FOR what may be his refusal to hand over his cellular phones to roadside robbers, a priest on his way to visit his sister in Cansojong, Talisay City was shot three times in a dimly lit portion of the Cebu South Coastal Road past 8 o’clock last night.
Fr. Jovencio Rabusa, 46, died at the Talisay District Hospital some 15 minutes after he was rushed there by policemen who responded to the shooting alert. He was a member of the team ministry in Naga and was once the parish priest of Santander town.

The robbers took away his two cellular phones, which were the old and cheap Nokia models, but did not take his wallet and wrist watch.
The priest was casually attired in green shirt and cargo shorts in camouflage design.
He was off from his parish work in Naga on Mondays. As he was wont to do on his dayoff, he visited his younger sister Susan Zaragosa in nearby Talisay. Only this time, he did not reach his sister’s house.
