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.

Is It Just a Coincidence that Most Least Corrupt Countries, are Under the PARLIAMENTARY System?

It's easy to post an outrage on Facebook, whether it's on the Butthurt Philippines' Facebook page or Gerry Cacanindin's relatively open Facebook profile (except that only his friends can comment). I try to ignore the guy's page. I was wondering if Gerry has learned his lesson (that the Philippines badly needs a system upgrade) or if he still wants to believe that "It's just a matter if Leni Robredo or Vico Sotto." The latest Facebook post gives me something to think about: People often ask why some countries seem almost immune to corruption. As if their leaders are just magically more honest. But that’s not really it. The truth is actually simpler. These countries didn’t wait for good people. They built systems where doing something dirty is hard, risky, and usually not worth it. In the least corrupt countries, corruption isn’t just illegal but inconvenient. Paper trails are everywhere. Payments are digital. Contracts are public. Anyone can look up wh...

What? The Aquinos Aren't Part of a Political Dynasty?!

  I was looking at the Mahal Ko Ang Pilipinas  (I Love the Philippines)  Facebook page, which made me laugh. This is what they wrote on their post saying that the Aquino Family isn't a political dynasty: THE AQUINO FAMILY IS NOT A POLITICAL DYNASTY 🇵🇭🎗 Pro-Duterte blogger Tio Moreno says that Bam Aquino is part of a political dynasty because the Aquino family is a political dynasty. But to me, this is not true. Why is it not true that the Aquino family is a political dynasty? 🤔 1. When Ninoy Aquino entered politics, none of his children joined him in his endeavors, and even his wife Cory did not join him in politics. 2. When Ninoy was assassinated in 1983, none of his children succeeded him in politics, not even his wife. But when the opposition and his supporters were looking to be the opposition's candidate for the presidency in the snap election called by Ferdie Marcos for 1986, his housewife Cory Cojuangco-Aquino was approached, encouraged or convinced by people t...

A Parliamentary Philippines for Better Competitive Relations Between the Government and the Opposition

GMA News There was a handshake between former vice president Atty. Maria Leonor "Leni" Gerona-Robredo and President Ferdinand "Bongbong" R. Marcos Jr. in Sorsorgon . The two shook hands despite the rivalry they had in 2016 and 2022 for two positions. Recently, Kristine PH has caused damage in certain areas of Luzon. Marcos has shown a sign of courtesy to Mrs. Robredo by sending rubber boats to Naga, Camarines Sur . It can be said, "See, we don't need a parliamentary system! Marcos and Robredo are now on good terms!" However, we can't always guarantee that the Government and the Opposition will always be on good terms. Some people still assume that systems don't matter. I even remember passing on someone on Facebook who said, "Why don't you give me a study that will prove the parliamentary system will work in the Philippines?" I fired a rebuttal and said, "Where's your study that the parliamentary system will make it worse...

The Ozone Disco Fiasco Last March 18, 1996

Another 1990s tragedy that I remember hearing about was the Ozone Disco Tragedy . If I were teaching business ethics right now, I would use the Ozone Disco case as a case study. It deserves attention because of how tragic it was. I heard some bodies were never recovered. I watched this episode of the Ozone Disco Tragedy on Case Unclosed . Once again, I'll apologize if the videos I post don't have English subtitles. I may consider finding an application to provide a transcript soon, but that's no guarantee! Pretty much, if you're not a Filipino then just read through the blog entry without watching the video first!  I looked into an article from The   Flip Science called " Playing with fire: Understanding the Ozone Disco tragedy " which was written by Mikael Angelo Francisco, during the pandemic. The pandemic ceased several social gatherings, that included discos. Back then, I used the Ozone Disco tragedy as a reason to oppose dancing classes. However, dancing...

A Small List of Malay/Indo Words Found in the Tagalog Language

I wrote a blog entry where I discussed about trying to find links between Filipino languages and Southeast Asian languages . It wasn't surprising that while I was researching the song "Dayang Dayang", I found out that there was an Indonesian version sung by Virvina Vica in the 1990s. There was also another singer named Hainun Pangilan from Mindanao (where Indonesian and Malaysian influence survived). Bahasa is simply another word for language.  From Mastering Bahasa , here are some words in Tagalog which are borrowed from the Indonesians and Malaysians: 1.[/td] [td]Abo[/td] [td]Abu[/td] [td]Ash 2.[/td] [td]Ako[/td] [td]Aku[/td] [td]I (informal) 3.[/td] [td]Apoy[/td] [td]Api[/td] [td]Fire 4.[/td] [td]Balita[/td] [td]Berita[/td] [td]News 5.[/td] [td]Gulay[/td] [td]Gulai[/td] [td]Vegetables; Curry 6.[/td] [td]Hangin[/td] [td]Angin[/td] [td]Wind 7.[/td] [td]Hari[/td] [td]Hari[/td] [td]King; Day 8.[/td] [td]Kulang[/td] [td]Kurang[/td] [td]Less 9.[/td] [td]Salamat[/td] [td]Sela...
