MANILA, Philippines — It took almost 18 years for actress Rochelle Barrameda to come face-to-face with one of the primary suspects in the 2007 killing of her sister Ruby Rose, whose body was found in a drum dumped off Navotas City.
Barrameda went to Camp Karingal in Quezon City on Friday night and positively identified one “Victor Vidal Dueñas,” also known as “James Paul Dwight,” as actually fishing magnate Lope Jimenez. Jimenez is the uncle of Manuel Jimenez III, Ruby Rose’s husband.

Inside the Criminal Investigation and Detection Unit of the Quezon City Police District, a police officer asked Jimenez if he knew Barrameda. The suspect said no.

“Who are you?” asked Jimenez, by then seated on a monoblock chair and wearing a yellow detainee’s shirt.
“I’m the sister of Ruby Rose Jimenez, the woman you ordered killed,” Barrameda replied.
Jimenez, however, denied he was the Navotas businessman and uncle of Ruby Rose’s husband, insisting he was Dueñas.
Barrameda had the last word in the exchange: “You can’t escape now.”
Prayers answeredLater speaking to the Inquirer, Barrameda said she was sure “It’s him. I know him as Lope Jimenez.” “The features, the face, the height, it’s him.”
“He kept on denying it, (insisting) that maybe I’m wrong. But it’s him. He was actually shocked. He didn’t think he would actually meet me.”

“I wanted to hurt him back there, but I held back,” she said, referring to their meeting at the police station after almost two decades.
“What is important is that he is now arrested because we have been praying for this for a long time,” Barrameda said.
The arrest of Jimenez “after a long period of hiding,” she said, gave her and her family hope that justice may finally be within their reach.
In a statement on Monday, the DA said the newly created Agricultural Cooperative Enterprise Development Services (ACED Services) would streamline efforts and optimize resources allotted for supporting cooperatives.
The corporate watchdog on Monday said its new extension office at the South Cotabato Gymnasium and Cultural Center was built to cater to more Soccsksargen-based firms, as travel time to the nearest SEC office in Davao City took around three hours from Koronadal.
They are now counting on the CA case to revive public interest in the killing.
