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.

The Three Drug Mules Executed in China Last January 30, 2011

Al Jazeera Today is March 30, 2026. It has been 15 years since the execution of the three drug mules. Their names are Sally Ordinario-Villanueva, Ramon Credo (who was cremated in China shortly after his execution), and Elizabeth Batain (whose face was never revealed, perhaps due to the loved ones requesting more privacy). Contrary to what one might think, the three drug mules weren't a trio. Instead, they were three separate cases that just happened to be scheduled to die on the same day.  They weren't a trio. They had a temporary reprieve when  former vice president Jejomar Binay tried to save them . Villanueva, together with Ramon Credo and Elizabeth Batain, was scheduled to be executed last month but got a reprieve after Vice President Jejomar Binay traveled to China and personally appealed to Chinese authorities. BBC   News even gave such a short news report, that I felt compelled to copy/paste the whole time as a reference here: Philippine Vice-President Jejomar Bin...

Mahatma Gandhi's Use of Tax Evasion, as a Form of Protest?

The 40th anniversary of the 1986 EDSA Revolution came last month. Benigno Simeon "Ninoy" A. Aquino Jr. said these words: "According to Gandhi, the willing sacrifice of the innocent is the most powerful answer to insolent tyranny that has yet been conceived by God and man." Basically, EDSA 1986 can't claim to be all too unique. Ninoy had made Gandhi an inspiration. The dictatorship of the First Marcos Administration may be over . However, the Philippines is still stuck in another dictatorship called the dictatorship of the Filipino First Policy . It does sound stupid, but even without Marcos or foreign colonization (please stop mistaking foreign investment with foreign invasion ), there's still some oppression to fight. You can think about decades of overly high taxes and restrictions on foreign investments.  Now, we need to look at the historical context in which Gandhi's "tax evasion" occurred. According to a Jagran Josh   article written by ...

Facts vs. Gossip: The "Chona Mae" Incident is Proof You NEED to Verify What You Hear

It was in 2012 when the Chona Mae incident happened. I remember the panic when people were running the opposite direction while I was working at Downtown, Cebu. The traffic was bad. People were panikcing. But the real twist? It was actually a father looking for his daughter, whose identity we may never know.  The Cebu Daily News   said this last 2022, which was before entering the post-COVID world: CEBU CITY, Philippines — It has been a decade since the famous “Chona Mae” line was uttered by a father looking for her daughter after a 6.9 magnitude earthquake struck the island of Cebu, February 6, 2012 .  From what was a simple call of a father to his daughter turned out to be the biggest tsunami scare in Cebu City.  “Ang tubig naa na sa Colon!” ("The Water is already in Colon!") was the line that has gotten everyone running on the street of Cebu looking for shelters up in the mountain parts of Cebu.  Today, we remember that frightful yet somehow funny day that w...

The EDSA Revolution of 1986 Would've Never Happened if People were Stuck in Nostalgia

  It's something that I read crybaby comments online where people are saying, "Making EDSA a special working day is making us forget the glory of EDSA." Please, let me remind people that even 10 years later , neither the late Lee Kuan Yew's birthday nor his death anniversary has become a national holiday in Singapore! Singapore simply honored LKY's birthday by working on that day. I was laughing at the toxic Facebook page called We Are Millennials. What truly made me think that these people are stuck in nostalgia is that EDSA 1986 would never have been possible if the Filipinos were stuck in nostalgia . I remember talks about how the first Marcos administration was built on these two pillars. The first pillar was information control . The other pillar was toxic positivity. I remember back in 1995 when the social studies teacher talked about how he thought that Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. was a "good president" due to the long holidays. However, the holidays ...

BRUTAL Truth: Stop HOPING for Another "PNoy-Like President" Because the Parliamentary System will Produce MUCH BETTER Leaders

Let me get this straight, I'm not here to totally dismiss the good that the late Benigno Simeon "Ninoy" C. Aquino III did. I'll try to be least biased  when I'm writing this to "give a shock" to those who tend to treat his term as a "magical time". However, I'm going to have to warn people about the problem of looking for "another Messiah leader". Yesterday was the would've been 66th birthday of Noynoy if he were alive. One can talk good about Noynoy's legacy. However, we need to realize that relying on Noynoy's term is a violation of the Mahathir Mohamad principle of "Never stop learning."  We need to think that there's only one Noynoy and when he died, he died . TV-5 reveals that Rep. Edgar Erice, a long-time friend of the late leader, also said the following: Caloocan City 2nd District Rep. Edgar Erice made the remark in a social media post marking Aquino’s 66th birth anniversary.  In the post, he co...
