Former VJ and TV host Kat Alano shares her own experience to call out rape culture in the Philippines.
Kat Alano admitted she was raped to call people to stop blaming victims of sexual assault.
Kat related her own personal experience, saying, “When I was raped by #rhymeswithwrong still famous celebrity who had smear campaigns to destroy my career & raped many more, I was wearing a t-shirt and jeans. He drugged me too, so trying to take my jeans off was difficult for him. Hard to rape an unconscious person in jeans.”

She further emphasized that rape happens for no other reason but because of rapists.
She said, “And for all those who bashed me and enjoyed my downfall, I still stand by my truth. That man is a serial rapist. And #RapeisRape #HijaAko.”
