A Certain MARITES Vandalized Wikipedia to "Prove" that the Chiong Sisters Are "Still Alive"


Christmas can bring me some memories. One of them was having a Christmas vacation with the Chiong Sisters Case in mind back in high school. Above is a vandalism I found on Wikipedia (which I take with a grain of salt). Please be reminded Wikipedia is where anyone can edit therefore it's a spurious source. Without her permission, the 2023 photo was most likely taken from Mrs. Thelma Jimenea-Chiong's Facebook. I agree with Marty Syjuco that Mrs. Chiong was the victim of the crime. However, seven innocent people were wrongly tagged as the public demanded answers. There can only be justice for either side once the real culprits are discovered. Some cases happen and the real perpetrators have not yet been found. 

I'd like to really point out some simple facts. Let me remind people of the following facts:
  1. Amelie Arquilliano-Chiong was born as Amelie R. Arquilliano. She is the wife of the late Marijoy Jimenea Chiong's brother Bruce. She's in Canada. 
  2. The three Chiong sisters namely Marijoy, the late Jacqueline Jimenea Chiong, and Debbie Jane Chiong-Sia are all students at the Philippine Christian Gospel School (PCGS) near the University of San Carlos (USC). A trip there would prove that there are three of them. Debbie survived her two older sisters.
  3. The other sister-in-law is the wife of Dennis, the second son. Her name is Mitch Beltran-Chiong. Again, I hope that friends of Mitch will defend her in all of these. It's crazy how Mitch is mistaken for Marijoy when she's obviously not her sister-in-law. 

Right now, I realized that Debbie may have been my schoolmate. I have a few friends who personally knew her. Some records of the school will prove that Jacqueline is a student of the Univesity of San Jose-Recoletos (USJ-R) while Debbie and Marijoy are both Carolinians (students of USC). The photo above (CTTO, for now) shows that they did have a youngest sister. Why do some people say they're sure that Debbie is Jacqueline? That's a very serious charge. I guess even if the papers (such as birth certificates and academic reports) are shown--such people may act like the late Judge Martin Ocampo with the pieces of evidence that the wrongly accused Francisco Juan G. Larrañaga had for his innocence.

I do get irritated when people on Facebook are presenting "proof" that the two are alive. Even worse, they say that they're "sure". Did they even go to Canada to get proof of it? The "proof" was none other than one of the sisters-in-law, Amelie, who migrated with her husband. How can the life of one private citizen be destroyed by a group of MARITESes? Right now, Amelie's pictures aren't proof that Marijoy is alive. Some crimes happen and the real perpetrators are never found. 

Last 2018, here's a post from someone on Facebook. I'm not going to reveal the name or link the account to protect the person's privacy: 

I was 12 years old when the Chiong sisters vanished. Back then, reading newspapers was one of my favorite past times (got the habit from my grandparents).  Any case involving violence against women & children always keep me doubly interested. This particular one, I followed from newspaper reports to the tv reports. I could remember clearly that during the initial report, there was a different lead. But then a star witness appeared out of nowhere, and the arrest of the Chiong seven followed. When that happened, all hell broke loose. It became a media circus! Then I've seen it all on tv... from the presiding judge wearing sunglasses during court proceedings, to the "she's channeling Jackie" scene. The entire trial was a joke! There was no hard forensic evidence against the seven accused, other than the testimony of a convicted felon. And above all, there are evidences and witnesses refuting said claims of the star witness. I just hope that with this petition, we as the Filipino people will finally get to open our eyes and use our minds to fight for truth & justice.  And please stop sharing those posts with pictures of Debbie Chiong claiming that she is her murdered sister. She works for the same company that I used to work for. Yes, they might have some similarities (they're sisters after all). But look at their facial bone structures, particularly the chin. And of course, the age of both women comes into question (unless they found the fountain of youth).  As I said please stop sharing those posts. Why??? It undermines & discredits the work of the people fighting to free Paco & his co-accused. For all we know, the very same people behind these posts are the ones also responsible for those lies and injustice that framed and put the Chiong seven to jail. And, WE should never help them by spreading more lies! But we could help their victims by signing & sharing this petition instead!

Right now, I do believe that the body in Carcar was indeed Marijoy and that Jacqueline's the victim of a no-body murder case. I stand by it that Paco is innocent of the crime just as much as Jacqueline and Marijoy are no longer in this world. There's really no closure on both sides. One family lost their daughters. Another set of families have their loved ones in prison over a crime they never committed.

