TIMELINE OF THE PROCESS

Rome suggested for another hearing on the UTANES case to add more weight to the documents previously submitted in 1996.  Cardinal Sin designated Most Rev. Socrates Villegas as Episcopal Delegate to head the Panel of Investigators that would conduct the hearing on the Utanes case.  With him as members were Msgr. Geronimo Reyes, Fr. Samson Silloriquez, OAR, Fr. Honorato Castigador, OP, Fr. Alex Amandy, and S. Maria Consuelo Alvino, RVM.  A Medical Panel was likewise present, composed of Dr. Ramon Sin, Pathologist; Dr. Joselynna Quimpo, Endocrinologist; Dr. Tony Ignacia, Pathologist.  The hearing was held on 23 July 2003. Invited to be witnesses in the interview by the panelists were those who knew Mrs. Utanes personally.  Results of the hearing were forwarded to Rome.
