Possible Insights on Enrique Uy's Claim of a "Phone Call from Canada"

I almost bought the hype that "The Chiong sisters are alive!" However, the pieces of evidence are moot as two private citizens' lives have been disrespected. The rumors started in 2005 but I only knew them decades later (read here). I was compelled to do some research because the claim is practically too good to be true or too horrible to be true. I heard the claim and decided to do a common-sense analysis. It's time to use further common-sense analysis. I already wrote a related post where I raise its questionability.

I find this as problematic as Atty. Harvey Keh's Anonymous source. I laughed when the late Atty. Miriam Defensor-Santiago, who died after the elections, scathed Keh's "evidence". The feisty senator reminds me of my former high school teacher, who always demanded evidence. To put into application of MDS's scathing sermon (and honestly, the scene reminds me of when my teacher scolded me severely for my misbehavior), here are some practical insights:

  1. I could be wrong, but the fact that Enrique never mentioned the name of this first cousin of the Chiong mother already makes it questionable. Just where are the other people who could at least verify the claim?!
  2. Was this matter even presented in court? The film Give Up Tomorrow didn't even bother to add it because of its questionable claim. The fact that Enrique never mentioned the cause of death makes one wonder how this person even died. 
  3. Did Enrique consider the fact that this deceased person may have been playing with his emotions? 
  4. Another thing is that this first cousin of the Chiong mother may have received a phone call from an anonymous "tipster". This makes the secondhand information even harder to verify. 
Now, for the angle of the "anonymous tipster", if that person ever exists, these are some things that came into my mind recently, after using Gemini App:
  1. This anonymous tipster was making a prank call from Canada, and lied to the first cousin of the Chiong mother, who possibly died out of shock. 
  2. Another possibility is that the anonymous tipster may be part of a bigger network that may be involved in the disappearance of the Chiong Sisters.
From another angle, Enrique may have been the victim of two prank calls that went this way:
  1. Enrique received a phone call from a woman claiming to be the first cousin of the Chiong mother. The phone call would say that the Chiong Sisters were taken to Danao, not Carcar. Then the woman claiming to be the Chiong Mother's first cousin gave him several pieces of "information", giving him hope that his children can get out of jail. This "first cousin of Mrs. Chiong" offers to sign an affidavit, and gives him the phone number to call her back
  2. Enrique prepared an affidavit, which was made by his lawyer. Enrique calls back but receives "sad news". A male voice takes over and says that the "first cousin of the Chiong mother" has passed away. 
The scenario makes me think that it could be two different people or one singular person. A man could've used whatever technology was available to impersonate a woman, pretend to be a "first cousin of Mrs. Chiong" and give him a call saying that the Chiong sisters were taken to Danao, and that the Chiong mother was able to talk to her daughter on a long-distance telephone from Vancouver, Canada, down to Talisay City. However, here are facts that we need to look into:
  1. The name of the "first cousin of the Chiong mother" wasn't mentioned. Who was she anyway? The anonymous call could've said, "I couldn't tell them my name, the Chiongs will murder me if I let you know their daughters are alive. I can't disclose which daughter either. But you should know the Chiong mother was able to talk to them on a long distance telephone from Canada to Talisay."
  2. The name of the daughter who was talking to Mrs. Chiong in Talisay wasn't mentioned.
  3. The Chiong Sisters' direct family lives in Cebu City. I heard they live in Banilad, which makes the whole claim to the call even more questionable. 

Why do I think real suspects may be involved? In the Give Up Tomorrow documentary, the following information was revealed:
  1. The late Dionisio Chiong was supposed to testify against a certain someone not mentioned in the film, for some reason. Dionisio lost his job, and, how unusually convenient, his two older daughters went missing.
  2. Dionisio suddenly chose not to testify when his daughters went missing.
  3. As ABS-CBN reporter Leo Lastimoso said, why didn't the police look for the suspects from that angle?
Again, this creates no justice for either the Chiongs or the falsely accused. Thelma Jimenea-Chiong is still in the illusion that she's gotten justice. I don't blame her for believing the lies told to her. After all, a grieving person is easy to manipulate. Losing two daughters is really bad enough. Jacqueline Jimenea Chiong's body was never found. It's possible that Jacqueline's body was dumped somewhere to hide evidence. If the body at Carcar wasn't Marijoys, then it's already a terribly case unclosed, even more.

What's the Use of Complaining About Celebrities and Political Dynasties Running for Politics While DEFENDING Presidential and Rejecting Parliamentary?

2025 is just around the corner for the midterm elections . People keep emphasizing the need to "defend the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines" for any amendments whatsoever. If that were true then we really need to remove Article XVII entirely if the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines was meant to be set in stone (read here ). Several camps whether it's PDP-Laban supporters, Liberal Party of the Philippines supporters, Uniteam supporters, etc.--I can expect social media mudslinging at its finest . I keep talking about the need to amend or even replace the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines. However, they keep acting like it's the best constitution in the world, they cite Atty. Hilario G. Davide Jr. (and others like the Monsods) to idolatrous levels , and when I talk about the parliamentary system--I can expect the whole, "Boohoo! It will never work because we already tried it under Marcos! The proof was Cesar Virata!" However, I wrote a refute on that ...

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 ...

30 Years of Flor Contemplacion Crybabies Spreading Fake News

Liza Maza Facebook Page It's 30 years since Flor Contemplacion was executed in Singapore. My memories was how some people felt hatred for Singapore, how we were told that "Filipinos are always oppressed." in both values education and civics classes, and how Flor should be regarded as a heroine. The Buwan Ng Wika program came and Flor's execution was also highlighted in the song "Kuko Ng Agila" (Claws of the Eagle). Flor was always romanticized as innocent, a martyr, and even some decent Filipinos bought it once. However, I soon accepted Flor's execution to be what it is-- Singaporean justice .  Some people are still continuing to commemorate Flor--as if she was some kind of Catholic saint or martyr. I could remember rallies year after year, commemorating Flor's "martyrdom". What was also ironic was, at that time, the Vizconde Massacre (read here ) happened and the wrong people were arrested. The public demanded the blood of Hubert Jeffry P....

[OPINION] Why Do Some Filipino Boomers Insist that the Marcos Years Were Under a "Parliamentary System"

  This is a screenshot I got on Facebook. The Tweet is courtesy of Raissa Espinosa-Robles, who I hear is a marites or a gossiper. I'm not denying that there are some truths in what she said. It's true that the Marcos Years have their well-documented human rights abuses. However, Mrs. Robles still continues to insist in the myth of a parliamentary system under Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr.'s regime. It's not just Mrs. Robles but also some Filipino boomers who keep saying, "Are you crazy? We had a parliamentary system under Marcos."  I could show them some evidence like Marcos' severe lack of legitimacy to disprove the parliamentary systme. I even wrote about the snap elections because Marcos was a president with powers (read here ). Under a parliamentary system, the president is purely ceremonial. The president is just a door opener and credentials receiver! Benigno Simeon A. Aquino Jr. and Salvador "Doy" Laurel both challenged the legitimacy of Marcos...

Hip Old Man Dances to Aborigine Dance "High Green Mountain"

Here's a video of an old man dancing to the Taiwanese folk song "High Green Mountain". This is one of my favorite versions. The song ends with an aboriginal chant--something that sounds like an Ifugao beat from Nueva Ecija.
