MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Chito Gascon of the Philippines Commission on Human Rights (CHR) has finally broken his silence on the recent police raid in Ozamiz City which led to the deaths of suspected drug lord Mayor Parojinog, his wife and others, as well as the arrest of daughter and Vice Mayor Nova.

The warrants of arrest were served at dawn.

The CHR Commissioner told The Adobo Chronicles that the dawn raid was a clear violation of human rights.

“Eating and sleeping are the most basic of human rights” Gascon said. ‘The dawn raid deprived the suspected criminals of their right to a full 8 hours of sleep. The police should have waited for sunrise to serve the warrants.”

You can really count on CHR to protect your human rights.

Earlier, Senator Franklin Drilon also questioned the serving of the warrants at dawn.

Catholic Bishops Appeal To Filipino Catholics To Come To The Aid Of Suspected Pedophile Priest

August 1, 2017 Pol Pinoy Leave a comment

MANILA, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – The Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP) is known for dipping its finger in civil and political issues — from President Duterte’s war on drugs to the proliferation of fake news on social media. It usually comes in Pastoral letters read in churches nationwide.

The Adobo Chronicles has just learned that a new pastoral letter will be read this coming Sunday, urging Filipino Catholics to contribute generously to the collection basket to help with the court expenses of one parish priest named Msgr. Ariel Lagarejos.

Lagarejos was arrested after an alleged attempt to sexually abuse a 13-year-old girl in Marikina City on Friday. He was arrested in a joint operation by the Marikina police and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) around 6:30 p.m. at Blue Wave Mall in Barangay Sto. Niño in Marikina.

It is alleged that Lagarejos sought the services of the victim through a 16-year-old pimp. The victim’s mother, however, reported it to the police after she learned of the transaction.

Operatives from the Marikina police women and children protection division and DSWD set up the entrapment operation against Lagarejos.

“If possible,” the Pastoral letter reads, ” we urge the faithful to write fat checks instead of just digging in their pockets or purses for small change. We have to come to the aid of a beleaguered man of God. It is every Catholic person’s duty to do so.”

So this Sunday, don’t leave home without your checkbook.

OZAMIZ CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Ozamiz City Vice Mayor Nova Princess Parojinog, who was arrested in a police raid for suspected involvement in the illegal drug trade, has escaped, according to the Philippine National Police (PNP).

Her escape continues to baffle authorities.

In a recently-released video of the police raid, Parojinog was seen swallowing a white object as she was being taken into custody.

A PNP spokesperson told The Adobo Chronicles that Parojinog escaped by flying out of the police van as she was being taken to the police headquarters. She was heard shouting “Darna!”

Darna is a fictional comics character in which a woman named Narda swallows a white stone while screaming “Darna” which transforms her into a flying superheroine.
