Jason Ivler pleaded not guilty to the murder charge before the Quezon City Regional Trial Court today, February 16.

Ivler, who entered his "not guilty" plea before Branch 76 Presiding Judge Alexander S. Balut, was charged with the murder of Renato Ebarle Jr., son of a Malacañang official, last November in a road-rage killing incident.

NBI officials brought the 28-year-old former US military officer and nephew of folk artist Freddie Aguilar into the courtroom lying on a stretcher straight from Quirino Memorial Medical Center (QMMC), where he's recovering from gunshot wounds.

Ivler eluded police operatives for around three months before he was arrested in Marlene Aguilar's house on Jan. 18. The suspect sustained gunshot wounds when he attempted to shoot the NBI operatives who arrested him.

QMMC doctors said Ivler is strong enough to appear in trial, but added he cannot be transferred to a city jail yet because his wounds are not yet fully healed. Medical Specialist Romeo Abary told the press Ivler should stay in the hospital for another two to four weeks.

Judge Balut agreed to the medical specialists' findings. Private Prosecutor Romeo Alcantara, meanwhile, said they will file a motion to have Ivler's condition checked by specialists from their division.

The QC court set the next preliminary conference on February 25 and 26. The next pre-trial conference will be on March 2.

Ivler was accompanied by his mother Marlene Aguilar, his stepfather Stephen Pollard, and other relatives. Palace Undersecretary Renato Ebarle Sr.chose not to attend the hearing.

    starqueen, post 97, on State University, community college, and Ivy League. Mga taga U.S., pakidagdagan, dahil di ko alam ang community college. Iyong Worcester State College kung saan nag-aral si Marlene, is ranked by USNews as TIER 4. Public school sya. Pero hindi lahat ng public schools, college or universities ay mababa ang kalidad. Sa USNews Worlds Best Universities, may pumasok sa top 200 best universities of the world, na 26 public college or universities from the US. Daming Australian schools sa top 200 ha. Anyway, 19th ang U of Michigan, 32nd UCLA, 39th UC Berkley kung saan deferred lang ang enrollment ni JR Celski, 61st U of Wisconsin-Madison, 63rd U of Illinois Urbana-Champaign... Ang IVY League Schools, in alphabetical order and their world ranking: Brown-31, Columbia-11, Cornell-15, Dartmouth-85, Harvard-1, Princeton-8, U-Penn-12, Yale-3. Hindi pasok sa top 200 of th world,any of the U-Mass , kahit na ang U-Mass Amherst.

    Second the motion ako kay Puffin_12 post 124. Unika of 123, tinignan ko iyong kay JR Celski, half Pinoy, mom is Sue Sabado. Ang tindi ng dedication ng pamilya niya for him to attain his Olympic dream, they call it THE FAMILY PROJECT. Walang-wala si Jason Ivler sa kanya. May sports agent na si JR. Si Jason ang agent na meron siya, NBI agent. Tinignan ko ang website ni Celski. Si Ohno, kasing edad ni Jason, pero bumagsak lang sa lap ni Ohno ang showbiz opportunities, at pinagkakitaan talaga. Si Jason,ginamit kahit ginamit ang pangalan ni Freddie Aguilar, walang nangyari sa showbiz career. 122.starqueen, LOL on chalk and cheese comparison. Si Marlene pinagyabang niya na inalok rin siya ng modelling career, at may showibz career rin siya, two films, siguro nag-open lang sa dalawang sinehan. Iyong modeling, inalok siyang magpose na PENTHOUSE. LOL. Hindi siya umubra sa Playboy, pangbaboy na Penthouse lang siya. LOL. Hindi naman daw niya tinanggap ang magpose ng nude for Penthouse.

    Ibang iba naman ang background ng mga anak ni Bessie Badilla and the late Bambi Castillo. Bessie's late husband was the real deal in financial wizardry.
    Kaya naman their kids are schooled in the very best and it shows naman.

    Marlene - her background and upbringing is nowhere close to what Bessie's family had. Its like comparing chalk and cheese.

    Welcome back. Lahat naman ata pinagtataguan nitong si Jason. And lahat ata gagawin ng nanay niya para kunsintihin ang batang ito.

    People like Jason is someone the future does not need.

    A BULANtines Day!
    to see pictures of interior of Bulan Restaurant of Marlene Aguilar. I will bet my bottom PISO, na many of the imported antiques in there, came into the Philippines, tax free, because Marlene abused the privelege of the DIPLOMATIC status of her husband Steve Pollard. All the imported items brought in the Philippines tax free, are then sold to the public.

