“Sixteen years old lang yun noong nangyari yun, tapos naglayas na ang bata. Ang mag-asawa di man naghiwalay, ang nanay niya pa nga nagbabantay sa suspek doon sa police station [kung saan] nakakulong,” said the Palawan News source.
The arrest of the suspect, charged with rape, was made pursuant to a warrant issued by Judge Jocelyn Sundiang Dilig of Branch 47 of Fourth Judicial Region, Regional Trial Court in Puerto Princesa City.
