against UP professor Melania Flores, who was arrested last month for supposedly failing to pay her househelp’s contributions.
This developed after Flores signed an affidavit attesting that she had paid her househelp’s SSS contributions from the time she was employed in November to December 2013, and that Flores had only failed to report the termination of her employment.With the affidavit, the SSS decided to withdraw the case against Flores, leading the court to dismiss the charges against her.
“This experience teaches us an important lesson: that in the face of repression and oppression, our only recourse is to collectively push back, not only for UP constituents but for every Filipino whose rights are violated,” she added.
