I Watched the "Case Unclosed" Episode on the Chiong Sisters

It would be Halloween tomorrow. Sorry in advance for non-Tagalog speakers if you can't understand. It's too bad I have no transcript to translate to English. Instead of wasting time on Noli de Castro's "Aswang" videos--it would be best to rewatch this documentary. I wish I had seen it back when it was first aired. A lot of inconsistencies are pointed out in this documentary. Apparently, it was aired on October 16, 2008.

The video doesn't deny Francisco Juan "Paco" G. Larrañaga's previous case of attempted kidnapping, the Uy brothers' mother revealing that her sons weren't friends with Paco during that time, and the fact that there's a lot of inconsistencies. How can I honor the Supreme Court decision after realizing that Davidson Rusia wasn't even cross-examined, where was all the evidence, and blind faith in the judiciary that it will never convict an innocent person? 

I encourage people to watch this episode and see it for themselves. One doesn't need to be a lawyer to understand what's being spoken of here!

Ghosts or Money: the Witnesses of the Chiong Sisters' Case

As it's July and it's been raining hard , it's hard for me not to think of the Chiong Sisters case. It's because the two sisters disappeared during a rainy evening . Sure, it's already been more than 20 years. However, an injustice for one is an injustice for all. In this case, it's not just injustice for the #Chiong7, the families of the #Chiong7--but also for the Chiong family. There's really no real justice when the wrong people are convicted.  As I watched Jacqueline Comes Home --I can't help but comment where God supposedly spoke to Thelma Jimenea-Chiong, where Mrs. Chiong went to a group of seances (which may have never happened and Mrs. Chiong stormed out of the theater, crying, during the rape scenes), and a scene where Marijoy's ghost was at the ravine at Tan-awan, Carcar. Now, it's time to look at another angle of the witnesses that came forward to incriminate Paco. Were there ghosts or money? This would be an interesting question to as...

A Look at the Tiananmen Square Massacre's Brutal History

I went to China in 2007. It pains me that going to China now might not be the best thing to do. When I think of Tiananmen--I think of the brutal massacre that happened on June 4, 1989. I guess not all peaceful protests work. It's effortless to talk about the EDSA Revolution of 1986 and how it encouraged others to do something similar. We have the fall of the Berlin Wall in Germany. Before that, Mohandas Karamchand "Mahatma" Gandhi did peaceful protests to get the British colonization out of India, without firing a bullet. Benigno Simeon "Ninoy" A. Aquino Jr. admired Gandhi's peaceful efforts. Did the Chinese students think that the same thing could work against a Communist totalitarian regime ? BBC News The protests happened after the death of the beloved Chinese President Hu Yaobang. Hu was considered a great reformer of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). Students mourned for Hu as a national hero. Details from BBC show these details why the protests happe...

Is Your Favorite Source of Information "Trust Me Bro"?

It's something to think about Facebook comments section , right? I can't decide if I should allow unmoderated comments. The world of comments can be so annoying these days.   It's one thing if one comments for constructive criticism . However, one could really think about how many comments (even under Anonymous or troll accounts) are just there to derail. News about the Philippines' getting newer reforms such as more foreign direct investments (FDIs) have a lot of stupid comments too. I'm not surprised with comments such as, "It's Duterte's gift to China!" or "Allowing foreign telecommunication companies will risk our security!" When I ask for the sources on Facebook, I tend to get the argument that's as foolish as, "Trust me bro!" A lack of intelligence is one thing. It's another thing to ignore common sense. This meme makes me laugh at the pyramid of learning. Okay, I have a high school diploma during K+10. I soon had ...
