In Loving Memory of JOMALÉN INDONILLA MOLETA
JOMALÉN was light itself—gentle, humble, and endlessly giving. She carried warmth in her smile and quiet strength in everything she did. Her compassion reached far beyond her own circle, offering kindness, comfort, and encouragement to everyone whose life she touched.
She was a university graduate with a degree in Business Administration, a hardworking professional, a devoted daughter, and the primary financial provider for her family. She quietly carried responsibilities that many never saw, always placing the needs of others before her own. Her humility, loyalty, generosity, and unwavering work ethic earned the respect and affection of everyone fortunate enough to know her.
She was deeply loved by her fiancé, Gregory, who saw in her not just a partner, but his best friend, his greatest love, and the person with whom he wanted to spend the rest of his life. From the moment they met in 2017, their lives became intertwined through love, trust, and unwavering commitment.
Together they built a future filled with hope and shared purpose. They lived together in the Philippines, planned their life in Australia, purchased land, and together designed and built their home in Banban, Negros Oriental—a home that Gregory paid for, that he and JOMALÉN designed together, and whose construction JOMALÉN personally coordinated. Together they looked forward to beginning the next chapter of their lives as husband and wife, both in Australia and the Philippines. Every dream they shared brought them closer to the future they hoped to grow old together.
Everything changed in March and April 2023.
When JOMALÉN became seriously ill with pneumonia and complications requiring urgent medical care, she was entrusted to people who were responsible for her care. During those critical days, Gregory was torn between caring for his critically ill mother in Australia and his desperate wish to be at JOMALÉN's bedside. Gregory's mother passed away just 60 days after JOMALÉN's death.
According to Gregory's account, during a video call on 30 March 2023, JOMALÉN told him that her sister, Nelpa Indonilla Moleta, wanted to take her out of hospital because she no longer wished to care for her there. Gregory says he immediately asked what the treating doctor had advised and was told that the doctor had strongly recommended that JOMALÉN remain in hospital. Gregory states that he strongly objected and repeatedly insisted that JOMALÉN was not to leave hospital and should continue receiving medical treatment. Despite those objections, JOMALÉN left hospital that day. Gregory believes that this marked the turning point in her illness.
Over the months and years that followed, Gregory gathered medical records, financial records, messages, witness accounts, family interviews, photographs, and official documents. As more information emerged, his understanding of JOMALÉN's final days changed significantly.
According to the evidence presented throughout this website, Gregory believes JOMALÉN was subsequently denied the continuing medical treatment she urgently required and that decisions were instead made to transport her in search of a traditional healer based on the belief that her illness had a supernatural cause. He believes those decisions deprived JOMALÉN of the continuing medical care that offered her the best opportunity for recovery.
This website also documents information that Gregory says was not disclosed to him at the time and only came to light over the following two and a half years through witness interviews, family conversations, financial records, messages, photographs, medical information, and other documentary evidence. Those later discoveries fundamentally changed his understanding of what occurred during JOMALÉN's final days.
This website exists to honour JOMALÉN's life and to preserve a factual record of her illness, her passing, and the evidence that has since emerged. It is motivated by love, truth, and the belief that her story deserves to be told honestly, respectfully, and with compassion.
Throughout these pages, visitors can follow the chronological account of JOMALÉN's life, her final illness, and the events that followed, while examining the supporting photographs, timelines, financial records, witness interviews, medical information, messages, and other documentary evidence alongside the story itself.
Above all, this website is about JOMALÉN.
It is about a woman who loved deeply, gave generously, worked tirelessly for those around her, and deserved every opportunity to recover, every chance to receive proper medical care, and every possibility of living the future that she and Gregory had planned together.
Her story will not be forgotten.
Her life will be remembered with love, dignity, and honour.
Her story will continue to be told through the evidence, the facts, and the memories of those who loved her.
The life, love, final illness, and legacy of JOMALÉN INDONILLA MOLETA
JOMALÉN INDONILLA MOLETA was not simply a name on a death certificate.
She was a daughter, attended university, hardworking, and the person Gregory planned to spend the rest of his life with.
