Filipino society is heavy on patrons and nepotism, so it's normal here. What's different this time is that DepEd has clear guidelines on what to do should I encounter such incidents, unlike when I first reported a teacher-student rape case.
Our DepEd secretary, for all her stupidity, can be credited for recognizing the growing problem with pedophile teachers, groomers and perverts inside the education system we have.
*Hans incident: the time when Hans tried justice and got bitten by neporism/ cronyism.
