What makes Western men travel 7000 miles to meet women?
by Andrew Jones
My father Andrew Charles Jones, 60, met a lady Eden Joy Trongco on Facebook .
He started talking to her in January 2015. He took his first trip to the Philippines at the end of March and met her at a hotel.
They treated him like a king. He came back saying he was their great white hope. Well, he was very excited said he was gonna marry her, and he started buying her tons of gifts.
He filled five suitcases with women's clothing and perfumes. He even bought a wedding dress and diamond rings.
Well, this time at the end of July, he went to her village Sallapadan in Abra Phillipines. He was so happy and in love.
On August 17, he texted me at 8.30 am and said he was coming home. He also changed his plane ticket to come home the next day so something happened.
Then at 9:05 I got a phone call and the lady who says to me, your father is dead. Come fetch his body .
They started sending me pictures of him dead and the embassy didn't help me.
My uncle had to fly there to verify his body . This is so sad cause I don't even know how he died.
They have not given us an autopsy report. The first story I was given is your father fainted and is just dead. Then he was depressed and maybe he drink too much and died. The third, maybe he had a heart attack. No real answer which is crazy. I have called the embassy to see if they can call the MD but he either does not answer and keeps avoiding are calls
All his stuff was gone. Also ten thousand dollars in cash is gone too. I just received a video of autopsy i requested. Its so sad.
PS- From the time he met her he even started sending money to her western union which was weird . Eden has three Face books and it looks like she only checks two of them. There may be no way to prove how he died but I know my dad was way too happy. He was excited to get married to Eden. He felt in love. The weird thing was Eden texted me before my father went there and asked what would I do if my father ever had a heart attack. I said oh don't talk like that. I don't know if that was a warning or a joke.