Those who knew JOMALÉN remember her as gentle, humble, intelligent, and quietly strong. She did not seek attention or recognition. Instead, she devoted herself to the people she loved, often placing their needs before her own. She became the primary financial provider for her family, giving freely and asking for very little in return.
Gregory met JOMALÉN in 2017. Their relationship quickly grew into a deep partnership built on trust, respect, and shared goals. They lived together in the Philippines, travelled together, attended concerts together, and built a life based on friendship as much as love.
Together they purchased land in Banban, Negros Oriental, and designed the home they planned to share. Gregory funded the project, while JOMALÉN coordinated the construction, carefully overseeing every stage of the build. The house represented far more than bricks and concrete. It represented the future they were creating together.
By early 2023, they were planning the next chapter of their lives as husband and wife, with a future that would be shared between Australia and the Philippines.
Neither of them could have imagined how quickly those plans would be taken from them.
Setting the Record Straight
A Chronological Account of the Life, Illness, Death, and Aftermath of
This document consolidates the information provided by Gregory concerning the life and death of his fiancée, Jomalén Indonilla Moleta, together with the information visible on her Certificate of Death and the Messenger screenshots retained by Gregory.
It distinguishes between:
facts recorded in official documents;
events Gregory says he directly witnessed or discussed with Jomalén;
information later provided by family members and other witnesses;
allegations that require bank, hospital, transport, and communications records;
conclusions that remain for medical experts, investigators, prosecutors, and the courts.
The Certificate of Death confirms that Jomalén was recorded as dead on arrival.
Jomalén Indonilla Moleta was born on 27 December 1986. She was educated, intelligent, organised, emotionally mature, and highly capable. Jomalen studied Business Administration in Manila.
She was quiet but strong. She did not need to dominate a room to be respected. Her strength came from competence, dignity, discipline, and the way she cared for others.
Her friends loved her because she was loyal, genuine, dependable, and kind. She was not somebody who only spoke about helping people. She worked, provided, solved problems, and accepted responsibility.
Within the Moleta family, Jomalén was not merely another daughter or sister. Gregory describes her as the family’s principal provider and breadwinner. She worked away from home and repeatedly used her own income, energy, and opportunities to help her parents and siblings.
She was also Gregory’s fiancée.
Their relationship was built on calmness, trust, emotional maturity, shared values, and unconditional love. Jomalén gave Gregory a sense of peace and safety. They were not simply planning a wedding. They were planning an entire life: marriage, children, a home, and a future divided between the Philippines and Australia.
They lived together in Manila, cooked together, walked together, listened to music, played games, laughed, and shared an ordinary daily life that meant everything to them. Gregory played guitar, Jomalén loved to sing, and they were happiest simply being together.
2015 — Nelpa and the Manila sari-sari store
In 2015, Jomalén operated a sari-sari or convenience store in Manila while also working full-time in security.
Her sister, Nelpa Indonilla Moleta, was placed in a position of trust in the store while Jomalén worked.
Jomalén later conducted a stocktake. According to what Jomalén directly told Gregory, more than ₱50,000 worth of stock was missing. Jomalén concluded that Nelpa had sold the stock and retained the money instead of accounting for it.
The loss was serious enough that Jomalén stopped speaking to Nelpa for years. When Gregory met Jomalén in 2017, Jomalén and Nelpa were still estranged.
This incident is relevant because it predates the events of 2023 by approximately eight years. It forms part of Gregory’s allegation that the later financial losses were not isolated or unexpected, but consistent with an earlier pattern involving trust, stock, money, and Nelpa.
2019–2022 — the land and the home in Banban
In June 2019, Gregory purchased land in Banban, Negros Oriental, for approximately ₱50,000. He and Jomalén designed a home together.
During the COVID period, Jomalén coordinated the construction. Gregory provided the funding, while Jomalén managed the builders, materials, schedules, decisions, and practical details.
Gregory told her:
“Don’t just build a house. Build us a home.”
That is what she did.
