My name is Boyu, short for Boy Yuchengco, aka Alfonso SyCip Yuchengco, Jr. (*Chinoy is a contraction of Chinese Pinoys.)
Two days after Senator Ping Lacson’s “privilege” speech, I was contacted by one of our security people who had spoken with a former PAOCTF (Presidential Anti-Organised Crime Task Force.) member. This agent confirmed basically what we knew even then. It was me that Estrada had ordered “kidnapped”. Yes, kidnapped, not just arrested. They mistook my brother Tito for me, primarily due to the fact that my brother, Tito, and I have the same first name “Alfonso”. I am Alfonso, Jr. and my brother Tito is Alfonso III. The nickname “Boy” is given to Juniors in the family. My brother, who worked at Rizal Commercial Banking Corporation (RCBC) at the time, was also named after my father, Chairman Alfonso Yuchengco of RCBC.
As a result, when these men came to RCBC looking for “Boy Yuchengco,” all they got was: “Boy Yuchengco? There’s no Boy Yuchengco here.”
Media in general, just can’t understand why my father never went after Estrada “long after the intimidation factor disappeared following Estrada’s ouster from the presidency”. (Quote from Daily Inquirer editorial)
Well, why do you think the Chinese are favorite victims of Kidnap-For- Ransom gangs and Government crooks? One, we will do anything for our children, especially when our sons are threatened, especially when the son involved is the favorite son. Two, even if Estrada had been ousted from the presidency, who says the “intimidation factor had disappeared”? Remember, you guys set your criminals free! Free to commit more crimes, more intimidation. Free to send their goons after us. Three, We Chinese are not Ninoy. We have learned, that in the Philippines, “Kami ay laging Nag-iisa!” We cannot expect protection from the authorities, being aware. that the authorities themselves are involved. It’s as if GSIS paid the Lopezes for MERALCO, even though the Lopezes never wanted to sell to GSIS and GSIS sent people to threaten the life of one of the Lopez scions. to force the sale anyway.
Speaking of the Lopezes, when TITA (Cory) took over, they got everything
back that Marcos took from them. No questions asked, no red tapes.
However, the shares of PLDT taken from my father by Marcos (Yes, this
happened once before!) and given to Cojuangco to hold in his (Marcos’)
name is now even part of what was sold to First (Metro) Pacific.
Why the “Kamag-Anak Shuffle”? This is one reason I cannot kowtow to
TITA. Not that I blame her. However, she was too naive. She allowed a lot of people, relatives and others, to ruin what could have been a real honest-to-goodness bloodless revolution. One that could have finally changed Filipino Society for the better and for good.
As for the rest of my story, I do not have first hand knowledge as to what did or did not happen. I only know of the threat to myself because I had been warned by one of my sisters then to lay low. Another thing that showed their low intelligence was pretending to arrest me on “trumped-up drug charges.” It wouldn’t have worked. I was in ReHab then, had been there for some time. In fact, I was already in the HalfWay House of New Beginnings when all that was happening. So, how does one arrest someone for drugs when the person is already inside the ReHab?
I want to draw some of the flak from my father who is now quite old and a bit frail. I also want “them” to leave my brother alone. – ?
