Senate to look into ‘mass grave’ of alleged cult in Surigao
Published By admin with Comments 0
Sen. Ronald dela Rosa will be flying to Surigao del Norte province on Saturday to personally lead the search for a supposed mass grave of a group whose leaders were accused of forcing teenage girls to marry older men.
In a mobile phone interview, the chair of the Senate public order and dangerous drugs committee on Friday said he also wanted to directly speak with members of the Socorro Bayanihan Services Inc. (SBSI) to check on their situation.
Many SBSI members had refused to leave their enclave in an upland village in Socorro town even after their leader, Jey Rence Quilario, and three other officials of the group were detained at the Senate for allegedly lying during a Senate inquiry.