The house was substantially completed by approximately February 2022. It was intended to be a place for Gregory and Jomalén to live together.
The work demonstrated Jomalén’s ability, leadership, and integrity. She managed a major project through the disruption of COVID while Gregory was in Australia during Covid.
September 2022 — plans for Australia and money entrusted for the future
Gregory returned to the Philippines after the COVID restrictions and spent time with Jomalén at the home they had built.
They discussed ending the long periods of separation and beginning their life together in Australia.
Jomalén’s tourist visa was approved in January 2023. She was preparing to travel to Australia and was completing the final clearances and paperwork required for that journey.
Gregory had provided substantial funds for Jomalén’s future, travel, medical needs, and security.
Different drafts and recollections contain different figures concerning the cash and deposits made between August 2022 and April 2023. The working records include references to:
₱300,000 BPI deposit in August 2022;
₱150,000 additional cash supplied during the September 2022 visit;
₱70,000 provided on 30 March 2023;
₱10,000 provided around 4 April 2023;
₱225,000 provided after Jomalén’s death on 11 April 2023 to ensure that her body could be returned home.
Gregory’s current allegation is that more than ₱650,000 was ultimately unaccounted for or taken. Earlier working estimates referred to approximately ₱550,000. The final figure should be presented only after a formal reconciliation.
By the middle of March 2023, Jomalén was unwell and staying with her friend Caloocan.
Jomalen's friend wanted Jomalén to take Jomalen to a hospital immediately. Jomalén declined because she did not want her friend to take time off work and remain with her in hospital.
Jomalén instead wanted Nelpa to collect Jomalen take her to Makati medical Centre or Saint Lukes Hospital but Nelpa not take Jomalen to a hospital, Nelpa to her to her tiny house in Tanza Caviti.
On 15 March 2023, Nelpa collected Jomalén from Jomalens friend.
According to Gregory:
Jomalens friend told Nelpa to take Jomalén directly to a major hospital;
Jomalens friend specifically referred to St. Luke’s or Makati Medical Center;
Gregory also instructed Nelpa to take Jomalén to St. Luke’s or Makati Medical Center;
Nelpa indicated that Jomalén would be taken to a hospital in Cavite.
Despite those instructions, Gregory states that Jomalén was not admitted to hospital until 25 March 2023, after her condition had deteriorated severely.
That delay requires explanation.
25 March 2023 — hospital admission
On 25 March 2023, Jomalén was admitted to a private hospital in Cavite.
She had pneumonia and bilateral pleural effusion—fluid accumulating around the lungs. She was having serious difficulty breathing.
The illness was severe, but she was alive, receiving oxygen, antibiotics, monitoring, and hospital care.
25 March 2023 — thoracentesis and improvement
On 25 March 2023, doctors performed a thoracentesis and removed approximately 800 millilitres to one litre of fluid from Jomalén’s lungs. Given antibiotic's and put on Oxygen treatment
Following the drainage and hospital treatment, Gregory says Jomalén improved significantly.
Between 26 and 30 March, Gregory spoke with her daily, sometimes twice a day, through video calls. He saw that:
her breathing had improved;
she was more comfortable;
her voice was stronger;
she appeared not only stable but improving significantly;
the hospital treatment was helping her and Jomalen was well on the way to recovery
This improvement is important. It does not prove that survival was guaranteed, but it contradicts any suggestion that death was already unavoidable while she remained under treatment.
30 March 2023 — the first removal from hospital
On 30 March 2023, during a video conversation, Jomalén told Gregory that Nelpa wanted to take her out of the hospital.
Gregory asked Jomalén why.
Jomalén replied that Nelpa did not want to remain in the hospital any longer to look after her.
Gregory then asked the critical question:
“What did the doctor say?”
According to Jomalén, the doctor strongly advised that she remain in hospital and not leave.
Gregory told Jomalén:
“You are not leaving the hospital.”
He also told Nelpa:
“Do not take Jomalén out of the hospital.”
Despite the doctor’s advice and Gregory’s objections, Jomalén was removed from hospital by Nelpa Indonilla Moleta.
