BAMBANG, Nueva Vizcaya – After almost six months, police and social welfare officials filed a case of unjust vexation before the provincial prosecutor’s office against a Catholic priest who reportedly bit a guest relations officer (GRO) on the lips while he was drunk inside a videoke bar here in July last year.

The case, docketed as I.S. No. 5356-B-2008, was transmitted last Feb. 20 by Chief Inspector Joseph de la Cruz, this town’s police chief, and Myrna Pinaroc, municipal social welfare officer, against Fr. Elmer Saludares, parish priest of Saint Anne Parish in Barangay Malasin in neighboring Dupax del Norte town.

Saludares was accused of biting the lips of Genalyn Abella while at the Estrella’s Videoke Bar in San Antonio on July 17 last year.

He then went wild and refused to pay his bills when he was accosted by Garcia (then described in the report as a bouncer) about what he did to Abella. The priest, the bar workers claimed, even challenged Garcia to a gun duel.