    Marlene Aguilars Pain Not Pieta

    xxx My most sincere condolences to the families of Jul Luna, Tanya Domingo, and Ian Dorado. Even in their pain, I am certain that their parents must be proud of them. Jul, Tanya, and Ian LIVED FOR A CAUSE GREATER THAN THEMSELVES AND DIED DEFENDING IT. They saw beyong themselves and their own young ambitions and FOUGHT FOR THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS SO THEY COULD DREAM FREELY and one day embrace the realizations of these dreams. Silang mga dakilang kabataan, tunmay na huwaran. Silang mga rebolusyonaryo, hanggang kamatayan. The contrast between Jul, Tanya, Ian and Jason Ivler can not be more stark. Jul became a member of the NPA and in her hands, the gun was a weapon of liberation and a symbol of a people fighting for freedom and justice. In Jason Ivlers hands, the gun was an instrument of MURDER, cold metal mereley- a weapon of death that was senseless.

    Marlene Aguilars Antics And Jason Ivlers Non-repentance

    This is quite obvious and I hope that my colleagues in the media already noticed it. Marlene Aguilar, mother of road rage suspect Jason Ivler, IS ON A MEDIA BLITZ, trying to shore up support behind her son and negate all those negative stories and impressions against him. Marlene Aguilar is using te PUBLIC SPHERE to confuse and befuddle the public mind. She is, actually toying with us and trying to influence us into thinking that his son, jason Ivler is not responsible for killing two motorists.
    Brad_Peet says, to some Marlene succeeded. To many others, she did not. Marlene, you can't fool all the people, all the time.

    cont fr. 115. Why Marlene Aguilar is Crazy:
    6. Marlene lost the true sense of motherhood. She blurred her responsibility and authority as a parent. SHE MADE A MOCKERY OF ALL MOTHERS IN THE PHILIPPINES.

    I am sure that there will be more instances where Marlene Aguilar will show her craziness. you go look for it because I do notwant to see her in our TV anymore. One crazy event, called 2010 Elections, is one thing enough to make my mind go fuzzy......

    3. She reacted in Ces Drilons reading of her CONTROVERSIAL-kuno na book. Ces did not find anythign controversial in ehr book. However, Marlene Aguilar claimed that NORMAL POEPLE like Ces Drilon is not capable to read a book of a genius. So Ces Drilon is BO-BO, d-u-m-b, and Marlene is super genius.
    4. Marlene said that Zaldy Ampatuan, the prime suspect in Maguindanao Massacre, is the nicest pereson in the world.
    5. Marlene finds conspiracy in every turn. She accused her British bodyguard as a CIA agent adn the one who framed his son Ivler. She quipped that her bodyguard and Ivler are both bald, white-skinned and almost have the same built. Ergo, The British guy killed Ebarle, Jr.

    Unika and for all others who say that Marlene is LUKA-LUKA:

    Why Marlene Aguilar is Crazy, posted by Ishmael Fischer Ahab, Jan. 27, 2010-
    xxx Marlene stressed that she is not crazy but a genius. A woman with intellect far above the normal people. But then again, a crazy person does not know that she is crazy. Here is some of the reason why she is crazy:
    1. She keeps on inventing CONSPIRACY THEORIES to distract attention to her sons criminal actions. She said that the American Govt and the Phil. Govt conspired to frame her son as revenge to what she had written in the her book, Warriors in Heaven.
    2. She accused the American Govt of framing her son but asked the US Embassy to take care of the American citizen Ivler and take him away fr Phil Govts custody. IS SHE ASKING HER ENEMY TO TAKE CARE OF HER SON?

    Paunang salita: I do not necessarily subscribe to the comments in posts 109 to 112. Para naman hindi masabing hindi CLOSED MINDED ang mga Pinoy, we will allow people to have their own spiritual beliefs. Freedom of religion, ika nga. Ang hindi lang pwede ay to create their own facts, right cartridge?

    cont fr. 111:
    Sabi rin ng taong ito: I was told that Marlene Aguilar loves antiques and taht in fact her door was from old church orh ouse. This could have contributed to the negative things that are happening to them bec. antiques carried a lot of negative CHI unless we conduct a cleansing ritual to it. Furthermore, I also heard in the news that Jason Ivler's bdrm is in the basement of their house, and in Feng Shui this is really bad place. Basemenet is usually devoid of positive chi unless specifically cured with Feng Shui.

    con't from 110.
    TI or EARTHs Luck is Feng Shui. This is something that is within our control. This include our time of birth, name, place we live-in and even colors we life. Lastly, REN or MANs LUCK is thte things we do with our life. It is the karma we make for ourselves. Thsi is something thats within our control. NO MATTER HOW MUCH WE BELIEVE IN FENG SHUI, it is useless if we dont work, or if we continue to engage in ngeative things and earn negative karma.
