On April 8, 2008 at around 11 a.m., I received a text message from an international cellular phone number. I was dumbfounded by how angry the sender was.

It reads (published as is): "Dear Nelson i am recived from my pr. For What do wraithed about me, Dear nelson if looking for trouble go sleep on the rail way bcz. Of the better than you being on my way. Untill today i am not did anythings to anyone bcz. Of the my kids leave over there i dont want make a dirty there. But now i change my mind please kindly be respect each other. I can undarstand u. U friend of ruffa and anabell but please kindly stop. I have a enogh targets over there remove on my way. Lets be respect each other ! I am not asking any favor with u. Do favor your self and be respect it is last warning! For you. You will see soon who ever not respect to me what will gonna hapened them tnx."

(Dear Nelson, I have received from my PR what you wrote about me. Dear Nelson, if you're looking for trouble go sleep on a railway because it's better than being on my way. Until today, I have not done anything to anyone because my kids live there and I don't want to do dirt over there. But now I have changed my mind. Please, we must kindly respect each other. I can understand you. You are a friend of Ruffa (Gutierrez) and Annabelle (Rama ), but please kindly stop. I have enough targets over there and I will remove them from my way. Let's respect each other! I am not asking you a favor. Do yourself a favor and be respectful. It is my last warning for you. You will see soon what will happen to those who do not respect me. Thanks.)

Reading from the text message, I suspected that it came from Ruffa's estranged husband, Yilmaz Bektas. Confused, I replied, also by text messaging: "Sir, I have stopped doing stories about you and your family for a long time now. "

I forwarded this message to my bosses at GMA News. I believe that matters like these should be resolved as a team. I also informed the key people at PEP (Philippine Entertainment Portal).

After that, I did not receive any text message from Mr. Bektas.

However, on the early morning of the following day, April 9, at around 8:05 a.m., I received another text message from the same phone number.

It read (published as is): "If you not friend of Annabelle or Ruffa are you fan Of those people? She lia to me? Or you lia to me? Lisent to me i am gonna mail to you post card and book about my family. You will gonna recive your credit card billing adress. do u think i dont have a any idea for what s going on? Not just in pep. Your other silly web sites too. Long time we are watching you all the ip numbers adress names. Nelson i can not say dont do for me good or bad this your business i fully respect .bcz of the this way you living Do your business but dont go to far. With notery and lawyer we send to pep good this about me , and also bad thinks with 8 difrent ip all good things about me eresed after few hours but good thing about me stay there. Like this small tricks can give to you big proplem."

(If you're not a friend of Annabelle or Ruffa, are you their fan? Is she lying to me? Or are you lying to me? Listen to me, I am going to mail you a postcard and a book about my family. You will receive it through your credit-card billing address. Do you think I don't have any idea of what's going on? Not just in PEP but your other silly websites, too. We have been watching (monitoring) all your IP and addresses for a long time now. Nelson, I cannot say that you do good or bad for me, this is your business, and I fully respect it because this is the way you live. Do your business but don't go too far. To my notary and lawyer, I send material of PEP, with 8 different IP addresses of good and bad things about me. After a few hours, only the good ones remained, and all bad things were erased. Small tricks like these can give you a big problem.)

I did not reply to this message because I didn't feel that I had to, but again I forwarded the message to my bosses.

Then after several hours, at 2:11 p.m., of the same day, I received a message from the same phone number. This time, the text message was more direct and accused me of certain things.

It read: "Dont f**k with me one more time! I cannot say dont writing about me just kindly ask me it is truth? Or not! I dont know what s your problem with me. From now on anything bad about me against to me or my family undar pep or difrent name. Nelson will be your end! I am respect your bussines be respect my family and i know your ruffa and firend of anabel receiving the money and gift we can stil survive our friend ship im not perfect but i know i am good friend nelson those people try to make all media againts to me only just this way can high dirty part of the this story."

(Don't f**k with me one more time! I cannot say don't write about me, but kindly ask me if it is true or not! I don't know what's your problem with me. From now on, anything bad against me or my family, under PEP or a different name, Nelson, it will be your end! I respect your business. Respect my family. I know you're a friend of Ruffa and Annabelle and you're receiving money and gifts from them. Our friendship can still survive. I'm not perfect, but I know I am a good friend, Nelson. Those people who are trying to turn media against me are taking part in creating dirty stories about me.)

At this point, I decided to consult the matter with the GMA Network Legal Department.

We agreed that we needed to first verify if it was Mr. Yilmaz Bektas who was sending the text messages.
