THE TRUTH YOU ALL NEED TO KNOW!
Hi, I’m Roxanne, the legal wife of Rod Jester Reyes Labayne , the same man who promised forever last May 2023 and gave me a son who’s only 3 years old. But guess what? That “forever” turned out to have an expiration date and it expired the moment he found his “boo.” 🥴
So here’s my truth. No filter. No lies. No more pretending.
Everything was normal, fights, tampuhan, bati, the usual life of a small family. But July 2025, things started to change. Si Mr. Husband biglang naging party boy. “Overtime daw sa work,” pero sa totoo lang, nasa bar lang pala, gimik-gimik with women. Mga regular guest nila sa work, sabi pa niya “di ako nagpapaalam kasi magagalit ka.” WOW. So now lying is love?
I even messaged his colleagues, told them “wag niyo nang idamay si Rodjester sa kalokohan niyo”. He promised, “Last na to, di na ako sasama.” Pero gaya ng dati, puro kasinungalingan.
Then came August 8, he didn’t go home. I messaged his coworkers again. I even reached out to their wives, kasi hello?! it’s already midnight and my husband was “missing.” Then his family found out, and instead of siding with what’s right, sila pa ang nakipag-away sa’kin.
So, I left his family’s house at San Mateo Rizal with my son, August 11, kasi minsan, kailangan mo talagang piliin ang dignidad kaysa sa paulit-ulit na kahihiyan.
Then August 19, someone sent me screenshots of him and his other woman calling each other “boo.” That convo was made last August 13. Akala ko drama lang sa teleserye, pero totoo pala and I confront my Husband but he said “Wala kaming relasyon” “I’m sorry, titigilan na namin pag uusap namin”, “Promise, aayusin natin ulit to”. And because I don’t want my child to grow up in a broken family setup, I set aside how I felt that time. Tinanggap ko ulet siya without me knowing that he will again rip-off!
And now let’s talk about the other woman. Oh yes!Miss “Classy and Professional” kuno. She’s also MARRIED. To her 13-years partner, they have 2 kids together. Now she claims “co-parenting” daw sila, pero still living with her in-laws! 🤣 The audacity! So, let’s call it what it is “adultery” disguised as co-parenting. Her husband cheated on her before, so instead of breaking the cycle, she decided to become the same kind of woman who ruined her. Bravo!!!👏🏻
And here’s the plot twist! This woman used to be the mistress of my husband’s best friend. YESSS!! The same best friend where my husband was the “Best Man” during the wedding. More like, BEST CHEATER! Now they’re both sharing the same mistress. CRINGE isn’t even enough to describe it.🤢You can call it “love,” but the world calls it recycled immorality.
To the other woman, You can pretend to be classy all you want, but your actions scream “kabet”! Married ka na, may anak ka pa, and yet you choose to destroy another home. You didn’t “fall in love”, you fell in disgrace.
Wait, hindi pa doon nagtatapos ang kababuyan. So let’s continue with how our story goes…
August 28, lumipat na kami ng bagong apartment cause he told me gusto nya bumukod and ayusin ang pamilya namin. 1st week, I thought everything’s okay. Again, that’s what I only thought because he still continue what he had with his “BOO”. And this woman, consistenly goes to my husband’s work. Accomplices are my husband’s workamates. Even the only girl in the workplace is part of the show! Funny that they became friends with “OTHER WOMAN”. Birds of the same feather, flocks together!
Then after 2 weeks of staying in our Apartment, unti-unti na ulet mas lumala ang husband ko. Every week, once or twice na hinde umuuwi sa bahay and he will always reason out to me, “uminom kami, nakatulog kami sa house ni Sir Dax!”. Imagine! You have the guts to sleep sa house ng boss mo while leaving your wife and your kid all alone.
Then here comes, September 13, it’s my husband’s Birthday! Around 10pm that time, I messaged him, “Babe, Inom naman tayo celebrate natin bday mo ng tayong dalawa lang. wait po kita” and He replied “Sge po”. Around 12am the next day, I am trying to contact him but he didn’t answer my calls and messages. Again, hindi na naman siya umuwi. From 4am-7am that day, I kept on calling him over and over again, dahil inaatake na ako ng depression, anxiety and acid reflux ko. I also tried to call his colleagues para sabihin sa magaling kong asawa na gusto ko na magpatakbo sa hospital cause I can’t handle my acid reflux but he just seen and ignore my messages and calls so with his friends. 1:30 in the afternoon the following day when my husband got home. Reason, “Nakatulog ako kala sir dax,Sorry!”
