THE grandson of a former Misamis Oriental governor who killed a boy in Nazareth on Friday over the child’s refusal to perform oral sex on him, has admitted to sexually abusing at least two other children before.

Nine-year old Cairistian “CJ” Balquin would have been the third boy in Alfonso Dadole III’s list of abused boys, the suspect revealed over the weekend.

Police are set on pressing murder charges against the 46-year old former philosophy teacher and ex-seminarian before the local prosecution office today.

SPO2 Glenn Pallugna of the Macasandig police said authorities would submit the affidavits of at least three witnesses to the grisly murder that took place inside Dadole’s house on Tomas Saco and 6th streets in Barangay Nazareth. Dadole confessed to repeatedly stabbing the boy because the child wouldn’t perform fellatio on him.

The suspect said he was high on drugs at that time, and he was hearing voices. Dadole said he showed the boy his privates “pero wala man siya mosogot, mao nga napongot ko, nawad-an kog maayong panghuna-huna, ug napalong akong panan-aw sa kapongot.”

He said he dragged Balquin to the kitchen and stabbed the boy to the chest. The wounded boy then managed to run upstairs, and tried to hide in the suspect’s room, he narrated. Dadole said he finished the boy off with two knives.

SPO2 Pallugna said Balquin succumbed to over 20 stab wounds. Dadole said he had thought that the boy had a thing for him because he had caught him staring at him several times. “Magsigi man siyag tan-aw sa ako, ma-o to nga ako siya nga gipagbigyan,” he said. “Nawad-an kog maayong panghuna-huna tungod sa akong kapongot, ma-o to nga akong gidunggab-dungab ang bata… Nagbasol ko, sangko sa langit, pero unsaon ta man?”

The boy, who was a neighbor, had frequented Dadole’s house because he was asked to help in household chores, and to buy things in the store.

Balquin was reportedly playing with his brother when Dadole called him to the house. Dadole said he used shabu earlier, and was hearing voices, prodding him to do what he did. The self-confessed pedophile revealed that he paid at least two other boys before to perform fellatio on him on separate occasions.

Dadole said he met and picked up the earlier victims at Divisoria. “Akong gigamit, pero akong gibayran,” he said.
Police said Dadole’s account was consistent with the evidence investigators found in the house. SPO2 Pallugna said the murdered child was found in the suspect’s bedroom, and there were bloodstains everywhere––from the kitchen, staircase up to Dadole’s room.

The self-confessed pedophile, a grandson of the late governor Alfonso Dadole, nearly became a Roman Catholic priest. He entered a seminary in Cebu after he earned a bachelor’s degree in philosophy at the Jesuitun Xavier University here in 1996. He said he subsequently taught philosophy at the Far Eastern University.
