	Bishop Condemns Dipolog Priest's Misconduct in US By Francis T. Wakefield Tempo June 19, 2008 http://www.tempo.com.ph/news.php?aid=38806 Dipolog City Bishop Jose R. Manguiran has revoked the faculties earlier bestowed on a New Jersey-based priest due to allegations of abuses and misconduct. In his report submitted to the Catholic Bishops Conference of the Philippines (CBCP), Manguiran saidhe has sanctioned 37-year-old Fr. Reynaldo M. Pardillada and restricted him to the Catholic convent of his local church over the priest's alleged abuses and misconduct while serving at the Epiphany Church, in Cliffside Park, New Jersey. KPSC Radio Manila in Southern California first broke the news over Catholic-run Veritas 846 last June 9 after the Archdiocese of Newark suspended the concerned clergyman from is ministry on a complaint from a 32-year old woman who also hails from Dipolog City. The woman reported to the Archdiocese the alleged abuses and misconduct of Pardillada. "I wrote already to the Archbishop of Newark asking for an apology for Pardillada's scandal," the prelate said. Manguiran said the incident is a disgrace not only for the Dipolog Clergy but also in their local church. Pardillada is now living in his parents' house in Dipolog City, he added.
