From the Sun Star-Davao (Dec 11): Soldier accused of rape on Awol, to face charges
THE Eastern Mindanao Command (Eastmincom) will file charges against the soldier accused of raping a 16-year-old mother inside her house in Kitaotao town in Bukidnon last month.
"Definitely, we will file charges both administrative and criminal against him [PFC Benjie Blancada]," Eastmincom deputy commander Brigadier General Alexander Balutan said.
Blancada, who has been a member of the Philippine Army's 84th Infantry Battalion, has been absent without leave (Awol) since last week, Balutan said, adding that until now, he is nowhere to be found.
"Kasalukuyan na siyang pinaghahanap ngayon ng mga kasama niya. We will never tolerate such misdeed lalo na’t makakasira lang sa pangalan ng Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) yan," Balutan said.
Balutan said if Blancada will not appear before their office after 11 days, his name will be automatically dropped from the list of their personnel.
"This is a personal problem. There are reports that this is a love triangle issue. Ganun pa man, kailangan pa rin harapin ni Blancado ang ginawa niya. If he will not show up, he will become a fugitive," he added.
Philippine Army's 10th Infantry Division's Civil Military Operations Battalion commander Lieutenant Colonel Llewellyn Binasoy, meanwhile, said the military will issue a nationwide alert to locate Blancada.
Jessa (not her real name) was allegedly raped in Barangay Sinuda in Kitaotao last November 17. She said the suspect only waited for her husband to leave before he raped her.
The Gabriela-Southern Mindanao recounted the ordeal of the victim and condemned the crime, said Mary Ann Sapar, secretary-general of the Gabriela-Southern Mindanao.
"Our first call is that we wanted Benjie Blancada to be persecuted. Second, for the Armed Forces of the Philippines to stop its encampment in communities," Sapar earlier said.