30 March–3 April 2023 — deterioration outside hospital care
After leaving hospital, Jomalén was taken to the residence associated with Nelpa:
Purok 1, Brgy. Bunga, Tanza, Cavite, Philippines.
That is the residence recorded on Jomalén’s Certificate of Death.
Gregory remained in daily contact and repeatedly urged that Jomalén be returned to hospital.
On 3 April 2023, Nelpa messaged Gregory and stated that Jomalén was deteriorating.
Gregory gave a direct instruction: take Jomalén immediately to Makati Medical Center or St. Luke’s in Manila.
According to Gregory, that instruction was not followed on 3 April.
That same day, believing Jomalén would require hospital care and an proper care by Jomalen's mother beside her, Gregory arranged for Jomalén’s mother to fly urgently from Dumaguete to Manila.
Why Gregory was not physically present
Gregory was in Australia caring for his critically ill 94-year-old mother.
His mother had suffered a stroke in 2020 and had become increasingly unwell. Gregory says he was the only person providing the level of care she required and could not simply leave her alone.
Gregory was therefore trapped between two people he loved:
He could not be in both countries.
His absence from the Philippines was not abandonment. He remained involved through calls and messages, supplied money, instructed that Jomalén be taken to major hospitals, and arranged for Jomalén’s mother to travel urgently to Manila.
Gregory’s mother died on 9 June 2023, exactly 63 days after Jomalén’s death.
4 April 2023 — Jomalén’s mother arrives
Jomalén’s mother arrived in Manila on 4 April 2023, reportedly at approximately 7:15–7:30 p.m.
Nelpa Indonilla Moleta did not put Jomalen back into hospital until late in the evening of the 4 th of April. Only hours bebofe Jomalens mother arrived at the hospital.
Gregory maintains that his instruction to place Jomalén in Makati Medical Center or St. Luke’s was not followed. The mother’s later account indicates that she eventually saw Jomalén in a hospital in Cavite late on 4 April.
According to the mother’s later account, when she saw Jomalén, Jomalén was in a desperate condition. She was frightened, distressed, crying, and repeatedly asking:
“Where’s Gregory? Where’s Gregory? Where’s Gregory?”
Gregory understands that septic shock had taken hold or was developing.
Those words continue to affect him profoundly. They were the cries of a terrified woman asking for the person she trusted most.
5 April 2023 — the second removal and the journey toward a healer
According to the mother’s later account, Jomalén was again removed from hospital in the early hours of the morning (5 April 2023) because Jomalens own mother believed a Barang had been placed on Jomalen. Jomalens own mother took Jomalen away from medical help, life saving help that would have saved Jomalen and undo what NELPA INDONILLA MOLETA did by taking Jomalen out of the hospital on the 30th of March 2023 when Jomalen was recovering. Jomalen was in a state when Jomalen could not think clear as Septic shock had set in and Jomalens mother, Gregory sent you to take care of Jomalen and keep Jomalen on the hospital. When time was critical but you took Jomalen away from hospital and Jomalen is now dead because you denied Jomalen medical care. You delayed medicl care until jomalen died and then took her back to a hospital after Jomalen died in the back of a Barangay vehicle.
The mother reportedly said that she did not sign the waiver. She stated that Nelpa signed it.
Jomalén was critically unwell, dependent on oxygen, and reportedly still required antibiotics and medical supervision.
Instead of remaining in hospital or being transferred to another properly equipped hospital, she was placed in a barangay vehicle for a long journey to see a traditional healer in or near Cabanatuan, Nueva Ecija.
The later account describes departure at approximately 6–7 p.m. and arrival the following morning at approximately 6–7 a.m.—an overnight journey of around 13 hours.
Some versions describe this as driving for 13 hours “looking for” a healer. The exact route, stops, departure time, arrival time, and destination must be reconstructed.
The people reportedly in the vehicle included:
Jomalén;
Nelpa;
Joel Pandong;
Jomalén’s mother;
the driver.
