Activist Fr. Robert Reyes said the film Jacqueline Comes Home has done more good for the Chiong 7, the seven men accused of the rape-slay of Marijoy and Jacqueline Chiong.

Reyes told reporters in an interview that the ‘lies’ in the movie ignited the people’s curiosity to know the story behind the Chiong rape-murder case.

“It was a good thing with bad intentions but it had a good effect. It made the people ask questions if that was the truth or the truth lies somewhere else,” Reyes said.

On Sunday, the supporters and families of the Chiong 7 gathered for a prayer walk led by Reyes.

This is the third time that Reyes led a prayer walk for the Chiong 7.

“I am surprised. The first run, we just had a handful of Paco (Francisco Juan Larrañaga, one of the convicted) and the other six guys’ family and friends. The second run was even a smaller handful. This one, this is not a handful,” Reyes added.

Nearly 200 individuals joined the prayer walk on Sunday (August 12).

The walk was organized by the witnesses of the accused, headed by Monalisa Del Gallego-Jarque.
