While waiting for the right time to get the info of the freelance model that I'm going to feature here, I was watching TV and learned that Jason Ivler was caught. Ivler is the prime suspect of the shooting of Renato Ebarle Jr, son of a Malacañang undersecretary.
His profile and personality caught my attention because he is not just nobody. He already got a certain level of fame and celebrity factor before all the violent incidents he is involved right now. Ivler was part of the second batch of teens cast in the 1997 GMA-7 youth-oriented show, “Thank God It’s Sabado (TGIS),” where he played a Fil-Am boy named Bullet alongside his fellow co-stars Dingdong Dantes, Antoinette Taus, and Anne Curtis.
Ivler also recorded a rap album in 2006 titled “JsIn In The Philippines,” which features all the angry and violent songs he wrote. Since then, Ivler has been apparently expressing his rage and anger through music. This is not surprising, as music is in his blood. Ivler is the nephew of Filipino folk rock legend Freddie Aguilar. His mother, Marlene Aguilar Pollard, is the sister of Freddie and also sings occasionally at The Hobbit House in Manila aside from writing books.
Here are the lyrics of one of Ivler's songs in the album:
"Like 50 Cent, many men want me dead
They got a price on my head
But I stay in the club like I don’t give a f--k
The Department of Justice is trying
to bust this case in my face
And trying to keep me in one place
So now I’m getting prosecuted
This s--t is highly disputed
The Bureau of Immigration and the
National Bureau of Investigation got your man Jason
Try and get me, I’m gonna fight this
Y’all acting sh---y like a laxative
I told y’all it was motherf---ing accident."
As you notice, the song is good, its rhymed and contained story of his true-to-life experience. He could have been a good rapper and song writer. But what could have been on his mind when he shot the son of the Unsec, or when he fought the NBI agents to resist arrest. I cant imagine too much violence in mind. Could it be a result of a dark past experience? It could be that he has post traumatic stress as a result of his Iraq war experience, where he served as a US soldier. But the album was created before he enrolled in the US military. So, it could also be a result of a dark traumatic childhood experience.
Still, I can say that Jason Ivler is a wasted talent and personality. If he had proper counselling he could have been someone big. Now, it's a waste because he is going to Jail.
I understand that people go through traumatic experience at least once in their lifetime. I even have my own dark past that gives me nightmares until now, but that was not enough for anger and hate to consume my whole existence.
...Based on the lyrics of his song, I still believe that Jason is a good rapper and song writer. If his album "JsIn" will be released Im still going to buy a copy of it (hehe)
"I dont believe that there is a person who is natural born killer, Im sure it's a result of how lives surrounding that person opened his consciousness"
