EP 35: A Hanging Suspicion — The Story of Flor Contemplacion | Philippines’ Most Shocking Stories

Hosted by reporter Lyza Aquino, this episode tells the story of Flor Contemplacion, the Filipina domestic worker whose 1995 execution in Singapore sparked a national outcry and one of the most heated diplomatic disputes between the Philippines and Singapore. Contemplacion was convicted of killing fellow Filipina domestic worker Delia Maga and 4-year-old Nicholas Huang in 1991. She was sentenced to death and hanged at Changi Prison on March 17, 1995, despite last-minute appeals from President Fidel V. RamosF and calls to delay the execution. A Philippine fact-finding commission later questioned the evidence and circumstances surrounding Contemplacion’s conviction, including conflicting forensic findings on Maga’s death. Singapore stood by the conviction and disputed the Philippine findings. “Philippines’ Most Shocking Stories” is a YouTube series from ABS-CBN News and Current Affairs that looks back into real-life events that stunned the nation — stories that made headlines, triggered investigations and sparked public outcry.
