The Philippine National Police Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) arrested a faith healer in Cavite, following a complaint from a patient regarding its alleged fraudulent scheme.

According to Cavite CIDG Chief Lt. Col. Mark Jason Gatdula, aside from offering healing services, the faith healer was also selling amulets, locally known as anting-anting, as protection against bullets.

Gatdula added that the faith healer also possesses unlicensed guns.

“Pinagyabang po ng ating albularyo ang kanyang mga di-lisensiyadong baril kagaya ng caliber 357, 45, at ng 22,” he said

[“Our faith healer boasted his unlicensed firearms, including a 357, 45, and 22 caliber revolver.”]

Hence, the authorities arrested him. The faith healer is currently in CIDG custody and will face charges for violating Republic Act 10591 o Comprehensive Firearms and Ammunition Law.
