Kat Alano, may bagong pahiwatig sa katauhan ng kaniya umanong rapist

"For those who have been waiting for me to say who my rapist is, it doesn't get more specific than this." Ito ang panimulang bahagi ng open letter na ini-upload ng model at radio disc jockey na si Kat Alano sa kaniyang Facebook account para kay Justice Secretary Leila de Lima.

BASAHIN: DJ Kat Alano clarifies posts about rape issue

Sa naturang post ni Kat na may petsang January 19, pagod na raw siya sa kaniyang pananahimik at panonood sa mga taong nagbibigay proteksiyon sa isang lalaki na marami umanong sinaktan na babae sa maraming taon.

Pero gaya ng mga naunang post ni Kat, wala siyang direktang tao na pinangalanan na umano'y nanghalay sa kaniya noong 19-anyos pa lamang siya, o 10 taon na ang nakalilipas.

Pakiusap niya kay De Lima, kumilos at tulungan ang mga biktima ng panggagahasa na mabigyan ng pagkakataon na marinig ang kanilang reklamo.

"WE NEED YOUR HELP. Please open your eyes to the plight of rape victims in our country. Please face the fact that we have a major problem and that the system as it stands has been proven to ineffective in catching rapists and giving victims the sense of justice they deserve," saad sa post para kay De Lima.

Patuloy nito, "The victims of the Philippines NEED YOU to help us become one of the front runners in the world for defeating this plague of rape culture that has infected our country for centuries; instead of being a race and culture that oppresses victims and openly supports criminals."

Bagaman walang partikular na kaso o pangalang tinukoy, pinuna ni Kat ang umano'y naganap na pagpapalaya dahil sa "kawalan ng sapat na basehan" sa reklamo laban sa isang "public figure" na kinasuhan ng mga rape, na nangyari sa panahon ni De Lima bilang kalihim ng DOJ.

Ang naturang pangyayari ay nagpalakas daw sa kaniyang paniwala noon pa man na walang mangyayari sa paghahabla sa taong nang-abuso sa kaniya at maaaring mabalikan pa ang nagrereklamo.

"It has also proven something I knew to be true long ago, that filing a case in our court system against the man who raped me would end only in an unfair dismissal and a perjury case filed against me for 'damaging his reputation' by trying to bring this man to justice for what he has done to me and many others," saad ni Kat sa kaniyang pahayag sa post.

Sa isang bahagi ng kaniyang post, binanggit ni Kat na, " None of my rapists' victims have even made it into a courtroom to have their testimony heard. Even if they did, the chances of them getting a fair trial are slim to none under the current system."

Pinuna rin ni Kat na kadalasan na ang mga biktima pa raw ng rape ang nasisisi at napag-iinitan lalo na kung kilala ang taong inaakusahan. Naranasan daw niya ito nang aminin niya na naging biktima siya rape dahil nakatanggap siya ng pagbabanta at nawalan din ng trabaho.

"In accusing public figures of rape there is an even greater problem and misconception that many believe a claim of rape is a ploy to get attention, to become 'famous' if you will. This is a reflection of the terrible values that have been instilled into our people by the media," aniya sa post.

"I know this because after my public admission of being raped last year, I was put out of work, as I have been for the past year, a plight I share with other victims who have accused this man of rape publicly. The negative attention I have received from the public has been derogatory and violent, some of his supporters have even made threats against my life," dagdag niya.

Sa hiwalay na post ni Kat sa kaniyang FB account, hinikayat niya ang publiko na suportahan ang isang petisyon (http://fb.me/76kAYqPAi) na naglalayong tulungan ang mga biktima ng pang-aabuso. -- FRJ, GMA News
