The Archdiocese of Manila has suspended the priest involved in an altercation inside a church in Tondo, Manila and barred him from administering the sacraments.According to the archdiocese, effective June 5, Rev. Fr. Alfonso Valeza was suspended from exercising his priestly faculties “because of his persistent defiance to the Archbishop of Manila despite orders and warnings.”“He is therefore prohibited from administering the sacraments.

Joseph Parish in Gagalingan, Tondo on June 3, Monday.“From then on, any act he does in relation to the position is illicit,” it said.Valeza was caught on video in a scuffle with Novaliches Bishop Antonio Tobias inside the parish.The priest said the heated argument was about his ouster from the parish due to his accusations against alleged corrupt priests.The archdiocese, however, denied that Valeza’s removal was related to the allegations.
