The 19-year-old, the biological daughter of Jessica Rodriguez and the adoptive daughter of David Bunevacz, was reacting to the spate of news involving her parents and the beauty clinic they were part of. Rachel is a writer who had interviewed Hayca in September 2007 through webcam.
"Since they do not want to talk, I will," Hayca writes in her impassioned 11-paragraph email, which Rachel Malaguit says is from California, where Hayca currently lives and where she is studying (Southwestern College).
She asks the President of the Philippines, Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, "who is my parents Godmother," to provide security for her parents, who were in the news after David figured in a reported abduction, where he claims to have been manhandled by persons he still has yet to name.
Hayca's letter comes in the wake of news that David and Jessica have filed a complaint of "physical injuries" with the National Bureau of Investigation against four investors of Beverly Hills 6750.
It will be recalled that the story of David and Jessica's falling out with the beauty clinic was first made public by the Philippine Entertainment Portal (PEP) last December 13.
DAUGHTER'S DEFENSE. Hayca Rodriguez Bunevacz's email follows in full, with her consent:
"I read an article from the PEP website that a friend of mine insisted for me to read. Although I knew everything that has been happening, plus the rumors that has been laid out, it still hurts me inside that people, especially those who have been close to my family for a long time, are accusing my dad and my mom of something that they will never do.
"I believe that what triggered those people to do such horrible thing is jealousy. Of what? They accuse my dad because of money, of having a brand new luxury car, and of a life that has exceeded everybody's expectations. Ever since my dad and my mom got married, they have been living that same life, and not when Beverly Hills came into the picture. We have these things because my parents, especially my dad EARNED it. He works extra hard to provide for us every single day. He had some sleepless nights because of stress; he had down times because of stress. So, every time he becomes freed from that stress, he treats himself and us too of a well done job. That is how he is. He believes that someone only can earn something if that person works hard for it. That is what I will remember most from him. I say this because I see it in him every time he comes home from work, and I hear it in his voice. Besides dad, my mom is also a living example of that.
