Over the part few weeks, Ateneo De Manila has been under fire from various sectors on the way the administration has been handling alleged incidents of sexual harassment of professors on students.
Social media sites have various testimonies coming from alleged victims of certain professors from over a year ago. While some of these stories have not translated into cases, other students have filed their complaints. Despite the Data Privacy Act, a student recently revealed his alleged experience and frustration at the outcome of the case he filed. The post, which was already deleted, elicited various responses from fellow students, alumni network, and professors. More importantly, other victims came forward with their own stories that supported such claims and several names of professors were disclosed.
Such reactions prompted the students to organize a protest to remind the community that sexual harassment will not be tolerated and the fight continues.
The ADMU administration, meanwhile, has released official statements on the cases and stressed the due process has to be followed. No less than the ADMU President, Fr. Jett Villarin, apologized for the handling of the said cases and the pain inflicted on the Atenean community at the height of the controversy. After meeting with the ADMU Sanggunian (student council), Fr. Villarin has revealed the creation of the Office for the Protection of Minors and Vulnerable Adults, which will be under the Office of the President. Meanwhile, faculty members have released a statement and an open letter in support of certain accused professors and encouraging critical discourse on addressing the shortcomings of dealing with such cases, respectively.
Dami issue ng admu lately ha. Dengue, bullying, sexual harassment. What’s next? š³
ReplyDeletePower tripping/abuse? Rape?
DeleteHindi ba meron na nung rape pero totoo ba yun o hoax lang
DeleteI say just file a case directly sa police. Wala kang mapapala sa pagfile ng reklamo sa school admin.
ReplyDelete@422 oo nga eh. Krimen naman yan so dapat deretso na sa pulis. Wala naman justice makukuha from reporting to the school admin. Dapat pakulong kung totoo na sexual predators pala mga prof na yan.
DeleteYes get a lawyer and idemanda yung nang haharass sa inyo.
DeleteAlam ko may iba na nag file an ng kaso.
DeleteSchool grounds kasi nangyari so if nagfile sila outside. Ateneo ang makakalaban ng mga estudyante
DeleteTrue.I mean paganahin ang pera,pay lawyers and have these people incarcerated.The end.
DeleteMay mapapala sila sa school because if this incident happened inside the campus, they can get sue the school. School equates money, and the faculty members can be sued for administrative and civil case.
DeleteOMG. The "Disentes"
ReplyDeleteSo true pala the sexual harrassments experienced at ateneo with no other than the present president of the Phils?!
ReplyDeletePinagsasabi mo!
Deletepinagsasabi mo teh? pinagtagpi tagpi mo
Deletena ung kwentoš¤¦♀️
Hah?! Anong president of the Philippines?
Delete4:39 present president of the Phils talaga?read again plithš
Deleteyou’re joking right? president of the phils talaga? did you undrestand what you’re reading?
Deleteha?
DeletePati ba naman sexual harrassment sa ateneo kasalanan ng president ng pinas.
DeleteMay bad experience din kasi si p.dutz sa ateneo school.
Deletedi nyo naintindihan sinabi ni 4:39
Deletesi Pres parang may nasabing may sexual harrassmentna nangyari sa kanya dati - from school, nabasa ko lang sa isa sa mga interviews nya. so baka admu ang tinutukoy nya, kaya galit din sya sa ibang kaparian.

Mema lang duh.
DeleteIsa patong bulok mag isip.
Delete1:41 alam namin, di lang ikaw ang nagbabasa.š pero ang layo naman para iconnect - davao un, manila ito. pari daw un, professors/teachers ang mga to. para iconnect, igeneralize, at idecide na "true" na lahat ay ugaling tamad at ugaling mabilis mauto
DeleteAng sinabing Office of the President day ay Ateneo President.Nakakaloka!
DeleteAndaming tsismosa na nagcomment dito na wala nang alam sa social issues hahahaha. Napaghahalata. Duterte once mentioned that he was molested by a Jesuit when he was a student at the Ateneo de Davao. Yung nagcomment sa taas pingatahi tahi of course dahil di naman priest ang nagmolest this time pero dahil Ateneo, sige na lang. lels. And the tsismosas reacted with no aocial context. Hahaha ang mga tsismosa talaga always entitled.
Deletenung 2017 meron ng nagfile at hangang ngaun wala p dn aksyon, at ang dameng requirements n hinihingi bago i-file tama nga naman stress n s nangyari ma-sstress p s pag file grabe naman, actually ang haba ng open letter d q p tapos basahin. nsa facebook p hangang ngaun nkakalungkot lang
ReplyDeletetama lang n mailathala at mabasa pra maging aware ang lahat kht nsa mataas n institusyon p cla
ReplyDeleteIf you have the money,go to court and file charges.
ReplyDeletematagal na daw issue yan. ngayon lng nagkaron ng lakas ng loob ilabas lahat ng baho ng skul na yan.
ReplyDeleteMismo!
DeleteAsan ang kadisentehan sa ganyan? Susko tigilan na ang kaipokrituhan.
ReplyDeleteDapat nga mag file na ng lawsuit sa korte para malaman ang both sides at ma-compell ang ADMU na i-release ang findings ng investigations nila. Justice delayed is no justice at all.
ReplyDeleteCorrect.Wag yung ingay lang.If you have sufficient evidence file a case or mag Tulfo then file a case.
DeleteHun, it may not be easy for them to do it too. Some of the victims are male students, and a few were even colleagues of the perpetrators. This isn't a question of having the money to go to the court, as they certainly have more than enough of that. This is now their capacity to out themselves as victims and seek justice for their harassments and abuses.
DeleteNung time ko wala namang ganito. So weird bat nagsusulputan ngayon
ReplyDeleteAkala mo lang yun. Time to open your eyes.
DeleteNaku Ateneo, what's happening???? Hindi ko na papasok anak ko dito..
ReplyDeletesame. Yun pa nmn plano ko dati pa. Time to find another school. Plan B.
DeleteFor that much tuition fee you're charging, the least you could do was make sure that your students are safe! One too many complaints from the same person is not coincidence anymore. The admin couldn't care less until they can not contain it anymore, and their response is still so weak and biased!
ReplyDeletethis so embarrassing for a private catholic school that prides itself for being the best in the country. this is a serious matter that needs to be address immediately!
Deletebuti na lang swerte ako sa mga naging profs ko sa admu. mukhang easy target pa man din ako that time.
ReplyDelete10.20 pm - what do u mean by "easy target?"
