Upon returning to the Philippines in mid-December with his bride, Manotoc was bound by the country's law, which does not recognize divorces. He and his wife each lived with their parents but continued to meet nearly every day. Since her husband disappeared, Imee is known to have done two things: she called Manotoc's lawyer and arranged for the return to the palace of her marriage certificate, and she phoned Manotoc's brother Dini to tell him that she had given one of Tommy's shirts to a psychic to meditate over. The psychic, she said, had declared he was well and with friends.
