BY LEX MANALO<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n JUSTICE Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla yesterday revealed that another cult in a secluded island in Zamboanga is exploiting children.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Remulla said the leaders and followers of the group are sexually using children.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Justice secretary expressed deep concern over the rampant issue of child sexual exploitation in the country.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n His remarks were prompted by the disturbing reports of alleged sexual abuses linked to a “doomsday cult” in Surigao del Norte, the Socorro Bayanihan Services Inc. (SBSI). <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to Remulla, the charges against the SBSI are not isolated incidents, rather, they exemplify a distressing pattern that extends to other regions. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n He revealed that a similar pattern of sexual predation had recently emerged on an island in Zamboanga, an incident that had gone unreported until now. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n “Ang tinatawag na kulto sa Surigao del Norte ay hindi bagong pangyayari. Kamakailan lamang, mga dalawa o tatlong linggo na ang nakakaraan, mayroon ding ganitong pangyayari sa isang isla sa Zamboanga. Ito ay isang epidemya sa buong Pilipinas kung saan ang mga bata ay biktima ng pang-aabuso at sa totoo lang, marami sa mga ito ay incestuous rape, isa pang problema natin,” Remulla said.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Remulla refused to give more details on the supposed cult in Zamboanga pending investigation and validation. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n He assured the public that the government is actively engaged in discussions on how to address the issue of child sexual abuse. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" BY LEX MANALO JUSTICE Secretary Jesus Crispin Remulla yesterday revealed that another cult in a secluded island in Zamboanga is exploiting children.
