DAVAO CITY— Police authorities here have expressed concern that the high incidence of rape cases in the city—31 reported from January to April this year—is “alarming,” and has remained to be the highest among the “eight focus crimes” in the city.
But Maj. Catherine dela Rey, DCPO spokesperson, pointed out that the rape cases this year went down from the 57 recorded incidents during the same period of last year. She said law enforcers have commenced implementation of “Oplan Kilos” , a campaign seeking to “intensify police and community efforts in the strategic measures in combating rape and other sexual abuse against women and children.”
Bragas was found dead shortly after going missing. Her remains were covered in dried banana leaves in a plantation in Barangay Dacudao in Calinan.
