Singer Claire dela Fuente’s son Gregorio Angelo Rafael de Guzman is one of the suspects in the death of 23-year-old Christine Dacera. But Claire believes her son is innocent.
In an interview with Emil Sumangil on GMA News, Angelo said he was with the group that had a party at a hotel in Makati, which included flight attendants like Christine.
But he said it was the first time that met Christine and he was there because he also had flight attendant friends.
However, he allegedly went to bed early and the next morning he found out that something had happened to the victim.
They said they tried to save Dacera and he himself did CPR on the victim.
“Chineck ko ‘yung ilong niya, ginanu’n ko kung may air na lumalabas, wala. Tapos chineck ko kung may heartbeat siya, wala rin. Sabi ko Tin, Tin gising na, gising na, please? Tapos inumpisahan kong mag-CPR. Tapos sa isip ko, bakit ayaw niyang gumising?,” said Angelo.
“Malambot pa siya. Naalala ko nu’ng binuhat namin siya gamit ‘yung kamay niya, ‘yung arms niya palabas ng tub, warm pa siya. Kaya akala ko mase-save ko pa siya,” he said.
Contrary to reports that they left Christine, Angelo said they went to the hospital and even to the police station.
He also denied allegations of rape of the victim.

Claire dela Fuente believes son is innocent
“Absurd po. Paano naging rape, bakla po ako? Never po akong nakipagtalik sa babae, ever in my life,” he insisted.
Claire dela Fuente, on the other hand, believed what her son said because she even called him when he discovered what had happened to Christine.
“Wala ho kaming tinatago, and I believe my son kasi tinawagan niya ako noon eh, sabi niya ‘Ma may situation dito, parang patay na yata ‘yung girl dito,'” Claire dela Fuente said.
“Bakla ‘yung anak ko eh, ang hirap i-admit pero alam ko ‘yun matagal na, bata pa siya. Kaya lang nagpapakadisente siya,” the singe added.
Claire called for a fair investigation into what happened to Christine because they also want justice for the victim.
Of the 11 suspects in what happened to Christine, only three were arrested.
