On the July 16 2009 edition of ABS-CBN's
The Buzz (1999), segment host
Jobert Sucaldito reported that Pamela Ortiz was killed by her own husband in Pampanga. Sucaldito also printed the report on his tabloid column. But a week later, Pamela appeared on rival talk-show,
Startalk (1995) to deny the report. Pamela said she did not see the ABS-CBN report, and was only told by her husband who was received text message from a friend on the report.
