That night, one of my children called. He told me that his dad was doing something to his cousin. He and I videotaped the incident so that at least we would have evidence to show. He said his dad always touches my nephew. Then one time, he said he was also holding my wife's chin. Now I said to my nephew, "Why doesn't he report me?" He said he was reporting his cousin. " He tried to kiss me on the mouth. He was scared so I told him not to tell auntie or he would lose me." First of all, we have a video, Enrique, of what you are doing with your nephew. I just think Enrique, you're no longer in the position to refuse. Yes. I don't know what that is,
sir. I'm just asking you to support me. But where are you slandering me? Sir, this is not about alimony. My only question, sir, is whether you have a defense to face if we charge you with child abuse under RA7610. I've lost my way, sir, if they can sue me. You admitted that you do those things. Why, sir? I'm sorry, sir. I was drunk at that time. Ma'am, our documents have been prepared for direct filing. Yes, sir. Ah, just for printing, sir, and then they present it so we can file it in the fiscal. Sir, this is what we'll do. We will accompany them to ensure that we can file a case. We're going to the Fiscal's office in Batangas. No.
Attorney. It's almost tomorrow so we can file the case. Okay. Thank you, sir. Thank you. Sir Gent again good morning. We came to the Nasugbu Municipal Police Station to inquire about this case brought by ma'am and then by nene, apart from the molestation of her. Ma'am, how are you? What was the response of the MPS, especially the WCPD, to their problem? So, ma'am, when they came here, we immediately sent them here so that we could investigate more thoroughly and speak directly with the victim. So we also referred them to our MSWD here for psychological
and psychosocial counseling. Ma'am, regarding what they reported was done to Nene, can you elaborate on what happened? So based on my investigation, ma'am, according to the child, he was sleeping at that time and then he woke up and was being kissed. The suspect kissed her. Then when he was about to speak, he tried to do so because at that time his cousins were next to him on the double deck. Then when he was about to make a move and make a noise, his mouth was covered. Then what he did when he covered her mouth was to pinch her private parts, her nipples. Then he also rubbed her back and her legs. Men, ah, that's also in my investigation, the video that was captured during that incident at that time, I saw the obscene act that
his uncle did by climbing back and forth on the double deck. The child's back is being rubbed, which is consistent with his statement that his back and thighs are being rubbed. Then the suspect started masturbating. Mm. Ma'am, this kind of violence, we can call it violence against youth, minors, and women, what kind of case can be filed against the suspect? So that's it, ma'am, based on my investigation, something happened twice. It's not just the first time that was videotaped, which is the first one, there was also a second time on May 18, 2026, when our victim touched his private part.
I filed a case there, it is a violation of RA7610, two counts of improper conduct. Ma'am, in Nene's case, did we have additional witnesses like what Attie Garrett said? Were those children or were the cousins made witnesses? Yes, ma'am. The owner of the cellphone, one of his cousins, I also took a statement from someone else, which indicated that he was indeed the owner of the cellphone that was used in the video recording at that time. Ah, Sir Gent Ramos, what else can the overwhelmed WCPD do to help our victim? So that's it, ma'am, we have real close contact with our MSWD. So far, I've only just gotten back from there, so I've been able to coordinate again.
Follow up regarding their psychological counseling so that our victims can truly be cared for and focused on ecological progress. Ma'am, additionally, this is our victim's aunt, she also added her ah in the lobby when she was being interviewed. Ah, it was revealed that he was also being hurt and experiencing abuse from this suspect. What did we do to help you, ma'am? So, as for the lady, first of all, based on her statement, during the investigation, we immediately referred her to our Memorial Hospital here at Pasibly Memorial Hospital, a medico-legal force. So then we investigated that more thoroughly.
Ma'am, to our youth and women who are experiencing this kind of violence, what advice or message would you give them? For us, ma'am, that's like a very challenging case because these types of cases are not only for us here at the WCPD but also for the police force. Of course, we are here first and foremost to protect children and then women. So for me, parents, let 's watch carefully. Let's observe why our children are like this, quiet, maybe they are going through something. We will always talk. Besides, for me, one factor that affects cellphone use is what is viewed.
Maybe we should put restrictions on it. I would like to add, ma'am, that this is for those of us who are experiencing this kind of situation or scenario. Don't be afraid, doubt, or hesitate to come to the women's desk of Nasugbo MPS and we will immediately respond to your problems. To the senator. Oh, don't worry, Senator, and we are not neglecting these victims of ours. They have truly become our top priority here in our handling of the cases of the victims. That's okay. Sir Gent Ramos, thank you very much for the very quick action you have taken and the help you have provided to our aunt as well as to the children who have been victims of abuse.
