Where exactly is Ruben Ecleo Jr.?

SURIGAO CITY — The police claimed they have no idea where the former San Jose,Dinagat Island Mayor Ruben Ecleo Jr.is, and admitted they asked military assistance to effect the alias warrant arrest order. His lawyers and relatives said he is in his hometown San Jose and is not hiding contrary to reports but local media here said, they have never seen the former Mayor in the island town who together with his bodyguard were accused of parricide and murder charges, respective.

With all these confusing statements, where exactly Ruben Ecleo Jr., PBMA’s "Divine Master" is? Ecleo was charged of brutally killing his wife,Alona Bacolod in Cebu.

As this developed, kins of Alona Bacolod in Cebu expressed fear that they will not be given justice in her brutal murder following reports that politics may have already muddled the parricide and murder cases.

Earlier, Senator Robert Barbers, a close political ally of the Ecleos have stated repeatedly that he will personally surrender the 41 year old ex-Mayor and PBMA’s divine master.

Contrary to PNP CIDG-7’s claimed that they have asked military assistance to effect the alias warrant of arrest order by a Cebu Court, Army spokesman Col. Francisco Simbajon told The STAR, the military were never asked assistance by the police.

The police last week said they were seeking extra troops to effect the alias warrant of arrest order against former Mayor Ruben Ecleo Jr. and murder charges against his bodyguard, Juryven Padero.

The police claimed, alleged armed bodyguards and PBMA members are out to protect their "divine master" at all costs for the arrest.

The Cebu City Regional Trial Court which issued the alias warrant of arrest order has denied bail for the accused.

Lawyer Enrique Tandan, one of the defense lawyers of Ecleo told The STAR, that they are awaiting response by the Court of Appeals in their motion questioning the validity and merit of the Warrant of Arrest Order against their client.

But Tandan admitted that the PBMA’s "Divine Master" Ruben Ecleo, Jr. fondly called here as "Bobong", is in San Jose, Dinagat Island, Surigao del Norte.
