A 40-year old man was put behind bars after a complaint of allegedly molesting his own child.

According to the initial investigation, the suspect was not included on the drug watchlist of the Philippine National Police (PNP).

However, the suspect was intoxicated while reportedly molesting his daughter.

“Yung mga kapitbahay naman sa labas narinig sila na umiiyak, ‘yung bata umaaray, nasilip nila may butas kasi dingding, nasilip nila ngayon kaya agad silang lumapit sa purok leader nila na tumawag naman ng responde ng kapulisan natin kaya naaresto itong suspek,” Quezon City Police Station 14 Chief PCpt. Anthony Dacquel said.

“Bandang ala una [nang] tanghali kanina umuwi ang suspek lasing, inabutan niya anak niya nanonood ng TV, tinawag niya [at] isinagawa na ang panghahalay niya, di umano hinubaran niya ‘yung bata tapos dinilaan yung maseselang parte ng bata,” he added.

The victim’s mother works as a stay-at-home employee and returns home once a week.

Meanwhile, the suspect denied being responsible for the crime, claiming that he was simply being nice to his daughter.

“Hindi ko naman po ginawa ‘yan. Paratang lang naman po sa akin,” the suspect said.

“’Yun pala may malisya pala yun… Naglalambing lang ako sa anak ko, eh [kwan] hinahalikan ko [lang] sya sa pisngi,” he added.

However, the suspect’s sister claimed she was a witness to the crime committed against her niece and that she had experienced the same crime from her brother when she was younger.

“[Bale] hinihipuan siya ng tatay niya [kapag] lasing siya, tapos hinahawakan ‘yung maselang bahagi, ‘yun lang naman po,” the aunt of the victim said.

“Masakit sa akin kasi imbis ako lang, nakaranas pati ‘yung walang kamalay-malay na bata, nakakaranas ng ganyan,” she added.

The city’s Social Welfare has taken care of the child and he will be subject to counseling, while the suspect will be charged with a rape case in relation to child abuse. –KC/Report from Noel Talacay – gb
