MAN SUSPECTED OF CARJACKING A HEARSE PLEADS GUILTY TO A LESSER CHARGE: CASKET THEFT

imageLos Angeles, California (The Adobo Chronicles) – A man allegedly stole a hearse that contained a casket during a funeral in South Park Saturday morning, according to Los Angeles Police Department officials.

The hearse was stolen from the Ebenezer Baptist Church, located at 4901 Avalon Blvd. in South L.A., pictured, on Dec. 27, 2014.

Witnesses said an older man climbed into the unoccupied hearse and drove off. The vehicle’s motor was running before he entered it. Funeral attendees then followed the hearse, managed to get the man to pull over, and eventually recovered the funeral car and casket. The car thief was apprehended by L.A. police.

Appearing before a judge on Monday, the carjacking suspect pleaded not guilty to auto theft, saying it was never his intention to steal the funeral car.

He, however, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge: stealing a casket.

Because the casket contained a human body at the time of the theft, prosecutors are preparing a new charge: kidnapping.

Only in L.A.!

Quezon City, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles) – Philippine President NoyNoy Aquino, considered the most high-ranking eligible bachelor in his country, looked dashing in a black tuxedo at his wedding at the Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral in Quezon City on Tuesday.

It was not only a star-studded wedding but also a pompous ceremony officiated by eight bishops and seven priests.

The bride, actress Marian Rivera, was all smiles as she marched towards Aquino who was patiently waiting at the altar. Rivera wore an elaborate designer wedding gown and tiara reminiscent of many royal weddings. The Michael Cinco dress cost Two Million Pesos.

Of course, presidential sister Kris Aquino was in the house, wearing a bright yellow strapless gown. She was seated in the front pew, along with son Bimby, a famous child actor.

Even members of the presidential security detail all looked handsome in their barong tagalog, the traditional formal wear for Filipino men.

The groom couldn’t be more happy that the president stood as best man. The groom, Dingdong Dantes, also an actor, is a very good friend of Aquino.
