To prove fidelity to wife, man chops off his penis

MALASIQUI, Pangasinan — Wanting to prove his fidelity to his estranged wife, he sacrificed his manhood — he cut off his penis, wrapped it in newspaper and gave it to her.

The severed three-inch penis is now in the custody of this town’s police after Evelyn Palaganas Mamaril, 35, "surrendered" it to them last Saturday night. The police sought the help of an embalmer to preserve it in a bottle.

Evelyn was in her parents’ house here when something wrapped in newspaper was thrown through the window. She was shocked to find the severed male organ.

Outside the house, her estranged husband George shouted, "Piano ag ka la manududa ya onkakaraw ak (So you will not suspect I am courting another girl)."

Her neighbors saw George walking away, grimacing in pain while covering his bloodied crotch.

The couple have been estranged for three years now after Evelyn’s parents prodded her to live with them because George was jobless and thus, incapable of supporting her and their two children.

George could not be still located. — Eva Visperas
