MISAMIS ORIENTAL - A Dutch national was shot dead in Barangay Punta Silum, Manticao in Misamis Oriental on Monday.

Robertus Carolus Maria van der Ploeg, 59, was shot twice in the head. A cardboard that read, "Pidopilya at adik ako" [I am a pedophile and an addict] was found beside his body.

He was reportedly in the area to woo a 17-year-old girl. Investigators said they found sex videos of Van Der Ploeg with several minors on his mobile phone. Women's panties were also recovered from his bag.

Authorities said Van Der Ploeg initially sought help from police claiming that he received death threats for being mistakenly tagged as a drug lord.
