SEX on THE BEACH banned in BORACAY Philippines, Western couple arrested

Going topless and having sex on the world famous beaches of Boracay Island? Don't even think about it. It can get you in trouble for indecent behavior.

Two foreign tourists were apprehended on the beachfront near Station 2 in Barangay Balabag at around 2:20 am Friday, November 18, after an immigration officer caught them having sex on the beach.

Immigration Officer I Aldwin Pascua told the police that he saw 44-year-old Briton "Irene"* sitting on Italian "Steffano"* and engaging in an "act of intimacy".

Police said the "immigration officer approached the suspects, who were both naked, to stop doing the act. However, the foreigners went farther at the shoreline and waved their hands, trying to tease the immigration officer."

The foreigners met hours before and had a few drinks prior to their arrest. They were charged by responding policemen from the Boracay Tourist Assistance Center with grave scandal.

Article 200 of Philippine Penal Code defines grave scandal as "the performance or doing any act which is highly scandalous as to offend against decency and good custom."

Investigation showed that Steffano stayed in a small resort in Station 2, while Irene stayed in a resort in main road Station 1 in Barangay Balabag.

The tourism department earlier urged the establishments in Boracay to post signs or warnings "to be happy and enjoy while on the island" and to engage in certain activities privately in hotel rooms. – Rappler.com

Sex tourist faces 190 years for Philippines porn shoot

A former Santa Ana Unified School District substitute teacher from the United States who went to the Philippines to have sex with two girls and produce videos of the criminal behavior is facing up to 190 years in federal prison when sentenced Feb. 27.

Robert Ruben Ornelas, 65, of Santa Ana, was convicted Thursday of two counts each of engaging in sexual conduct in a foreign place and possessing child pornography and three counts of producing child pornography, according to U.S. Attorney’s Office spokesman Thom Mrozek.

Ornelas traveled to the Philippines multiple times and was convicted in connection with trips he took in 2006, 2008 and 2012, Mrozek said. The girls he sexually assaulted were as young as 8, according to the evidence presented at trial.

Ornelas videotaped molestation of the victims and returned home with them, Mrozek said.

Ornelas was a substitute teacher in the Santa Ana Unified School District from 1992 to 2003, and coached a local girls’ softball team, according to the FBI.

Authorities began investigating him in 2013, when they received a tip he had a large quantity of child pornography, Mrozek said.

Ornelas was charged in state court that year with sexually assaulting a female relative over a six-year period, starting when she was 5. Orange County prosecutors said then that the case would probably be turned over to the federal government because he would face more time behind bars.

BREAKING NEWS: Korean arrested for alleged murder of 3 Koreans in Pampanga, He was found in Parañaque City Philippines

A South Korean national was arrested in Parañaque City on Thursday in connection with  the murder of three compatriots in Pampanga province last month.

A team from the Bureau of Immigration (BI) found Park Wang-yeol, 38, inside his apartment at Arista Place, Barangay Dongalo.

BI Commissioner Jaime Morente said Park was wanted for allegedly killing three fellow Koreans, one of them a woman, in Bacolor, Pampanga, on Oct. 11.

Morente said officials from the South Korean embassy sought the bureau’s assistance to have Park arrested.

“We will deport him as his continued presence here poses a risk to public safety and security, unless there are criminal cases pending here in the country that would prevent the implementation of the deportation order,” he said.

Immigration records showed that Park arrived in the country on Sept. 16.

Almost a month later, the bodies of the three Koreans were found at a sugarcane field in Barangay Maliwalo, Bacolor, on Oct. 11.

The victims—Sim Tae-so, Maeng Jung-yeon, and Park Young-pi—bore gunshot wounds in the head and bruises on the body.

The case brought to six the total number of South Koreans found dead this year in the Philippines.

War vs Drugs Update: Angeles City BREAKING NEWS American held with 6 others, 3 Filipinos Killed in AC, Philippines

ANGELES CITY -- Three suspected drug pushers were killed while six other persons, including a woman, were arrested in anti-drug operations here and nearby Mabalacat City last Thursday and Friday.
   
Supt. Nolie Asuncion, chief of the city police Intelligence Branch here, identified the fatalities as Daryl Pido alias “Rambo Muklo”, Mamay Manticayan, and a certain Rashid in Barangay Balibago.
   
Pido sensed the buy-bust operation immediately after selling P2,000 worth of shabu to a poseur-buyer and shouted to his companions, “Takas na may kalaban!” The suspects ran towards their motorcycles but upon seeing the police back-up team, they allegedly pulled their guns and fired shots. The policemen reportedly retaliated, killing the three suspects.
   
Found from the suspects’ bodies were one .38 caliber revolver, two .22 caliber revolvers, 19 live ammunition, four fired cartridges, four plastic sachets of suspected shabu worth P16,000 and a sachet containing a Eurodin tablet.

In Barangay Malaba­nias here, two persons, including an American national, were caught in the act of sniffing shabu.

Chief inspector Samuel Quibete identified the arrested suspects as Michael Garong, 37, and Robert Wayne Boling, 36, who were caught inside Room 310 of Gogo Hotel in Barangay Malabanias.
   
In nearby Mabalacat City, three men and a woman were arrested in buy-bust operations.
   
Supt. Juritz Rara, Mabalacat chief of police, identified the suspects as Derick Natividad, 36; Wilson Alcantara, 34; Marlon Marshall, 35; and Joylin Almario, 26.
   
Senior Inspector Mel­vin Florida Jr. said two medium-size sachets of suspected shabu were seized from Natividad, two sachets from Alcantara, three sachets from Marshall, and a sachet of the suspected illegal drug from Almario.
   
The arrested suspects are facing charges for violation of Republic Act 9165, the Comprehensive Dangerous Drugs Act of 2002.
