What tragedies in the Church in the Philippines we have right now are not all there was apparently. But for a start, this gives us important information on how these cases had been handled by the local regular leadership. These cases include the charge of murder against Msgr. Candido Umali of St. Vincent Church in Gumaca (Quezon) in 2002 for killing an altar boy, of child abuse against Fr. Jose Belciña of St. Francis of Assisi Church in Danao City (Cebu) in 2006, and of the apparent death by suicide of Fr. Baltazar Acompañado of St. John the Evangelist Church in Naga City (Camarines Sur) in 2010. [Details can be found in the Tragedy page.]
