Babae yun! Sa tingin ko, siya yung agrabyado dito,&quot; Alvarez said(Those who are defending Senator De Lima because her womanhood seems harassed. I ask them, why didn&#x27;t they consider Ronnie Dayan?)Alvarez also asked whether women are the only ones subject to sexual harassment.&quot;Babae lang ba yung nase-sexual harassment dito? Bakit, susunod ba yun kung hindi nya subordinate yung mga yun? Bakit walang nagre-raise dun sa puntong yun? Bakit walang nagfa-file ng kaso ng sexual harassment doon kay Ronnie Dayan, doon sa motorcycle rider, doon kay Jonel?&quot;(Are women the only ones who are subject to sexual harassment? Why, would they follow if they were not her subordinates? Why isn&#x27;t anyone raising that point? Why isn&#x27;t anyone filing a case of sexual harassment against Ronnie Dayan, against the motorcycle rider, against Jonel?)Alvarez added that Dayan was the one who was aggrieved by the relationship when the latter said that De Lima had relationships with her other security staff.&quot;Ang punto rito dahil nga later on nung relationship, nalaman ni Dayan na hindi lang pala siya isa. Sino ba ang na-agrabyado dito? Sa tingin ko si Ronnie Dayan, kasi nagamit sya eh. Ginamit sya. Pinatanggap sya ng mga drug money, ginawa naman niya.&quot;(The point here is because later on during the relationship, Dayan found out that he was not the only one. Who wouldn&#x27;t be aggrieved by that? I think it&#x27;s Ronnie Dayan because he was used. He was asked to receive money and he did it.)Alvarez added that considering De Lima&#x27;s position as a former justice secretary, Dayan and the others alleged to have had relationships with De Lima can be considered victims of sexual harassment.&quot;Eh bakit yung asawa ni Ronnie Dayan, biktima rin dito yan. Yung mga empleyado na yun, mababa ang ranggo, driver, motorcycle rider, bodyguard, o? Sexual harassment yun, considering your position, being the secretary of the Department of Justice.&quot;(What about the wife of Ronnie Dayan? She is also a victim. The other employees with low rank, driver, motorcycle rider, bodyguard, that&#x27;s also sexual harassment considering her position as the secretary of the Department of Justice.)Dayan&#x27;s wife accompanied him during his detention at the House of Representatives last week but she declined to face the media.