5 other passengers
It was reportedly a barangay vehicle, not an ambulance. There was no identified doctor, nurse, paramedic, or trained medical attendant.
The healer and Jomalén’s collapse
According to the mother’s account, when the group reached the healer, the healer assessed Jomalén from the vehicle and stated that there was nothing that could be done.
Jomalén was reportedly given lugaw/Porridge and milk.
She then raised her hands, cried out:
“Mama!”
and collapsed.
Only then was she taken to a hospital.
If establishes that a critically ill patient was transported overnight away from conventional medical care, taken to a non-medical healer, and returned to hospital only after collapse.
This is what Jomalens mother who was with Jomalen during this whole tragic and painful ordeal for Jomalen has stated directly to Gregorys Lawyer
6 April 2023 — the official Certificate of Death
Jomalén’s official Certificate of Death records:
Name: JOMALEN INDONILLA MOLETA
Date of birth: 28 December 1986
Age: 36
Date of death: 6 April 2023
Time recorded: 8:45 a.m.
Residence: Purok 1, Brgy. Bunga, Tanza, Cavite, Philippines
Place of death:
“DEAD ON ARRIVAL – NUEVA ECIJA DOCTORS HOSPITAL INC., CABANATUAN CITY, NUEVA ECIJA”
Immediate cause: Acute Respiratory Failure
Antecedent cause: Septic Shock
Underlying cause: Pneumonia High Risk
Other significant condition: Bilateral Pleural Effusion Status Post Thoracentesis
Informant: Nelpa I. Moleta — Sister
Father: Manuel Abrasado Moleta
Mother: Dionada Catacutan Indonilla
The certificate therefore establishes that Jomalén was recorded as dead on arrival at Nueva Ecija Doctors Hospital Inc.
It does not establish the precise moment or location of her death. It raises the necessity of obtaining:
the receiving hospital’s emergency record;
the triage sheet;
the exact arrival time;
any resuscitation record;
the physician’s notes;
statements from every person in the vehicle;
the complete travel timeline.
Medical analysis and causation
Jomalén had a serious but treated condition: pneumonia with fluid buildup around her lungs (bilateral pleural effusion)
The drainage of fluid around Jomalen's lungs(thoracentesis) removed a substantial quantity of fluid. Gregory observed improvement while she was receiving oxygen, antibiotics, monitoring, and hospital care.
Removal from hospital did not automatically cause her death, and the final medical conclusion must be made by qualified experts after reviewing the full clinical record.
However, the known sequence raises serious concerns:
She had a dangerous lung infection.
She required thoracentesis.
She improved under treatment.
The doctor reportedly strongly advised that she remain hospitalised.
She was removed.
She deteriorated.
Gregory directed immediate hospital escalation.
She was not taken to the hospitals he specified.
She was later removed again while critically ill.
She was transported overnight in a non-ambulance vehicle toward a healer.
She collapsed.
She was recorded as dead on arrival at a hospital more than four hours from the residence listed on her death certificate.
Gregory’s position is that Jomalén’s death was preventable and resulted from deliberate wrongdoing or gross neglect.
The final legal characterisation—whether negligence, reckless conduct, homicide, or another offence—must be determined from admissible evidence and Philippine law.
Nelpa’s household and Joel Pandong
Jomalén had repeatedly raised concerns about the household of Nelpa and Nelpa’s boyfriend, Joel Pandong.
According to what Jomalén told Gregory:
Joel did not provide properly for Nelpa and the children;
there was often insufficient food in the home;
the home was poorly maintained and dirty;
Jomalén repeatedly argued with Joel about his responsibility to provide for his family;
Jomalén sometimes returned with lice after spending time with the children.
Gregory regards this as relevant background. Jomalén was educated, independent, capable, and building a stable future with Gregory. Nelpa was living in a financially strained household with three children and a partner whom Jomalén repeatedly criticised for failing to provide.
This does not, by itself, prove a motive or criminal involvement. It does, however, identify a household environment, financial pressure, existing resentment, and individuals whose knowledge and conduct during Jomalén’s final weeks require examination.
