DSWD files child-abuse complaint against Willie Revillame

by Erwin Santiago posted on April 27, 2011  STATS: 43982 Views | 293 Comments

 

"We are filing this case because it is our job. We do this for all cases of child abuse that we come across, and we provide services to everyone who needs our help. There is no political angle here; neither is there any hidden agenda, as some quarters may allege. Our main concern is to promote the welfare of the child and his family, and others who are or may be placed in a similar situation," says DSWD Secretary Dinky Soliman about the child-abuse complaint her department filed against TV host Willie Revillame (in photo).

May panibagong child-abuse complaint na namang isinampa laban sa TV host na si Willie Revillame.

Matatandaang noong April 25 ay nagsampa ng reklamong child abuse ang ilang rights advocates—kabilang na ang opisyales ng End Child Prostitution, Child Pornography and Trafficking of Children for Sexual Purposes (ECPAT)—laban kay Willie sa Quezon City Fiscal's Office.

Kasama rin bilang respondents dito ang chairman ng TV5 na si Manny V. Pangilinan at iba pang opisyales ng TV5. (CLICK HERE to read related story.)

Ang naghain naman ng bagong reklamo kay Willie ay ang Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), sa pamamagitan ni Secretary Dinky Soliman.

Co-complainants sa reklamong ito ang activist priest na si Father Robert Reyes, ang End Child Abuse Community Facebook administrators na sina Froilan Grate at Frances Irene Bretaña, at ang "blogger mom" na si Noemi Lardizabal-Dado.

Isinumite nila ang kanilang joint affidavit-complaint sa Quezon City Prosecutor's Office kaninang umaga, April 27.

Sa pagkakataong ito, tanging si Willie ang respondent sa kaso.

Ang reklamong child abuse—o paglabag sa Republic Act No. 7610 (Special Protection of Children Against Abuse, Exploitation and Discrimination Act)—ay nag-ugat sa March 12 episode ng Willing Willie kung saan nagsayaw ang isang anim na taong gulang na batang lalaki ng parang ginagawa ng macho dancers. (CLICK HERE to read related story.)

Si Willie ang host ng variety-game show na ito na napapanood sa TV5.

Nakasaad sa complaint-affidavit ang sumusunod:

"We were able to individually view the segment from the internet, after it was uploaded on the YouTube website.

"As concerned citizens, we denounce the exploitation and irresponsible treatment of the six year-old Jan-Jan on the show Willing Willie.

"Revillame's actions and utterances constituted psychological abuse, cruelty, and emotional maltreatment of the child, as it debased, degraded and demeaned Jan-Jan's intrinsic worth and dignity as a human being."

SEC. DINKY SOLIMAN'S STATEMENT. Kaugnay pa rin ng child-abuse complaint na ito laban kay Willie, isang statement naman ang inilabas ni DSWD Secretary Dinky Soliman sa kanyang Facebook account.

Narito ang kabuuan ng kanyang pahayag:

    Ay naku ano bang bansang ito!! Nang umuwi kami ng pinas one time nasa sm bacoor kami papunta ng sasakyan namin. may lumapit na mga bata basang basa at malakas ang ulan nanghihingi ng pera at mga hubot hubad. Binigyan ko at naaawa ako ,mayat maya nagdagsaan ang maraming bata para manghingi ulit at nagulat kami bakit ganoon . Nasaan ang mga taong nauukol dto d ba 2 ay malaking child abuse tapos sumayaw lang ang jan jan sa Willing Willie pinagaaksayahan ng malaking panahon ang walang kwentang reklamo. Sa totoo lang takot kami pag umuuwi kahit bansa mo ang uuwian mo pero napakarami ng crimes sa pinas .Doon dapat pinagaaksayan ng malaking oras at panahon, hindi ung ganito lang dahil ito ay isang SHOW!!!!!!!!

    108 pluma ---- did you read the whole article? As of February 2011, DSWD have served 4,701 children who are victims of various forms of abuse. i do not think that DSWD is singling out Willie, although the outcome of Willie's case can be a wake up call for all Filipinos on how to properly treat children.

    ano ba kayo un mga pulubi sa lansangan ang hirap tulungan ang dami ng hinuli ng dswd at inilagay sa housing pero mga tumatakas mas gusto pa sa lansangan kaya hopeless na tulungan besides sobrang daming pulubi dapat ang gobyerno gumawa ng batas para sa mga magulang na mhihirap Kung Hindi kayang magpalaki ng anak wala na dapat anak at kulong kapag nanganak at nagpabaya. Itong janjan issue ay very disturbing because it happen on national tv kaya dapat Lang aksyunan ito. Yun janjan at action ni willie at ng marami sa ww ay lalo Lang nagpapababa sa ating reputation bilang pilipino at sana maparusahan si Willie o Kung Hindi man masuspinde o tape n Lang show nya Hindi live so naeedit bago mapanood ng marami.

    I commend the initiative of DSWD. There has to be a closure to this case, whether Willie's act towards Jan-jan is an Abuse or Not. If the court rules that it's an 'Abuse', then Children should not be coerced to dance the same way as Jan-jan's. If the court rules that it's 'Not Abuse', then we can let our Children dance on TV like a Macho Dancers or Burlesk Queens without worries against criticisms.

    DSWD are making themselves so pointless and shameful on this issue on and on. How about the countless children beggars all over metro manila, risking lives running wt babies on highways to beg for few centavos..where are you to claim this as your JOB Dinkydinky and Co.? why didnt you take up your Jobs to arrest and put behind bars these child-syndicates operating everyday in the streets of manila? How about the countless minors being preyed on in cebu, angeles city, subic, ermita, etc as prostitutes and as pedophiles run their sexual businesses all over the country? where are you to protect these minors against sexual abuses? what sucks is this, why such overreaction for a wrong cause? MTRCB is in-charge, not you. focus your duties to the more heinous crimes against children and minors nationwide, happening right before our eyes, everyday in manila.They need your help, not janjan!

    Eto na naman ang DSWD pag may personality na involve nasa Diyaryo at Pep. Good na ginagawa ninyo ang trabaho ninyo. Pero dapat tulungan din ninyo ang street children na biktima ng sindikato. Bakit din hindi kasuhan ang mga magulang ni Jan Jan tutal sila naman ang nagtrain sa bata ng ganyang sayaw at pagpapasali sa mga contest. Mali ang ginawa ni Willie at known siya sa kabastusan. Pero parang sobra naman ang child abuse case na ito. I don't like Willie R dahil manggagamit at bastos siya. Kung kakasuhan ng child abuse si Willie at TV 5 dapat kasuhan din ng ganito ang mga magulang ng bata

    In 2006, Dinky Soliman and some colleagues of the Black and White movement staged a protest to oust then president GMA. She was arrested but was released into the custody of former president Cory Aquino, who is also a supporter of the movement along with Leah Navarro. Dra Carandang, in her letter to MTRCB, cited the disrespectful behavior of Willie during the Aquino funeral. I just hope their motives to file charges are out of concern for JanJan, and not for political payback due to the funeral incident. In my opinion, there was no child abuse in the WW incident, but Willie acted inappopriately and for that it is only fair to be reprimanded and suspended, but not jailed.
