Charges
vs. school staff on rape case
By KIT BAGAIPO
An
administrative complaint will be filed against an employee
of Dr. Cecilio Putong National High School (DCPNHS) who is
one of the accused in sexually assaulting two female students
last September.
Tagbilaran
City Schools Division Superintendent Dr. Elpidio Jala directed
DCPNHS principal Concepcion Bagotchay to initiate administrative
charges against one Venancio Lauron, an administrative aide
of said school.
Lauron
is charged with rape by a 15-year old second year student
of DCPNHS at the City Prosecutors Office.

However,
Jala wants the administrative case to proceed independently
from the criminal charges as he learned that the suspect
is still reporting for work.
The
suspect, together with a utility worker of DCPNHS identified
as Rodel Terec allegedly raped two second year students
at the employees' quarters of said school last September
17.
Jala
expressed dismay to learn that the two minors stopped
attending their classes allegedly after learning that
the accused school employees are still reporting for
work.

In
a memorandum to Bagotchay, the schools superintendent said
the rape victims should be given assistance and encouraged
to report back to school.
If
the students, however, chooses not to attend regular classes
both can be enrolled in special classes offered by other public
high schools here.
In
their affidavits, the two students said that last September
17, around 3 p.m., they entered the employees' quarters of
DCPNHS to charge their cellular phones.
The
two knew another school employee who allows them to charge
their phones at the staff quarters.
According
to the victims, Lauron and Terec entered the quarters and
raped them.
Two
school employees witnessed the incident through the staff
quarters' window.
A
student also claimed to have seen the incident.
