SAN NARCISO, Zambales — Joint operatives of this town’s police station and the La Carlota City Police Station in Negros Occidental arrested Sunday the Number 1 Most Wanted Person in all of Zambales.
San Narciso police chief Major Jonathan C. Bardaje identified the suspect as Angel Obispo II y Dacayo, 36, married, and resident of Barangay Sag-Ang, La Castellana, Negros Occidental.
The suspect was arrested by virtue of alias warrant of arrest issued Judge Marifi P. Chua of RTC Branch 70, Iba, Zambales for the rape under Criminal Case Nos. RTC-11093-I and RTC-11095, dated Dec. 28, 2018, with no bail recommended.
On July 17, 2017 the mother of the 16-year-old victim took her to the San Narciso police to report of her being sexually molested on April 11, 2016, by a certain Angel Obispo.
Investigation conducted showed that the sexual molestation was repeated on July 14, 2016 and July 17, 2016 in separate places in the victim’s house.
A case for violation of RA 7610 5 (b) was filed against suspect Obispo on July 17, 2017 before the Provincial Prosecutors Office in Iba, Zambales.
The suspect had since fled, until the victim’s mother herself informed the police that Obispo was hiding in La Carlota City prompting the San Narciso police to coordinate with the police in La Carlota City Police Station through Facebook messenger that led to the suspect’s apprehension.
Obispo is now under the custody of the San Narciso Municipal Police Station.
