ADAMS, Ilocos Norte – The mayor of this town
who went missing after being charged for rape has posted P120,000 bail last
week, authorities said.
Mayor
Dr. Eric Bawingan who was earlier hunted by authorities after a court issued an
arrest order for allegedly attempting to rape his employee inside a
rented house of the local government unit in Laoag City before the May 2013
polls.
Insp. Clemente Ceralde
of the Adams town police said they have been trying to serve the arrest warrant
two weeks ago but failed to locate Bawingan.
No one could say where
the town mayor was earlier, said Ceralde.
Bawingan has denied
the rape charges saying his accuser was only out to destroy his reputation.
