PHMANILA, Philippines — The alleged rape perpetrated by a member of the Kabataan party-list against a female colleague is already being investigated internally, party president Julius Cantiga said on Tuesday.
Cantiga, in a statement posted on his Facebook page, said that the party-list has taken note of the reactions to the now-viral social media posts from the woman, whose name has been withheld, about enduring sexual abuse from an alleged Kabataan party-list official last April 15.
“We saw and we sincerely acknowledge the tags and calls for accountability […] To all people alarmed and concerned about the post […], we understand your distress. At all times, Kabataan Partylist seeks to stand with all victims of abuse, especially if it involves fellow youth and members of the Partylist. In light of recent revelations, we issue this statement to affirm this stand and make clarifications to the public,” Cantiga said.
