Frankie Pangilinan urges authorities to focus on 'real cases of sexual assault and rape' as NBI probes rape threat

Frankie Pangilinan urged everyone to focus on the "real cases of sexual assault and rape" as the National Bureau of Investigation probes the rape threat against her.

"I had no idea about that NBI crap," Frankie, the daughter of Senator Kiko Pangilinan and actress Sharon Cuneta, tweeted on Monday. "And it’s really upsetting me if one vile tweet against me is more important to them than several real cases of sexual assault and rape."

anyway before i rest i had no idea about that NBI crap and it’s really upsetting me if one vile tweet against me is more important to them than several real cases of sexual assault and rape. i’ll dig deeper in the morning.

Frankie sent her deepest apologies to the public for the "injustice."

"This whole thing got so much bigger than I ever intended it to," she continued. "It was something that hurt me briefly and that was it." 

Frankie added, "It shouldn’t take precedence over anyone else’s cases, most especially those more grave, and I truly hate that it might."

However, Frankie shared that she's still considering filing a case to fight for her own justice but not at the expense of others.

okay so — there is no NBI case until i file, (no one can file without me) and i haven’t filed yet while i weigh the consequences.

After the NBI announced on Monday that it will look into the online rape threat made against Frankie, the Department of Justice shared on Tuesday that it has already determined the identity and location of the person.

Frankie has been one of the hottest topics online after she started the #HijaAko movement that calls an end to victim-blaming. — Kaela Malig/LA, GMA News
