St. Joseph Seminary graduates 15

Fifteen seminarians graduated with the degree of Bachelor of Science in Philosophy at the St. Joseph Seminary College of the Diocese of Dumaguete during its 51st liturgical graduation exercises Monday.

Dumaguete Bishop Julito Cortes was the main celebrant and preacher at the Mass concelebrated with other members of the local clergy, and the SJSC alumni-priests from religious congregations.

Msgr. Glenn Corsiga, rector of the St. Joseph Seminary College, said it was the largest batch of graduates of the seminary in over a decade and a half.

PNP, AFP urged to observe protocol
in arrest, questioning of suspects

The Commission on Human Rights in Negros Oriental has appealed to members of the Philippine National Police and the Armed Forces of the Philippines, particularly the Army, to ensure that proper protocol is followed during the arrest of suspects or when a person is invited to the police station for questioning.

CHR investigator Jesus Cañete said that in several instances, protocols were breached either by the police or military, that could mean possible human rights violations by persons of authority.

He was referring to suspects in either criminal or insurgency-related cases who either voluntarily surrendered or are apprehended in the mountains and brought to the police station.
