Referral of an alleged sexual harassment case
committed by a Senior High School Professor
(State University in Bukidnon) against several
students. It was reported online and we acted on
it by inquiring to the school on actions taken
regarding the matter.
We also referred several students from UP-Miagao (Iloilo City), MSU-IIT Iligan and Marawi City
who are locally stranded during the lockdown.
The students requested assistance that they will
be able to travel to their hometown as they are
residents of Region X (Misamis Oriental,
Bukidnon and Cagayan de Oro City). Said
requests were referred to the respective local
Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF) on Covid-19.
As for Iloilo students, they were directly referred
to CHR-VI for appropriate assistance.
This is connection to the ‘Balik Probinsiya
Program’ implemented by the LGUs.
