MANILA, Philippines - Teased by his friends for having a "small" sex organ, a man in Cagayan de Oro City did the unimaginable: he cut it off.
Police said the man cut off his own penis with a bolo.
The man, whose name was withheld by authorities, has been declared out of harm, but doctors said they will not be able to restore the dismembered organ.
Myrna Villanueva, a psychologist, said the man should be closely monitored by doctors because of his condition.
Villanueva said the man may fall into depression once he realizes what has happened to him, and that he may even hurt himself again.
"Something is [now] missing, and the very important part that is missing speaks of masculinity, power and strength of a man... It's not normal. The fact nga ang normal na tao is to preserve one's self," she said.
She said the man must undergo therapy and counseling for him to recover mentally and emotionally. -- Report from Primy Cane, ABS-CBN Cagayan de Oro
