MANILA\u2014 A suspended Catholic priest detained for three days over a criminal charge of \u201cbooking\u201d a 13-year-old girl for sex is out of jail.<\/p>\n

But an archbishop said the Church has not and will not pay the bail for Monsignor Arnel Lagarejos of the Diocese of Antipolo.<\/p>\n

Archbishop Oscar Cruz, head of the Church\u2019s clergy dispensation office, said its policy is priests accused of any criminal offence are responsible for their own legal costs.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot even one centavo,\u201d said Cruz, the Church\u2019s lead investigator in Lagarejos\u2019 case.<\/p>\n

Lagarejos, who is facing a human trafficking case, was released from police custody yesterday after posting P120,000 bail.<\/p>\n

As far as he knows, the prelate said the money came from the priest\u2019s family.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe is now in a private house resting because he feels exhausted,\u201d Cruz said.<\/p>\n

The archbishop, however, said that a scenario that Lagarejos would try to escape and leave the country is \u201cfar-fetched\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cHumanly speaking that is what I know. He is not in a physical condition to do so,\u201d he said. \u201cI take the word of my right person there that he is not feeling well.\u201d<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_post_nav admin_label=”Post Navigation” in_same_term=”off” hide_prev=”off” hide_next=”off” prev_text=”PREVIOUS ARTICLE” next_text=”NEXT ARTICLE” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” \/][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
