“Just picking your brain, that’s not supposed to be answered. As for people disappointed because I accepted the role, I don’t regret it. You can quit saying I didn’t do my research because I did. I know this would raise safety awareness and anyone who really knew me knows how paranoid I am when it comes to that matter. And as an actress, I focused a lot on how the family felt to be able to act my best in this film.. Not biased on any side. I was just being professional. Both sides went through pain and I feel so sorry. Let’s not forget though, without all the ifs and buts.. no matter who did it, it happened. 😔 2 sisters disappeared and only one lifeless body was found. If that were to happen to my sisters I’d wake up everyday wanting to die instead of them. Nothing would keep me sane. I would die.”
‘Jacqueline Comes Home’ is about the Chiong family and the sisters’ alleged rape and murder.
A 2012 film titled ‘Give Up Tomorrow’ meanwhile tells the side of the accused Francisco “Paco” Larrañaga and six others.
