Jose Ramon Diokno Olives Death, Obituary – Former media executive and consultant Jose Ramon Diokno Olives, 62, died after falling from a condominium building in Rockwell Center, Makati City, according to a police incident report cited by Bilyonaryo. Authorities said the circumstances remain under investigation.
Police identified Olives as a resident of Joya Lofts North Tower in Barangay Poblacion. According to the report, his wife told investigators that she was inside their unit on September 29 when she heard the balcony door open. She then heard Olives speak, followed by a loud thud and cries from people outside. When she went to the balcony, she saw him on the pavement in front of the building.
Condominium security personnel secured the area and contacted authorities. Police and Makati rescue personnel responded, and scene-of-the-crime operatives examined the location and later inspected the unit as part of their investigation. Olives’ body was taken for an autopsy.
The report contains conflicting times. His wife’s account places the events at approximately 9:00 to 9:10 a.m., while the report lists the incident time as 3:50 p.m. and says police received the report at about 3:56 p.m. It does not explain the discrepancy.
No conclusion about the circumstances or cause of the fall should be drawn while the investigation is ongoing. The information provided does not include further details about Olives’ career or family, and those close to him deserve privacy as they grieve.
Our condolences go to his family, friends, and former colleagues.
