A 19-year-old male suspect was apprehended by police authorities in Laguna.

The suspect, a construction worker known as "Lando," was accused of taking advantage of a 13-year-old girl.

According to a report by GMA 7's '24 Oras Weekend,' the suspect allegedly committed the crime several times, which later led to the victim's pregnancy.

During the arrest, just as officers were about to read him his Miranda rights, the suspect reportedly attempted to flee from the authorities.

However, during his interview, the suspect denied that he forced the victim.

According to him, they both agreed and wanted what had happened to them.

The suspect, who is now detained, will be charged with statutory r@pe.

Statutory r@pe in the Philippines is a crime committed when an adult engages in s3xual activity with a person who is below the age of s3xual consent, even if the act appears to be consensual.

Under Republic Act No. 11648, the age of s3xual consent in the country was raised from 12 to 16 years old.

This means that any s3xual act involving a child under 16 is automatically considered statutory r@pe, regardless of whether the minor agreed to it or not.

The law is based on the idea that minors are not yet mature enough to give legal consent. Statutory r@peis punishable by life imprisonment and is considered a serious offense under Philippine law.

Caught by CCTV, three men entered their store, closed the roll-up door, and shot the entire family to death. Before fleeing, one of the suspects even grabbed a bag and a mobile phone from the victim. In a report by Gary De Leon of TV 5's 'Frontline Pilipinas,' the family started getting threats after lending P1-M to one of the residents of their barangay; allegedly using the money for business.

In another viral local report, a 51-year-old public school teacher in Las Piñas City was stabbed multiple times by her own husband. According to the report of EJ Gomez in 'Unang Balita,' the 38-year-old suspect committed the crime inside the school's faculty room. Police authorities said the school has a security guard, but, being a familiar face in the school, the suspect managed to easily get in and out of the school. The suspect said he was there to talk to his wife and settle their misunderstanding, but unfortunately, it led to a big arguement.
