AFP General Jes Durante Debunks Claims He is Behind the Death of Yvonne Chua
General Jesus Durante III of the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) emphatically denied any role in the death of Yvonette “Yvonne” Chua Plaza.
He denied any involvement in the death of Yvonne, who was shot in the face outside her Davao home. Yvonne’s death was even mourned by former President Rodrigo Duterte’s former chief of the Presidential Security Group (PSG).
Durante, who now heads the Army’s 1001st Brigade in Davao de Oro province, explained that his name was linked to Yvonne’s death because of a social media post the slain model made in April 2022. According to the post, Yvonne shared a photo of herself with bruises and cuts on her face and tagged Durante as the one who hurt her.
“Yvonne was a friend,” he said in a text message to the Inquirer. “My name is being dragged based on an FB (Facebook) post made last April 2022 wherein [she said] I allegedly hurt her. She later retracted the post and issued a statement that I did not in any way harm her,” said Durante.
“I, myself, am asking for justice for Yvonne,” the general insisted.
Yvonne, 38, was shot multiple times at close range outside her home. When she stepped out of the Mitsubishi Montero sport utility vehicle and was going to enter the rented house at Purok 18, Buttercup Street of Green Meadows Subdivision in Barangay Sto. Niño, Tugbok district, on December 29 at 7:30 p.m. Tomas, two unidentified suspects riding motorcycles appeared and shot her