Joel Pandong’s role should therefore be established through evidence:
what he knew about Jomalén’s condition;
whether he participated in the hospital removals or transport decisions;
whether he was present during the final journey;
what he witnessed;
what he did or failed to do;
whether he benefited financially.
2021–2022 — Nelda and the Ayungon store
During 2021–2022, Jomalén also tried to assist another sister, Nelda Indonilla Moleta Panerio.
Gregory provided approximately ₱30,000 to ₱35,000, which Jomalén invested in stock for Nelda’s sari-sari store in Ayungon.
According to Jomalén’s direct account to Gregory, she later discovered that most of the stock purchased with her money was gone and the money had not been returned. Jomalén concluded that Nelda had sold the stock and retained the proceeds.
Jomalén regarded this as another betrayal.
Gregory later asked Nelda’s husband, Jimson, whether he knew about the money or stock taken from Jomalén. According to Gregory, Jimson answered “yes” in a saved message. Gregory’s position is that Jimson knew what had happened but did nothing to return the money or correct the situation.
Jomalén subsequently described Nelda to Gregory as:
“Fake, plastic, and a pretender.”
The dispute remained unresolved.
This became significant when Jomalén later became ill. Gregory proposed flying Jomalén’s mother and Nelda from Dumaguete to Manila to retrieve Jomalén and return her to Dumaguete for hospital care. Jomalén rejected the plan because Nelda would be involved.
Gregory’s position is that Jomalén did not irrationally reject assistance. She rejected assistance from a person she no longer trusted because of an unresolved financial betrayal.
2017–2019 — Gregory and Jomalén build a life together
Gregory met Jomalén in 2017.
Their relationship grew into a committed partnership. Jomalén was not dependent or incapable. She was educated, practical, and accustomed to managing responsibilities. Gregory respected her intelligence and trusted her judgment.
They later lived together in Manila for approximately nine months. Their relationship was peaceful and deeply connected. Gregory did not merely love Jomalén; he trusted her with his future.
On 11 December 2019, Gregory and Jomalén attended the U2 concert at the Philippine Arena on Gregory’s birthday. It was Jomalén’s first major international concert.
The song “All I Want Is You” became permanently associated with Jomalén for Gregory. The concert represented the happiness they shared before illness, conflict, financial disputes, and death became part of their story.
Financial conduct immediately after Jomalén’s death
Gregory says that after Jomalén died, he repeatedly requested:
official hospital invoices;
official medical receipts;
funeral invoices;
mortuary records;
transport records;
quotations or receipts for returning Jomalén’s body to Dumaguete;
a complete accounting of the money in Jomalén’s account.
He says none of this was properly supplied.
Instead, he received handwritten figures and images of notes written on scraps of paper.
Mary reportedly told Nelpa after Jomalén’s death to send Gregory all invoices and receipts. Gregory says this still did not happen.
The lack of documentation is central because substantial money had already been provided and further money continued to be requested.
The engagement ring and laptop
Jomalén’s replacement engagement ring was a gold family heirloom.
Gregory’s father had originally given the ring to Gregory’s mother. Gregory’s mother later gave it to Gregory so that he could give it to Jomalén.
After Jomalén’s death, the ring was pawned.
Gregory learned about the pawning through a family member. Jomalén’s mother intervened and forced the ring to be retrieved and returned.
Gregory also says that Nelpa attempted to obtain further money from him while using Jomalén’s mother and administrative paperwork as the stated reason.
A laptop belonging to Jomalén was also initially withheld. Nelpa reportedly said her children needed it for school. Jomalén’s mother again intervened and required that it be returned.
These incidents are relevant to the alleged post-death pattern involving Jomalén’s property.
31 May 2023 — Messenger request for a further ₱20,000
Gregory retained Messenger screenshots from a conversation with Nelpa after Jomalén’s death.
In the exchange, Nelpa begins by asking Gregory for help. She asks to borrow ₱20,000 and refers to:
Nelpa tells Gregory that she is ashamed to ask because he has already helped the family greatly. She promises that the money will be returned after the paperwork is completed.
