A priest died of a heart attack in Sorsogon City while attending a rally against extra-judicial killings in Sorsogon province.
Msgr. Francisco Monje said Fr. Josefino Chavenia complained of chest pains as the prayer rally was about to end around 11:45 a.m. at the provincial capitol.
Chavenia was taken to the Sorsogon Doctor’s Hospital where he died about two hours later.
Monje said his brother, Dr. Norberto Monje, tried to revive Chavenia.
Sorsogon Bishop Arturo Bastes, who led the rally, expressed grief over Chavenia’s death, saying it was very unfortunate that it occurred during the “rally for life.”
Chavenia, 58, served in various capacities in the diocese and was the parish priest of Bulan town when he died.
The Sorsogon diocese organized the prayer rally to protest the continued killings of militants in the province.
In a phone interview, Bastes said the continued killings have sown fear among the people of Sorsogon.
