Charges vs. school staff on rape case
By KIT BAGAIPO
The Bohol Chronicle

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.

I am the one who gave Kit this news since I am having problems with my associate editor at the paper where i write.
My publisher was allowing me to cover this case and I thought it would be best to have Kit back me up in his paper.
I gave kit the documents and my reported talks with the public schools superintendant to put it in a write ups as my associate editor does not allow all things to get posted on our papers website.
Kit is also related to one teacher and a sister who teaches at the school where this took place at.
Kit also did not want to have to write the story or investigate it for that reason.(did not want to sound biased)
Now it can be posted after I submitted this to Kit of the Chronicle.
This is the write up your waiting on but in my work in Kits name.
Hope you all can understand me now as to why I could not post the story before.
This will back up my previous post as one of you stated to me was a gossip.
The two employees were watching through holes in the walls from the dirty kitchen behind the employees sleeping quarters not windows as reported.
Until now I am still  investigating and gathering news for future write ups for Kit and I.
Hope to keep you up to date.

Just to inform anyone who reads the Bohol chronicle I am given permission by senior writer kit of this paper to write up this case  as it progress's along in his paper from now on since it is me doing the investigating.
Kudos to Kit for helping out his foreign colleague.
I was told by one of the persons I am investigating that some one from my paper (FA) is calling him that same day and my write ups are not being posted on this hot and interesting topic and I had previous go ahead from the publisher to sat on the case and keep the readers up to date. (The publisher was in Manila last wk and again was not aware of it.)
I have an outside editor Rene Ponte who does my pre editing to avoid anymore mess ups in my newspaper writings.

Thank You, for your patience and consideration always.

Good, action has been done.

Surely but slowly Happy, it has been a really time consuming ordeal and I am pleased that I am getting the deserved back up as this darn principle has not done anything to care or look after these young ladies.
She's more on protecting her employees.

Thanks for your interest.
