LAOAG CITY, Ilocos Norte — Ilocos Norte Gov. Imee Marcos has urged authorities and schools to ensure the safety of learning institutions following a supposed rape incident in the Ateneo De Manila University-Loyola campus over the weekend.

Marcos also called on probers to leave no stone unturned in getting into the bottom of the alleged rape incident.

“Predators should not be allowed in campuses. If true, this incident in one of the country’s most respected educational institutions is a serious cause for concern and should be a wakeup call for security personnel in all campuses throughout the country,” Marcos stressed.

The governor also said that as the students’ second home, schools are duty-bound to keep a safe environment for them that is conducive to learning.

“We must make sure that the schools where our children spend their days are safe and free from criminal elements,” she added.

In a statement, the Sexual Misconduct Task Force of the Loyola Schools denounced the incident, which reportedly happened in a school restroom.