No official government letter, fee schedule, PSA receipt, application number, quotation, or other supporting document appears in the screenshots.
In the same general exchange, Nelpa refers to an earlier proposed house transaction and says the amount paid by Jomalén was “more 200 thousand.”
Gregory disputes that figure.
His account is that he and Jomalén had considered purchasing another house, but abandoned the plan after their Banban home was completed. The amount lost when the transaction was cancelled was approximately ₱120,000, not more than ₱200,000.
Gregory therefore interprets the May 2023 messages as a further attempt to obtain money using:
vague claims of government requirements;
references to Jomalén’s mother;
guilt;
a promise of repayment;
an inflated or inaccurate house-payment narrative;
no documentary proof.
The screenshots do not, by themselves, prove fraud. They do provide evidence of a post-death request for ₱20,000 supported only by inconsistent explanations and emotional pressure.
Proposed exhibit description
Exhibit — Messenger Messages: Post-Death Request for Funds, 31 May 2023
This exhibit contains screenshots of a Messenger exchange between Gregory and Nelpa in which Nelpa requests to borrow ₱20,000, claiming it is needed for PSA documentation, a birth certificate, a marriage contract, and government benefits. Nelpa states she is ashamed to ask because Gregory has helped the family extensively and promises repayment. No official supporting documentation is shown. The same conversation includes statements concerning a separate cancelled house transaction and an amount described as more than ₱200,000, which Gregory disputes as inconsistent with the approximate ₱120,000 actually lost.
9 June 2023 — Gregory’s mother dies
On 9 June 2023, Gregory’s mother died.
Her death occurred 63 days after Jomalén’s.
Gregory was therefore grieving two devastating losses at the same time:
This explains both why he could not immediately travel and why it took months before he was emotionally capable of returning to the Philippines.
December 2023 — Gregory returns to Banban
Gregory arrived at the home in Banban on approximately 3 December 2023.
He visited Jomalén’s grave every day during the approximately two weeks he remained there.
He had originally intended to remain through Christmas and Jomalén’s birthday on 27 December. Instead, he left on approximately 16 December because he could no longer remain in the house.
According to Gregory, the house he and Jomalén had built as a home had been turned into a communal gathering place and storage area.
He observed:
rice and goods stored inside;
rats entering the house;
ants and poor cleanliness;
beer and rum bottles scattered outside;
people coming and going;
drinking around the property;
a general failure to preserve the home as Jomalén had maintained it.
Gregory regarded the condition of the house as a desecration of something he and Jomalén had created together.
Jomalén’s parents and brothers
Gregory does not place responsibility for Jomalén’s death on her parents.
He describes Jomalén’s mother as a frightened, grieving woman who arrived late in the crisis and was dependent on Nelpa and others for transport, information, and decisions. Her evidence remains important, but it should be obtained independently and carefully.
Gregory describes Jomalén’s father as a good, humble, honest man whom he respected deeply. father later died, reportedly in February 2024.
Jomalén’s four brothers are remembered by Gregory as respectful and helpful towards Jomalen. Gregory believes that had the brothers been present during the medical crisis, they would have insisted that Jomalén remain in hospital.
January–March 2024 — conflict concerning the home
After Gregory’s December visit, he learned that work was being discussed or arranged at the house without his permission.
He says Nelda became aggressive when questioned and used language such as:
“Bring it on.”
Gregory confronted Nelda about the earlier store stock and money. According to Gregory, Nelda dismissed the matter as none of his business, even though the original money had come from him.
Jimson later sent Gregory an apology concerning Nelda’s behaviour.
Gregory also learned that Nelda was allegedly telling people that she owned or had paid for the house. Gregory rejects that claim. His position is that he funded the land, construction, and furnishings, while Jomalén coordinated the project.
Legal questions have also arisen about whether part of the structure was built too close to the road or on land under barangay or public control. These matters require examination of land records, surveys, title documents, tax declarations, building permissions, and correspondence from the local government.
Gregory has considered whether the house could eventually be used for a community purpose—such as a health centre, school, daycare facility, or memorial project—in Jomalén’s name.
