Kat Alano, a TV host, model, and singer-actress admitted that she was a rape victim in 2005 by a prominent personality.
Now, the TV host had slammed Senator Leila De Lima on her Facebook page after former Department of Justice Secretary actively used her women's rights in her speeches and statements to protect herself from the controversies that she is facing right now.
According to Kat:“DO NOT USE THE FILIPINA WOMEN AS PROTECTION AGAINST YOUR OWN WRONG DOINGS.”
“When I contacted you and BESEECHED YOU AS A WOMAN AND A FILIPINA TO STAND UP FOR RAPE VICTIMS EVERYWHERE; YOU TURNED A BLIND EYE."
“And now you want the women of the Philippines to stand behind you? I STOOD FOR MY RIGHTS AND YOU TOOK NO NOTICE.” Kat Alano added.
The open-letter that Kat mentioned was posted two years ago when Senator De Lima was still the Department of Justice Secretary.
In her letter to Senator De Lima, Kat said that instead of getting justice, she would just be charged in court for "damaging the reputation" of her assailant.
“You see Secretary De Lima, I myself am a victim of the same man who has been allowed to go free under your jurisdiction. At 19 years old, I was raped 10 years ago and I dread to think how many more silent victims there have been since me,” Kat said.
