A FILIPINO priest, who was suspended after being charged with theft and possession of pornographic materials, issued a public apology.
Reverend Father Lowe Dongor, in his letter, made a plea to critics and media to spare his family from incessant media attention.
Dongor opened up after a year of silence since he fled to US that had the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) charged him with one count of felony act of Unlawful Flight to Avoid Prosecution (UFAP).
Dongor, in a handwritten “My Apology” letter, said: “My heart is in grief and I know that yours as well. I am so sorry. I want to apologize to all the people who has believed and supported me for the damaged I have done to you all, to the church and to myself.”