Reading this, despite the minor error in regards to Davidson, I can see that something is wrong. What if those who are trying to claim the "Chiong Sisters are alive!" may be the same people who are trying to hide the truth. After all, fake evidence is one of the worst things you can do to get someone acquitted or condemned.

Better Think Twice Before Defunding the Police

There are stupid people on Facebook who always say, "Defund the police!" Think about defunding the police? Well, this video from San Francisco shows just how "wonderful" society can get when you defund the police. The call to defund the police has been called because of abusive cops . I'm not going to deny that there are abusive cops. However, the profession of a policeman as well as the government having the function of police is another. Are we going to abolish the government entirely because of some corrupt politicians?  We need to get the facts straight about what happens when the police is defunded . Those who are calling to abolish the police have no idea what they're getting themselves into. Yet, we've got fools such as the gossiping Facebook page, the Philippine Anti-Fascist League (which I heard is spearheaded by a bitter youth and some rebellious youths) even made this very stupid diagram... The police are needed to protect all the cups. Don...

Don't Fear Martial Law, Only Fear It Can Be Misused and Abused

Today is September 21 and it's often remembered as the dark era of history. It's because the late Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. declared martial law. Some people demonize martial law without knowing what it means. Even worse, some people who demonize martial law also say that the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines is "the best in the world". What they don't realize is that martial law can be done, when required, such as when former Philippine president, Atty. Rodrigo R. Duterte declared it during the Marawi siege. Also, martial law is part of the provisions of the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines : Section 18 . The President shall be the Commander-in-Chief of all armed forces of the Philippines and whenever it becomes necessary, he may call out such armed forces to prevent or suppress lawless violence, invasion or rebellion. In case of invasion or rebellion, when the public safety requires it, he may, for a period not exceeding sixty days, suspend the privilege of...

Learning About Chinese Dialects

As I look back on my college days, I recall learning more about Chinese history in a Chinese Language Class elective. Yes, it was going back to Grade 1 Chinese, but doing Grade 1 Chinese right. I looked at this video and thought of China's many dialects. A dialect is defined by the Oxford dictionary as, "a particular form of a language which is peculiar to a specific region or social group." The subject was taught in English, not requiring students to learn Hokkien first, and it was how the Chinese school system should've been. Most Chinese Filipinos (like myself) are Hokkien speakers. Amoy is known as Xiamen today, a coastal city of the Fujian Province. I was shocked to learn there are many different types of Chinese, such as Cantonese (used in Hong Kong), and I wasn't shocked to learn that Hainan and Hakka are other dialects in China. Similar to Filipino, China has several languages too! In the Philippines, we have Tagalog, Cebuano, Kapampangan, Waray, and Hilig...

Martial Law Under the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines

September 21 paints a grim picture, especially for what's often called the martial law victims. I remember panicking back when I was 11 years old. It was possible that the late Fidel V. Ramos may declare martial law at any time. However, researching the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines can help. It can help Filipinos determine what needs to be revised to fit the current times.  Article VII Section 18 says the following about martial law: SECTION 18. The President shall be the Commander-in-Chief of all armed forces of the Philippines and whenever it becomes necessary, he may call out such armed forces to prevent or suppress lawless violence, invasion or rebellion. In case of invasion or rebellion, when the public safety requires it, he may, for a period not exceeding sixty days, suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus or place the Philippines or any part thereof under martial law. Within forty-eight hours from the proclamation of martial law or the suspension of the p...

Today in History: Hanoi's Liberation Day

Vietnam Times October 10 is mostly associated with Double 10 in Taiwan. However, Communism has its celebration with Hanoi Liberation Day . I got this information from the Vietnam Times on what the day is all about: Along with the victory of Dien Bien Phu campaign, the Geneva Agreements on armistice in Indochina was signed. After many days of struggling in the Geneva Conference, agreements on transfering Hanoi to the Vietnamese people were finally signed on September 30th and October 2nd 1954 in the United Armistice Center Committee. Following the Resolution on September 17th 1954 of the Government Council, the City Troops Committee of Hanoi was established with General Vuong Thua Vu, the commander of the Pioneer Division, as the Chairman and doctor Tran Duy Hung as the Vice Chairman. The City Troops Committee of Hanoi had the task of taking over and managing the city. The Military Commanders ordered the Vietnamese soldier units to take over the city of Hanoi and abide by the policies ...
