[Blackbeard]

has the accused denied the allegation?
he should if he is innocent. if not then, that says a lot.

Kaning issue ba nga pari nang rape kadaghan na man tawn ni nahitabo oi di lang kay diri sa sugbo. Uwaw kaayo ni hunahunaon ba nga girespetuhan sa mga tawo unya mao pa diay magpa buyag. Sa mindanao sad naa say pari didto nga nanghilabot og sakristan, kunohay sugoon og massage pero lahi na diay to buhaton, pugson ang sakristan. Kani unta klase nga mga di maayong pamatasan ang wad on sa imahi sa mga pari.

That priest is supposed to be in PNP custody, not the bishop's. They should let the justice system do its job.

UPDATE: It seems that instead of turning the accused priest over to the authorities, the bishop is making their own "trial." I wonder what they'll do if ever the Church "court" finds the accused innocent.

Priest accused of rape to face church panel

MANILA, Philippines - The Archdiocese of Butuan has created a committee that will investigate the complaint of a 17-year-old girl, who claimed she was raped by a parish priest.

Butuan City Bishop Juan de Dios Pueblos said the committee will be the one to determine the recommendations, if there will be any, against parish priest Fr. Raul Cabonce.

According to “Leah” (not her real name), she was molested and raped by Cabonce inside the St. Anne Convent in Tubay, where she worked as a house help in exchange for being a scholar of the priest.

After graduating from high school, Leah ran away and took refuge from the Missionary Sisters of Mary.

She is also now in the custody of women’s group, Gabriela.

In a statement, Gabriela secretary-general Lana Linaban urged Pueblos to refrain from protecting Cabonce.

"Dalawang bagay ang kailangang gawin ni Bishop Pueblos, ang isuko si Fr. Cabonce sa mga kinauukulan para harapin ang mga kasong kriminal na isinampa laban sa kanya, at kagyat na simulan ang paglilitis kay Fr. Cabonce sa ilalim ng Church Tribunal," Linaban said.

Pueblos did not divulge the whereabouts of Cabonce. – with reports from Johnson Manabat, dzMM

^^Nice job by the Church for creating a "committee" of bishops and priests who know nothing of the law.

^ buot2x lagi na siya pud. naghimo na hinuon xa ug iyang own justice system. wala pa ngsugod ang "trial" but the verdict is so like watching a pinoy teleserye. predictable and plain BS.

couldn't they arrest Pueblos instead? for hiding an accused? he's not only tainting the church, he's insulting our constitution!

Innocent man kaha kay accused paman, so why not turn over to proper authorities aron ma investigate og tarung, mao na dira ron.

may na sila e taroy sa stick og dauban, pero di patyun, aron dauban nasad og balik the next day, and the next.

Maayo nalang to sa movie bro kay wala man to niya gi rape ang girl...

OnT: father resign nalang pagka pari, og atubanga ang pasangil...unless kun mangayo napud og kwarta ang side sa GIRL......kwarta kwarta ra gihapon ni....

OT: I checked his FB..and we have two mutual friends

Hinoon pud bro . May nalang to , pero sa case ni Cabonce , weird lang jud nga ginahan siya ana nga movie knowing nga ming protesta halos tanan mga pari nga nakadungog ani nga salida kay ang movie is anti-catholic . Laliman ka ang movie is about anang pari nakipag relasyon sa usa ka 16 anyos (minor de edad) nga ganahan si Cabonce ana nga movie then ironic pud gi akusahan nanglugos ug bata .

Kaning issue ba nga pari nang rape kadaghan na man tawn ni nahitabo oi di lang kay diri sa sugbo. Uwaw kaayo ni hunahunaon ba nga girespetuhan sa mga tawo unya mao pa diay magpa buyag. Sa mindanao sad naa say pari didto nga nanghilabot og sakristan, kunohay sugoon og massage pero lahi na diay to buhaton, pugson ang sakristan. Kani unta klase nga mga di maayong pamatasan ang wad on sa imahi sa mga pari.
