🔍 The Search for Truth
The narrative continues with the family's relentless search for the truth about the missing sibling. They describe the challenges they faced in trying to identify the bodies of the victims, including the lack of intact teeth or other distinguishing features. The family's quest leads them to exhume bodies from the Quezon Public Cemetery, where they find death certificates stating the cause of death as cardiac arrest due to multiple gunshot wounds. The speaker reflects on the military's claims of encounters and the stories of the living who remember the events. They also mention the recovery of a body that resembled their sibling's last known clothing but were told it was not her due to the presence of a military commander's portrait, adding to the confusion and lack of closure.

The speaker expresses the pain of losing both their father and sibling, with the latter's fate remaining unknown.
