On Instagram, he posted a photo alongside his father with the caption: “I love you, board. I’ll stay strong. REST EASY PAPA.”

Last Saturday, September 5, as per PEP.ph, Richard Parojinog posted the same photo in his Instagram stories with the caption: “I love you board.”

According to PNP Chief Camilo Cascolan, “no violence was noted” in the ex-Ozamiz councilor’s death.

But all personnel on night duty including the Ozamiz police chief have been placed under restrictive custody, ready for the investigation, following the death of Ardot Parojinog.

Ardot Parojinog is the brother of Ozamiz City Mayor Reynaldo Parojinog Sr who was killed along with 15 people including the mayor’s wife in a raid served by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) and the Ozamiz City police in July 2017 at Parojinog’s residence.

Ardot and other members of the clan were accused of their alleged involvement in the illegal drug trade and reportedly, they have ordered their private army to kill local police who refused to participate in the said transactions.

Jovie Espenido, who’s well-known to be a crusader of anti-illegal drugs, was the chief of Ozamiz at the time.

In 2017, President Rodrigo Duterte announced placing a whopping 5 million pesos reward for the apprehension of Ardot Parojinog.

Last July 2018, he was deported from Taiwan to the Philippines.

Meanwhile, Richard Parojinog rose to fame when he won the title as Mr. Pastillas in the defunct It’s Showtime segment, “Nasaan Ka Mr. Pastillas?”
