The solemn and tranquil surroundings of San Carlos Seminary in Makati City suddenly turned into a carnival-like theme park when a former officer of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) broke into its gate and sought sanctuary on Friday night.

After literally hiding under the habit of the priests and seminarians for more than 72 hours, former NBI deputy director Samuel Ong ended his “misadventure” inside the sacred place, that gained wide exposure not only in the local media but with  the international news organizations as well.
