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.

Rare Interview Footage of Ninoy Aquino and Doy Laurel in Japan, Reveal Marcos Years Were NEVER a Legitimate Parliamentary System

People who are afraid of shifting to a parliamentary system tend to use the Marcos Years as proof. Fearmongers on Facebook are still up to their old tricks, using the Marcos Years to say, "No to cha-cha!" Never mind that a new constitution had to be written after 1986. If anything, Article XVII was inserted in the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines because it was never meant to be set in stone. Also, the 1973 Constitution of the Philippines was illegal .  Here's a video of the late Benigno Simeon "Ninoy" A. Aquino Jr. and the late Salvador "Doy" Laurel. The words of Laurel here show the problem of Marcos' "parliament". Marcos' "parliament" lacked legitimacy . Where was the sporting chance of the Opposition? If it was a real parliamentary system, Ninoy would've been leading the Opposition in weekly debates against the Marcos-led government. That is if the late Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr. was the prime minister. If Cesar Vir...

A Parliamentary Philippines with Mandatory Weekly Questioning Will Be Better Than Its Mandatory Yearly Presidential SONAs

Rappler I must admit that ignorance of the difference between the parliamentary system vs. the presidential system is there. Some people still insist on the myth that the first Marcos Administration headed by President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.'s late father, Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr., was really a parliamentary system. In reality. the Marcos "parliamentary" years during the Martial Law era, were still presidential (read why  here ). A simple research would show that Cesar Virata was called by the late Lee Kuan Yew, as a non-starter and no leader. LKY would know how a real parliamentary system works. Sure, it's one thing that those who consider themselves Dilawan, voice their criticisms. However, the big problem of the Dilawans is their focus on political idolatry rather than solutions. I can talk with the Dilawans all they want that we do need to shift to the parliamentary system and some of them still cry foul, say that it'll be a repetition of the first Marcos Admi...

The Foolishness of Complaining About Stupid Voters and Stupid Candidates, While Insisting the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines is "So Perfect"

I was looking into the Facebook page of Butthurt Philippines . Honestly, it's easy to complain but what's the use of complaining if you reject the solutions? The art produced by its administrator shows some problems. However, if the administrator here believes that the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines is "perfect as it is" (and he seems to be throwing a "saving face" by saying it was just sarcasm, and I failed to detect it) then it's really something. It's one thing to keep complaining. Complaining can be good. However, what's the use of complaining if you reject the solutions. Even worse, complaining about the quality of candidates for the upcoming 2025 midterm elections , while still saying, "It's not the system it's the people!" Please, that kind of thinking has been refuted even by basic psychology and political science! It's really good to point out the three problems. Distractions? Check. Keeping people hopeless? ...

Don't Expect a Mahathir-Type Leader, Under the 1987 Constitution!

ABS CBN News Happy 100th birthday, Mahathir Mohamad! It's something that not so many people live up to 100, or more. The late Fidel V. Ramos passed away on July 31, 2022, at the age of 94. Ramos's advanced age may be the reason why the Omicron variant (which isn't supposedly fatal) ended his life. I'm posting this image of Ramos and Mahathir for one reason--Ramos wanted charter change back in the 1990s. However, plenty of anti-charter change commercials came in, the late Raul Roco said we only need a change in people, and we have Hilario G. Davide Jr. (who's in his late 80s but still active), and the idea that having a president who will rule for more than six years, is supposedly scary. Please, have they even thought that the late Pol Pot ruled Cambodia for just four years, but carried millions of deaths , that would make the late Ferdinand E. Marcos Sr.'s 20-year reign  look tame (read here )? I've read posts on Facebook saying the Philippines just needs l...

Why I Believe So Many Filipinos (Especially Boomers) Misunderstand (and Blindly Oppose) Charter Change

Okay, I'm no political analyst or historian. That doesn't mean I should just shut up and not share my opinion. I felt like I needed to publish this piece. This is where I want to examine another issue. I've noticed some people on Facebook are sharing the quotes of Atty. Hilario G. Davide Jr. Some would try to do Ad Hominem attacks on me because I'm no constitutionalist (which I admit that I'm not). Just because I'm not a constitutionalist, doesn't mean, that I can't quote from the experts . Do I really need a degree in law at one of those prestigious universities in the Philippines? Sadly, some people are supposedly smarter than me but are the ones spreading nonsense.  Understanding charter change We need to see the definition first to understand why so many Filipinos, especially boomers , are so against it. The Philippine Star   gives this definition of charter change: Charter change, simply, is the process of introducing amendments or revisions to the ...
