Description
In this episode, I delve into the life and untimely death of the talented Filipino artist Bree Jonson. Known for her evocative, nature-inspired paintings, Bree was on the cusp of further recognition in the art world when tragedy struck. On 18th September 2021, she was found dead in a hotel room in La Union, a popular beach town in the Philippines. Beside her was Julian Ongpin, the son of a wealthy and influential businessman, which immediately added layers of complexity and controversy to the case.
Was it a tragic accident, or is there something more sinister at play? I explore the key facts that I collected when I was blogging about this three years ago. I talk about the mystery surrounding her death, and the fight for justice led by her family and friends. Through witness accounts, legal developments, and reflections on Bree’s artistic legacy, I honour her spirit while seeking to understand the truth behind her untimely demise.
***
Three years on and we are still nowhere near any answers to the many questions in Bree’s Death. Justice also remains elusive. I am going to keep re-releasing this episode for as long as this podcast exists.
I ask that you help me in making Bree's name appear in algorithms and mentions again. Say her name and keep her case in the media.
Thank you.
