One again former actress Princess Revilla escaped maltreatment charges and child abuse after Pasig City prosecutor’s office dismissed the case filed by her 17 year old housemaid. Princess Revilla (real name: Rebecca Bautista Ocampo) is the sister of actor/Senator Bong Revilla.
Actually this is not the first time that Princess Revilla is involved with this kind of incident. Back in 1997, two housemaids filed charges against Princess for maltreatment. The case however didn't push through since the two maids failed to show up at court for unknown reasons.
According to the decision, complainant’s evidence were not sufficient to directly prove the former actress’ probable guilt.The complain filed by her housemaid stated that she escaped from the Revilla’s residence in Pasig City in June last year after she was beaten up by the former actress for breaking a porcelain wash basin. She said Revilla was also not paying her salary.
The prosecutor said, “The complainant has also failed to sufficiently establish that she was subjected to the worst form of child labor, constituting a liability under R.A. 9231 on the part of the respondent. Mere allegations is not sufficient evidence.”