Pilit niya ako sinusuyo, nilalambing, niyayakap at kinikiss pero hindi ako nagpadala because it’s too much. Hinde na tama! After that, natulog na lang kami kasama anak namin. Pag gising namin dun ko napansin na wala siyang suyo na naman, tahimik lang siya and kinausap ko siya. The guts! siya pa galit nag sosorry na nga daw siya eh and pilit ko na siya tinanong kung ano pa ba halaga ko sa kanya kase bakit kahit emergency na ay mas mahalaga pa din sa kanya ibang tao. Lagi niya lang sagot “nakatulog nga lang kase ako “ hanggang sa pinilit ko talaga sya sagutin ng maayos tanong ko! Hanggang sa nakipag hiwalay na lang siya at ang dahilan niya ay “TOXIC NA KASE, HINDI NA NATEN MAAAYOS TO, PALAYAS LAYAS KAPA KASE SA BAHAY AYAN TULOY IMBIS NA SA IBANG BAGAY NAPUPUNTA YUNG PAMBAYAD SA BAHAY”.
Ang Husband ko ay simula’t sapul ayaw nakabukod. Gusto nakaasa at nakasandal sa pamilya nya. He didn’t choose to fix our family, the family he built first. Instead he choose to fix and continue his relationship with his “OTHER WOMAN”. You know what’s funny?🤭 Gusto niya pa non na magsama pa din kami sa isang bahay para sa anak namin pero hiwalay na daw. “CO-PARENTING” daw at same with his other woman’s case with his ex-husband.
September 19–21, he didn’t go home again. Walang text, walang tawag. Then nung umuwi siya, September 21, may pa-doctor’s certificate pa. Sabi niya, “May tama yung lungs ko.” Pero guess what? Ubo lang pala, upper respiratory infection! And his manager even messaged me asking where he was, kasi absent daw sa work. You know where he actually was? In Cavite. Sa bahay ng tito niya. With the other woman. Kapal ng mukha. May sakit daw sa lungs pero nakahiga sa kasalanan. 🤡 and the best part? His family, our wedding ninong, and some of his friends all knew about it. Clap clap clap. What a supportive community of enablers. 👏
Then after that, he went to work and never came home again. He completely left us. Me. His wife. And our 3-year-old son.
Tapos October 13, ang “mabuti kong asawa” bumalik, not to apologize, but to empty our house. He took everything he claimed to have bought: ref, bed foam, gas stove, even the blankets. Kahit kumot!!! walang pinalampas. Pero pinaka-pinagpilitan niyang kunin? Cellphone ko. Bakit kaya? Kasi nandito lahat ng ebidensya. Guilty much? He even got yung folders ko which has the compilation of my printed evidences, reports, and complaints.
And as if that’s not enough, here’s what this “man” this husband and his father said to me:
“WALA KA NAMAN AMBAG!”
“WALA KA NAMAN TRABAHO!”
“PALAMON LANG KITA KAYA KA NANABA NG GANYAN!”
“AKO BUMUHAY SAYO!”
“WALA KANG NARATING SA BUHAY!”
And from his ever-supportive, enabling father:
“Dapat pati apo ko makuha kasi wala naman mapapala sayo.”
“Wala kang pera, wala kang pangkain.”
“Kami may pera, ikaw wala — NGANGA.”
“Palamon ka lang namin.”
“Hindi bagay sayo tumira sa ganitong apartment, dapat sayo sa kalsada.”
And just when I thought I’ve cried enough, yesterday, someone sent me a photo of him and the other woman hugging. Walang takot. Walang hiya. Walang konsensya. Yung babae pa talaga ang mukhang proud na proud na “nakapang-agaw.”
To you, the other woman, you can have the trash. Just remember, a man who can lie to his wife and abandon his own child will one day do the same to you. Don’t mistake kabet privilege for love. I hope one day you realize that you helped destroy a family! not just a relationship, but a child’s peace, a mother’s strength, and a wife’s trust.
To his family, thank you for showing me that blood doesn’t always mean morals.
And to you, Rodjester, thank you. You taught me that sometimes losing a man is the best way to find yourself. You may have taken everything, the appliances, the house, even the peace I tried to keep, but one thing you’ll never take from me is my strength, my dignity, and my truth.
And now, to my husband, his family, and his other woman, STOP BLAME SHIFTING! Stop twisting the story just to make yourselves feel better. You can say whatever you want about my “attitude” or “behavior,” but let’s be clear, No matter how you justify it, cheating is still cheating. Rodjester and HIS OTHER WOMAN both committed infidelity and ruined a family. This is not about how I acted as a wife, this is about how you both chose betrayal over loyalty. I am the legal wife. I have every right to ask, to confront, to demand respect. You don’t get to cheat and then blame me for your decision to lie. You don’t get to ruin my marriage and then act like the victim. HINDI AKO NAGHAHABOL! PINAGLALABAN KO ANG KARAPATAN KO BILANG LEGAL NA ASAWA!
This post isn’t to create drama. This is to remind everyone na minsan, kahit gaano mo kamahal, kung paulit-ulit ka nang niloloko, kailangan mo ring mahalin ang sarili mo. Hindi mo deserve ang iwan, ang pagsinungalingan, at lalong hindi mo deserve na ipagpalit. After everything, I finally realized… Hindi lahat ng asawa, marangal. Hindi lahat ng pamilya, may malasakit. At hindi lahat ng iniiyakan, worth it. For now, it’s just me and my son. We may have lost a man, but we’ll never lose our dignity. Because I choose peace over pain, truth over lies, and self-worth over false love.
