client and her mother came to our office
because she is an alleged victim of sexual
abuse and needs to undergo medical
examination.
 Client is presently 5 months pregnant by
ultrasound. She is still with the care of her
parents however, preparation for the client’s
custody at the DSWD RSCC is on process
through the assistance of DSWD Calabanga.
The case against the perpetrator is now filed
at the Fiscal’s office of Calabanga.
Client is the 4th Child of her mother. Her father
died because of Kidney Failure when he was only ten
years old. Her mother was left pregnant at that time so
they were assisted by the local government of
Calabanga and was referred to DSWD RSCC Ligao, City
for temporary costudy. The mother gave birth at the
Institution but the baby was stillbirth. They stayed at
the center for six months.
 Few months after, they were allowed to go home
and they went back to their residence at
Barangay Sibobo, Calabanga, Camarines Sur. The
mother got married again and presently they
have 3 children and simply living at their own
shanty along the shorelines of San Miguel Bay.
The stepfather shouldered all the responsibility
of the siblings from the first husband. The
stepfather is a small scale fish vendor on a
consignment basis and at times he also sell
other farm products. Client’s mother also accepts
laundry jobs just to augment family’s income.
The client is also selling fish during weekends.
 Presently, client is 5 months pregnant by ultrasound. She
was allegedly sexually abused by a 65 year old widower
from the same place. The case transpired sometime in
January of present year when the client was told to sell the
fish that was left by her mother and step mother at home.
When he approached the perpetrator to buy fish she was
asked to go upstairs and their the abused happened. He
was given 30 pesos and was threatened that she will be
killed if she disclosed the incident to anybody.
 . The case was still repeated for three times. Only last
march 15, 2012 when she revealed the case to her
grandmother since she was observed by the latter that she
has an engorged breast and enlarged abdomen. She
admitted that she is pregnant and that is because of the
abuses made by her perpetrator. The case was reported to
PNP Calabanga for proper disposition. A Criminal
complaint was filed at the Fiscal Office of Calabanga.

 Client is 5 months pregnant which was the result
of the abused made by the perpetrator. She is
very much willing to bring the case in court
hence also decided to surrender her baby at
DSWD or any institution because she is not ready
to become a mother and she still wants to
continue her studies for her bright future. Her
parents are also unprepared for another mouth
to be fed. It is also burden in their part the cost
of hospital fees and other laboratory
examinations which will be incurred during the
course of medico legal examinations and the pre
natal check up which she should undergo and
later on expenses for her delivery.
 Client is recommended to avail free
hospitalization fee for her pre natal check up
and later on for her delivery.
 She is also recommended to undergo
psychiatric evaluation to our Resident
Psychiatrist.
 She will also undergo series of counseling so
as not to surrender her baby for adoption.
 Referral to some NGO AND GO like DSWD for
financial and legal assistance.
