A freshman from New Lucena Polytechnic College was raped by 15 teenagers. She was invited by the boys (her friends) to a drinking session in an abandoned house. When she was drunk, the 15 boys lost no time and alternately raped her. Rape is a heinous crime in the Philippines that is punishable by death or reclusion perpetua (Life in prisonment).
The girl shouldn’t have accepted the invitation of the guys (who happens to be her friends). However, she thought that those guys are her friends and she willingly give in to their invitation. It never occurred to her that the guys have other plans. I pity the girl because she’s a victim of a heinous crime. Our law should be tough on the suspects so it won’t happen to others. We should not blame the victim instead we should hold our hands in supporting the victim in her quest to get the justice she deserved.
