulo talaga ng Quezon. But fulfilling kasi talagang nagpasalamat sila na nagbigay kami ng pagmamalasakit, na nakiramay kami sa kanila.


"Tapos, marami silang mga gustong i-explain tungkol sa kapatid nila, kasi masakit talaga lahat ng accusations na pinagdaanan. And then I met her two children. Kinantahan nga ako nung daughter. Sinabi ko na sana talaga lalo pa niyang paghusayan because she really has a beautiful voice.

"And for me, it was really worth the effort na nagpunta dun kasi regardless of guilt, kasi, di ba, huwag na nating pag-usapan yung guilt o hindi, kasi dapat respetuhin natin ang batas ng China. Pero pamilya silang nawalan ng minamahal nila and, ako talaga, I felt that since I had that wonderful opportunity na mapuntahan sila," seryosong paglalahad ni Kris

Dagdag pa niya, "Ginawan ko talaga ng paraan in my capacity as Kris. Kasi ang nakaka-surprise was that wala silang complaint how government handled it. Kasi tinanong ko, e, 'Meron ba kayong gustong ipaabot kay PNoy?' 'Wala po.'

Another Story:
"Kasi nung August pa lang, sumulat na siya sa China on their behalf, meron silang pina-bring up sa akin na about media and about yung privacy issues and all. But yun, napaabot ko naman sa mga boss ko. And gumaan ang pakiramdam ko dahil naramdaman ko naramdaman nilang merong nagmalasakit sa pinagdaanan nila."

Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Kris at matagal itong natulala nang sinabi namin sa kanya na may kumakalat na balitang si Beth Tamayo raw itong si Elizabeth Batain.

In Ogie Diaz' "Oh My G!" column at Pinoy Parazzi yesterday, April 4, the writer-manager-host doubted if the rumor is true. He mentioned that the Beth who is rumored to be dead might be the Elizabeth Batain who was sentenced to death in China some days back. To quote:

TINAWAGAN NAMIN ANG uncle niyang si Ramon Yuson, pero tila hindi na ‘yon ang kanyang number. Nagpalit na yata ang dating manager ni Mahal.

Gusto lang kasi naming linawin kay Ramon, dahil kumalat sa text at dalawa na rin ang nagtanong sa amin kung ang pamangkin niyang si Beth Tamayo ang isa sa tatlong binitay sa China dahil sa droga.

Sey ng aming kausap, “Baka ‘yung walang mukhang si Elizabeth Batain ‘yung si Beth, hindi kaya?”

Honestly, hindi kami naniniwala rito. Dahil knowing the media? Imposibleng makakawala sa kanila ang impormasyon kung ito man ay itinatago.

Lalo na at si Beth ay isang kilalang artista, ‘di ba? So, personally, hindi kami naniniwala rito.

And I’m sure, paglabas nito ay asahan na nating may official statement ang kampo ni Beth para pabulaanan ang katsipang kumakalat na text message na si Beth ang isa sa mga binitay.

Ipagdasal na lamang natin ang mga kaluluwa ng ating mga kababayang binitay, inosente man sila o guilty.

Mommy Mai says:

Information, inputs and stories are now presented. It is indeed yours to decide.

We personally don't believe in this.

Though it has been very intriguing and interesting, we shall stop sensationalizing this issue as it damages and ruins somebody else's reputation and disturbs his or her privacy. Entertainment is non-sense if it is done at the expense of other people.

Next Most-Awaited Scene: For this issue or rumor to die, Ms. Beth Tamayo has to show up to prove her message, only sent via E-mail, that she is very much alive and kicking. I know she doesn't have to prove to anyone her existence but for her peace of mind and to stop this commotion or hubbub, I think she has to show up and greet the whole world - Hello! :)

With such a very pretty face, Ms. Beth Tamayo is an icon in show business, a competitive and a very good actress. Most of us admire her beauty, elegance and simplicity. She smiles like an angel and seems to project as someone who has a big, humble and sincere heart. I hope she can always be tagged or talked about as who she really is and NOT as someone else, NOT even as Elizabeth Batain. Take care, Ms. Beth. GOD bless you and your family always!

To Ms. Elizabeth Batain, may your soul be blessed and rest in eternal peace with our Creator.

Would you mind sharing what you have in mind? We'd love to hear from you.

Thanks for dropping by!

See you again... soon! :-)