Thank you very much to the entire office of the Naso Municipal Police Station. You're welcome, ma'am. Senator Raffy Tulpo, our NPS took swift action here in Nasugo, Batangas. Thank you very much for your compliments on my nephew's case and for my children. I hope you can help many more people [in music], sir. God bless. Ma'am, we are now with Aunt, Nene, and Aunt's children, who are the victims of abuse. So, ma'am, when you found out about this aunt and stepmother case, what was the MSW's help with? Actually, when I found out about this case, it was because my
aunt went to get the alimony. So we were able to talk about alimony. But because we found out that aunt was still injured, we referred her because there was a referral from the PNP. Ah, we got him medical attention. Then after the medical, he went to the barangay for his barangay protection order. Then this is the case of his nephew, this is what we said, he should have a regular lawsuit filed against Mr. Henry. So that was the move of MSWDO. Ma'am, what are the processes or what are the assistances that we applied for Tita, Nena, and the children to help them deal with the violence that is happening to them? Okay. Actually, when we found out what happened to our nephew, we called NCMH
to schedule his psychological evaluation and hopefully it wasn't just him but the two other children who witnessed the incident. Then, since I know that aunt is unemployed, we can apply for financial assistance. Then, that's why I asked if the children were studying for educational assistance. So I interviewed my aunt about what else she could do to make a living. So we will assess what livelihood program can be given to him. Ma'am, you are the Head of our MSWDO here in the town of Lasugbo and you also have a lot of experience with these kinds of problems. What do you think is the most effective advice you could give to Tita? Maybe even though we are busy
with work, we really shouldn't just monitor the children and see what they are doing, especially at night when most of the time there is no one around, no older guardian, that's what happens. The children were abused. So children should always be watched and taken good care of, especially if they are girls. And we know that nowadays even fathers, uncles, and grandfathers abuse their children. So we shouldn't always be confident. Ma'am, this is in general , what is our advice to women, to young people who are experiencing various types of abuse? From what we see, the victims mostly come from dysfunctional families.
They really should be the victims, they really should be looked at by a therapist so they can move on or so they can forget about it, so can be normal when they grow up, they can be normal. So it would be a great help if they could also undergo therapy, for example, if they were to receive the findings of a child psychologist. This should continue until the child is well. So, as for the parents, I hope they will focus on taking care of their children. Ma'am, you have heard about the help our MSWDO has provided and will continue to your family. So what is the message you want to convey to them for MSWDO to Ma'am Etel Walda, ma'am, thank you very much for your prompt response because this is not the first time you have helped
me. This is the second time because I know that you are such kind people that we really help the young people, sir. Thank you very much, you can still help many people. Then ma'am Etel, thank you very much for your help and tireless assistance to our countrymen, especially to Tita and N, as well as to the children. Thank you very much, ma'am. Okay. We have already been to our police station as well as the MSWDO and you have already filed a case. Now, ma'am, we want to know how Nen's care ended up in your hands. Ah, actually, I came home from Qatar because my stepmother called from Tarlac and said that my brother had lost his mind and that they were already living down the road. That's why they told me, they requested that
I return home to the Philippines because the child will no longer have a guardian. Mm. Because they plan to take my brother to a mental hospital in Bataan. When I returned to the Philippines, I first went to Tarlac to take care of my mother and father , my brother, and then my nephew, which is where I saw them living on the street. I saw my nephew, who was so thin that he was almost black. I feel sorry for you. Ma'am, you mentioned it. You are also a former OFW and your employment was delayed due to what your brother called a problem. Ma'am, how has this affected you and your family? Yes, actually, when my siblings weren't here, our finances were fine. As for the money, my job is okay because my boss is kind. I only
regretted it there because my boss was so kind because he promised me I would come back. I was only supposed to be here for a month and then I was supposed to look for him as he usually does with my friends. But when we came from Las Piñas, our side actually didn't want to accept him because my family didn't want these kinds of problems. I feel like I'm doing something wrong because my dad's side is really quiet. It seems like we were affected because, like that, I lost my job. I had a hard time because I had to leave because I had children. Mm. But I can't leave because I'm thinking about their situation. I can barely sleep because I'm thinking about how we'll live every day. If I don't leave, I sometimes think about dropping the case, but I can't
because it's for my nephew's sake. Mm. We have also filed a case against him. Are you completely satisfied? And is there no more stomach and will there never be a chance for you to forgive him? Not anymore, ma'am. Because since 2017, ma'am, all he has caused me is stress, making me think I'm abroad. Okay, okay, everything is fine, the children are doing well. Okay. Their situation here is okay because he sends videos every day. So it was only when I got home that I found out that he had been up to a lot of mischief. This is all I can tell you, Enrique, I hope if there is still any compassion and conscience left in your children's situation, please have mercy on them, even if it's not on me, just understand the children. But my question is, why
did you do that to my nephew? I hope you have a conscience. I hope you don't do that again. It's not a shame that I gave it to you, Enrique. You created your problem, so you are to blame. You shouldn't blame me for all the sins you've committed. I can only tell you that I hope you change because what year is it? It's 2026. You won't be like that forever. Oh, and for you, Senator Raapitulpo, thank you very much for your response to file a case against my husband. I hope that in the future, you will be able to help many more people who are like my case, sir. Thank you very much, sir, and God bless you always.
Yes. Ma'am, as idol Raffy's initial help, please accept this. This costs 5,000. You will use this to attend cases, attend psychological therapy sessions for your entire family, and there will be further help that idol Raffy will provide you. So, ma'am, please accept this 5,000.
