Problematic Woman Made Scandal Inside the Church

CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY - September 12, 2008 - A woman of unknown name and age came to San Isidro Parish - Eco Church one wet evening of September 12 during the last day for the pre Archdiocesan Youth Day (AYD) Pilgrimage Cross celebration. The woman according to witnesses was at first roaming around the dark, unlighted (lights turned off) areas outside the church proper. She was found in those areas talking to herself and seems out of her mind. Later at around 8:00 in the evening when the program of activities is about to begin and most youth have gathered together in, the woman started to catch our attention. She started to have a raised voice and acting as if a crazy "Sissa" of of Jose Rizal's Novel Noli me Tangere, but never mentioned the names of Basilio and Crispin. As she was doing her "drama" (she looked as though acting), she directly went to the statue of the Blessed Mother saying "Mamamiry, mamamiry".

"KSP lang yan" I heard one of the young people around.

When she realized everyone seems to be ignoring her, she tried to get more of our attention and went to some young ladies who participated in the activity. She having a bad smell, caused them to get scared. One of the Council member went to her and bring her out. This triggered her and started to get a little wild and started to say curses. Fr Harnifer Godinez SSJV, Youth Moderator of the parish; one of the resident priest to talk to her a bit and try to calm her. But the woman seems to get more aggressive and somehow hates priests. She rans towards Fr Harni and trying to hurt him but she was stopped by some young men. The woman eager to hurt the priest spit saliva on him and it hit on his clothes.causing other young girl to receive some. The crowd seem to get scandalized and taken aback by the woman's behavior. Very soon, the Church's security guard came and dragged her out the Church.
