The Chiong’s Sisters murder case

Conclusions

1. The case is all about the chiong sisters that had been kidnapped, raped, and murdered 24 years
from now, and that was on July 16, 1997. According to (Farolan, 2018) Marijoy and Jacqueline
Chiong were abducted by seven men as they were standing at a waiting shed around 10:30 pm
along Archbishop Reyes Avenue in Cebu city. 2 days after the disappearance of the Chiong
sisters, Marijoy's body was found at the bottom of a deep ravine in Tan-wan, Carcar City but
unfortunately, Jacqueline's body was still never recovered. Apart from that, Francisco Juan
Larrañaga, alias Paco; Josmar Aznar; Rowen Adlawan alias Wesley; Alberto Caño alias Allan
Pahak; Ariel Balansag; and brothers James Andrew Uy alias "MM" and James Anthony Uy alias
"Wang-Wang" are the suspect of the crime, they were convicted of murder and sentenced to
death by lethal injection on February 3, 2004.

2. I believe that Francisco Juan Larrañaga alias Paco, a man of dual Filipino and Spanish Citizenship
is innocent of the murder case of Chiong sister. According to the documentary on rappler
named 'Give up Tomorrow' Paco stated that he was not given a fair fight against the lethal
injection given to him. Also, when paco's sister and her husband told the story of how it was
started it is clearly said that paco was clueless at first, because there are 4 men surrounded him
with guns that they said they're all police but wearing civilian clothes and showed to the sister
of paco their expired police ID as well as having no warrant of arresting paco, in addition, paco
was in his school when the alleged crime happened so the point is how did he went to two
places at the same time that has probably 350 miles away where supposedly the crime
happened? Furthermore, at Paco's side they have more than 35 witnesses that agreed to him
that he was nowhere near Cebu on July 16, 1997 the school attendance record also showed
some evidences of his in their school. The documentary said that there are 42 witnesses of him
signed affidavits stating that they were with paco in Manila while the alleged crime was
happening in Cebu.

3. I conclude, there was no proper administration of justice on both sides because the Chiong
family may also have a hidden secret. According to the documentary from the rappler, Paco’s
sister again stated that the Chiong family was not actually seeking for the right justice of their
daughters but rather actively working towards the conviction of an innocent boy which leads
paco's sister to think of the theory that the Chiong family was just hiding something especially
the father of 2 Chiong siblings. to explain further Mr. Chiong was called to testify against
 something in front of the Congressional committee on dangerous drugs but before that
happened his two daughters went missing, so that means it may be just a ploy to stop the
testimony of Mr. Chiong for the people to shift their attention to his missing daughters.
