Police arrested a 17-year-old teen in Barangay BF Homes, Parañaque City, for allegedly raping a 31-year-old woman early Monday morning.
According to the victim alias “Christine,” she went up to her room and fell asleep after drinking with some neighbors and suspect alias “Junjun.”
She just woke up and saw that the suspect was already raping her. “Junjun” was with his 20-year-old friend, alias “Ben.”
When she woke up, the suspect fled, “Christine” said.
According to Franco Salamat, deputy officer of Barangay BF Homes, they caught “Junjun” at “Ben’s” house with the help of CCTV footage.
According to “Junjun,” the victim offered him sex.
“Ben,” on the other hand, denied that he had been involved in the crime and had just seen what had happened between the suspect and the victim.
“Christine” is determined to file a case against the two suspects.
Even if he is a teen, “Junjun” could be facing a rape charge while police are still studying the possible charges against “Ben.”

Hospital in Batangas locked down after doctor, nurse tested positive for COVID-19
Lemery Mayor Larry Alilio is temporarily closing Batangas Provincial Hospital after a doctor and nurse tested positive for COVID-19.
According to Alilio, infected health workers are not residents of Lemery.
“Although hindi po dito sa bayan natin sa Lemery ang mga taong tinamaan ng coronavirus, nagpositive po, sa atin pong Batangas Provincial Hospital o emergency ang tawag natin dito sa ating bayan…Nagpositive po ang isang doctor at isang nurse kaya obligado ako na i-lockdown ang provincial hospital,” he said.
The hospital will undergo sanitation and disinfection, and all patients admitted would be tested for COVID-19.
Those who would test negative would be allowed to return home while those who would test positive would be admitted to a 14-day quarantine at their barangay’s isolation facility.
The suspect case at Lemery is still 31, but it only has one active case since the other three patients already recovered.
On its social media account, Batangas Provincial Hospital sought the public’s understanding. It said that the hospital’s operation would be resumed as long as the facility was clean and safe for everyone.