Information concealed from Gregory
Gregory says that during his December 2023 visit, the family did not tell him the full circumstances surrounding:
Jomalén’s removal from hospital;
the waiver;
the journey to the healer;
the long overnight transport;
the location and timing of her collapse;
the significance of the death certificate;
who made each decision.
He says he only learned much of this later through legal inquiries and interviews conducted in late 2025 and 2026.
That delay explains why the events remain emotionally immediate to him despite having occurred in 2023.
Gregory has retained legal assistance in the Philippines.
His position is that the full truth must be established through:
complete hospital records;
discharge and waiver documents;
medical expert analysis;
bank records;
transport records;
Messenger and telephone records;
sworn witness statements;
the receiving hospital’s dead-on-arrival records;
records from any healer or location visited;
statements from Nelpa Indonilla Moleta, Joel Pandong, the driver, Jomalén’s mother and medical staff.
Gregory alleges that the person or persons responsible for Jomalén’s death—whether through deliberate wrongdoing, reckless conduct, or gross neglect—must be held accountable under Philippine law.
He also seeks accountability for the alleged theft or misappropriation of more than ₱650,000. Money Gregory transferred from his bank account to Jomalens BPI bank account
No court has yet determined that Jomalén was murdered, that any particular person committed homicide, or that the total alleged financial loss is proven. Those are matters for evidence, investigation, prosecutorial assessment, and judicial determination.
Gregory’s position is nevertheless unequivocal:
Jomalén was improving in hospital.
A doctor reportedly strongly advised that she remain.
Gregory explicitly opposed her removal.
Nelpa removed her.
Jomalén deteriorated.
Urgent escalation was not carried out as Gregory directed.
Jomalén was later removed from hospital again.
She was transported overnight toward a healer rather than kept in medical care.
She collapsed.
She was recorded as dead on arrival at a hospital in Nueva Ecija.
Substantial money and property were then allegedly taken or left unaccounted for.
Official receipts and complete records were not supplied.
The questions that remain
The investigation must answer:
Which hospitals treated Jomalén between 18 March and 6 April 2023?
Why was she not admitted until 25 March?
What exactly did the doctor say on 30 March?
Who signed the first discharge documentation?
Was Jomalén capable of providing informed consent?
Why was she removed while improving?
What medical care did she receive from 30 March to 3 April?
When was she readmitted?
Who signed the second waiver or discharge?
Why was she removed again while critically ill?
Who decided to seek a healer?
Who selected Nueva Ecija as the destination?
Why were closer hospitals not used?
What treatment was attempted before she reached Nueva Ecija Doctors Hospital?
What did Joel Pandong know and do?
Who controlled Jomalén’s bank card and funds?
Where did each withdrawal or transfer go?
Why were official receipts not provided?
Why was a further ₱20,000 requested on 31 May 2023 without supporting documentation?
Why was the cancelled-house amount described as exceeding ₱200,000 when Gregory says the actual loss was approximately ₱120,000?
Why was critical information withheld from Gregory for years?
Could uninterrupted hospital treatment have prevented Jomalén’s death?
Jomalén Indonilla Moleta was not defined by the way she died.
She was an educated, loving, capable woman. She was the heart of her family, the person who provided, the person who carried responsibility, and the person who built a future with Gregory.
She was loved by her friends. She was loved unconditionally by the man she intended to marry. She had an approved visa to come to Australia, a home, plans, and a future.
Gregory’s position is that her death should never have happened.
The purpose of this document is not to replace a criminal investigation, a medical expert’s opinion, or a court judgment. Its purpose is to preserve the chronology, identify the contradictions, organise the evidence, and prevent Jomalén’s final days from being concealed behind vague explanations.
The full truth about her death and the missing money must be established lawfully.
Those responsible—whether for deliberate wrongdoing, gross neglect, financial misappropriation, or concealment—must be identified through evidence and held accountable under Philippine law.
Jomalén deserves truth.
She deserves dignity.
And she deserves justice.
