Compound of eccentric lawyer Pamatong raided Espenido now assigned in Iloilo
By MARK FRANCISCO Correspondent
CAGAYAN de Oro City-The sprawling compound owned by lawyer Elias Pamatong here was raided Thursday dawn by the Martial Law Special Action Group (MLSAG) resulting to the confiscation of a firearm and explosives. Pamatong has been an eccentric figure in the country every now and then and has faced several criminal cases and arrested many times but somehow eluded jail after no court has yet convicted him of any crime. The MLSAG with assistance from the Cagayan de Oro City Police Office (Cocpo), the military’s Task Force Oro, Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG), National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) and 4th Military Intelligence Battalion raided the seaside property in P-13, sitio Tabocnai, barangay Tablon at around 5:00 a.m. by virtue of 42 search warrants equivalent to the number of houses in the complex. Pamatong inherited the area after its owner, another fringe cult-like individual named Edmundo Pamintuan, died in 2002. Pamatong was Pamintuan’s lawyer. Pamintuan named his group Back to Christ See lawyer, page 11
