child abuse raps vs. strikers

Mayor Agustin Perdices said Tuesday that the local government, through the City Social Welfare and Development Office, might withdraw the child abuse raps it had filed against several persons who staged a strike at the Dumaguete port.
This was after several mothers trooped to the CSWDO Tuesday morning to rally for the withdrawal of the complaint.
SPO1 Josefina Lakandula of the city police Women and Children’s Concerns Desk had earlier said that the women, mostly wives of striking union workers, had flocked to the CSWDO to seek an audience with that office.
