MAN FACES ILLEGAL RECRUITMENT CHARGES
CHARGES were filed in court against a man who purportedly duped six persons into working abroad although he has no authority to do so.
William Medicielo will be facing trial on charges of large-scale illegal recruitment.
No bail was recommended.
In his resolution, Asst. City Prosecutor Ernesto Narido found probable cause to indict Medicielo.
Narido took into consideration the receipts of payment signed by Medicielo.
One of the complainants, Rochelle Wong, gave P175,000 to Medicielo upon the latter’s demand.
Medicielo told Wong that the amount was to be used for processing her documents and other fees.
However, Wong was never deployed.
Medicielo allegedly received a total of P335,000 from the complainants.
The transactions transpired sometime in 2010./REPORTER ADOR VINCENT S. MAYOL

3 HURT IN CARMEN SHOOTING
THREE friends, including a 14-year-old boy and a 16-year-old girl, were wounded in a shooting incident in barangay Cogon East, Carmen town, northern Cebu.

One of the victims, Amado Rosauro, 20, denied that they belong to a gang, said PO2 Jezrhel Into of the Carmen police .
The victim sustained gunshot wounds on their bodies. They were rushed to the hospital, while the assailants fled.
