Case Unclosed kasama si Arnold Clavio

Episode on March 12, 2009 Thursday night after Saksi Security was tight on the day she was executed. Eight policemen, including two armed with machine guns, stood at the gates of the prison with two guard dogs. Police cars and motorcycles patrolled the streets apparently to dissuade any of the 75,000 Filipinos in the country from protesting. Flor Contemplacion, a 42-year old maid was hanged to death for murder. She was accused of killing Delia Maga, another OFW, and her four-year old Singaporean ward. It was a bitter ending for Flor as she was hanged at 6:00 in the morning of March 17, 1995 together with three male drug traffickers. Although Flor confessed to the murders, it was alleged that she did so under duress. Until now, that allegation is a mystery. For his first assignment on Case Unclosed, multi-awarded broadcast journalist Arnold Clavio investigates once again the case of Flor Contemplacion. Join him as he travels to Singapore to get a glimpse of the world Flor lived in before she died. Visit Changi Prison where Flor was incarcerated for almost four years before she was hanged.

Find out what happened to Flor's husband who is now in prison, and their four children three of whom are also in jail. Visit Delia's husband who, since her wife's death, has become a drunk. Listen to an interview of Lucena Sacerno who was once an inmate of Changi Prison who said she saw Flor being drugged before court hearings and an interview of Maximo Reyes, former chief of the medico-legal division of the National Bureau of Investigation who did the autopsy on Flor's remains in the Philippines.

Matindi ang seguridad sa bilangguan noong araw na siya'y binitay. Walong pulis ang nagbantay sa labas ng preso kabilang ang dalawa na armado ng mga machine gun at dalawang aso. Tuloy-tuloy ring nag-ronda ang mga pulis sakay ng mga kotse't motorsiklo para umano pigilang magprotesta ang humigit-kumulang 75,000 Pinoy sa lugar. Si Flor Contemplacion, 42 taong gulang at nagtrabaho bilang kasambahay ay binitay sa Singapore dahil sa kasong murder. Pinatay niya umano ang kaniyang kapwa OFW na si Delia Maga at ang apat na taong gulang na alaga nitong Singaporean. Mapait ang naging katapusan ni Flor nang bigtihin siya alas sais ng umaga ng March 17, 1995 kasama ng tatlong lalaking drug trafficker. Bagama't inamin ni Flor na siya nga ang gumawa ng krimen, may mga nagsasabing pinilit lang siyang sabihin ito. Hanggang ngayon, malaking katanungan pa rin kung may katotohanan ang dudang ito. Para sa kaunaunahang kaso na kaniyang bubuksan sa Case Unclosed, ang premyadong mamamahayag na si Arnold Clavio, muling sisiyasatin ang pagbitay kay Flor Contemplacion. Samahan siya sa Singapore sa kaniyang paglibot sa mundong ginalawan ni Flor bago ito namatay. Dalawin ang Changi Prison kung saan napiit si Flor nang halos apat na taon bago siya binitay. Mamasyal sa Veerasamy Road at Gangsa Road kung saan minsang pinag-usapan ni Flor at ng kaibigan niyang si Delia ang kanilang mga pangarap. Kumustahin ang asawa ni Flor na kasalukuyang nakakulong at ang apat nilang anak na ang tatlo ay nakakulong din ngayon. Bisitahin ang asawa ni Delia Maga na madalas nang naglalasing mula nang mamatay ang kaniyang kabiyak. Pakinggan ang panayam kay Lucena Sacerno, ang Filipinang minsan ding nakulong sa Changi Prison na nagsabing nakita niyang sinasaksakan ng droga si Flor sa loob ng kulungan tuwing may hearing ito para mawala ito sa tamang pag-iisip at ang panayam kay Maximo Reyes, ang dating hepe ng medico-legal division ng National Bureau of Investigation na nagsagawa ng awtopsiya sa mga labi ni Flor dito sa Pilipinas. At sa direksyon ni Jon Red, Best Jury Prize awardee sa Mondiale dela Video sa Brussels, Belgium, tunghayan ang pagsasadula sa mga huling sandali sa buhay ni Flor Contemplacion.
