BACOLOD CITY, Philippines — Bishop Patricio Buzon of the Diocese of Bacolod has warned the public about a person introducing himself as a missionary priest.

Buzon, in a statement on Thursday, Jan. 16, said a certain Rev. Fr. Mario D. Divina, who presents himself as a missionary priest of the Chaplaincy of the Holy Trinity in Bago City, Negros Occidental, is not a priest of the Roman Catholic Church, and consequently is not a cleric of the diocese.
