Bishop Leonardo Medroso of the Tagbilaran Diocese, asks people to join in the prayer rally on July 29, 2008. This prayer rally is to be in protest to the Reproductive Bill as it promotes the legalization of abortion.
As quoted by Bishop Medroso, “This bill is against the Church’s teachings and therefore should be reprimanded. If we believe in the Church, in God, we should follow his teachings. And that is to value life. We should not take for granted the sacredness of life.”

On a radio report of July 28, 2008, it was confirmed that police still search for the remaining garbage bags that contained the body parts of chop-chop victims: Eva Mae Peligro and Gwendolyn Balasta. The Boholano victims were from Sierra Bullones and not from Pilar as everyone believed.
The suspects were Richard Gudelosao, the brother of the boyfriend of Peligro; and Jojo De Los Reyes, Richard’s helper. They were under the influence of alcohol and marijuana prior to the murder. Both say that it was the other one who did the murder and he just helped. Suspects can’t tell where the remaining bags are since it was very dark when they threw it. Though both had no police record, the suspects were very well-known drunkards and drug addicts in Talisay.
