CEBU, Philippines - A private school owner and teacher
was accused of sexual harassment and child abuse by a
14-year-old male student in Lapu-Lapu City.
The mother of the victim reported the alleged sexual
harassment at the Lapu-Lapu City Police Office. Based
on the victims account, the incident happened inside the
school bus on October 16 while he was heading home.
The victim, whose name withheld by The FREEMAN,
said the suspect was the one driving the school since
the school driver resigned. According to the victim, while
the other students were already brought home he was
asked by the teacher to sit beside him.
The victim obliged out of respect to the teacher. The
suspect later asked if he could kiss him on the cheek
which he also agreed thinking that the teacher did not
have any malice.
However, the teacher allegedly kissed his lips and
touched his private part. The student said he was given
P30 by the suspect and warned not to tell anyone about
what happened.
The incident allegedly resulted in the victims trauma. In
fact, he is currently undergoing psychological counseling
because of the trauma that he has endured.

Luisita Massacre

said in a speech at the House of Representatives to
defend the dispersal of strikers at his familys
plantation, the Philippine Daily Inquirer reported on
November 17, 2004.

gunshot wounds. In his speech, Aquino condemned
the violence but defended the dispersal, saying the
police and soldiers were subjected to sniper fire
coming from an adjacent barangay." At the very
most, workers have a right to strike. One would
imagine congressmen would know that," De Quiros
wrote in his November 22, 2004 column. A strike is
