Head, hands of religious icon stolen
MANILA, Philippines -- An antique religious icon
in a cathedral in Masbate province named after
St. Anthony Padue, patron saint for missing and
stolen items, lost its head and hands, made of
ivory, to thieves.
...............................
This news article's kinda confusing. "Manila, Philippines" daw, eh the theft happened in Masbate. tsk!
Padue..? Where exactly is Padue..?
Padua, on the other hand, is located at Veneto region in Italy, Padua is the setting for most of the action in Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.
................................
The Immaculate Conception icon had been in their
cathedral for the last 40 years at least, according
to Baylon. Masbate is among the poorest provinces in the country.

Had..? Icon's still there, wala nga lang ulo't kamay..
Duh.. Corrupt government officials outweigh the gold deposits and mines of the province.
