ASSIGNED TASK:

CASE # 1

In Isabela Province, a teacher was arrested for allegedly enticing and having an affair with a
juvenile student. Mike Jimbo Baloran, a 24-year-old married teacher from Barangay Turod in the
province’s Cordon, was identified as the teacher suspect.

The teacher and the victim had a relationship, according to the victim. However, because
their daughter was still a juvenile, her parents maintained that the suspect had broken the law and
that the case against him should be pursued.

CASE #2

Mary Ann Villanueva, a music teacher at Juan Luna Elementary School in Sampaloc, asked
the parents to provide a tv for the class. The teacher also allegedly demanded a foldable iron
ladder from another set of parents whose children also failed her subject.

CASE # 3

The grandmother of the child sought Tulfo’s help to file a case against Limjuco to “teach
her a lesson.” This was after the teacher was seen on CCTV footage sending a boy out of a
classroom. The child’s family claimed the boy “was traumatized” and “humiliated” because of
the teacher’s action.

Melita Limjuco, 55, who was featured on broadcaster Raffy Tulfo’s television show after a
student’s relatives complained of alleged child abuse on her part. During the show, the staff
called Limjuco for her reaction on the case. The teacher admitted her “mistake” and apologized,
but the child’s family wanted her punished through revocation of her license so “she could rest”
from teaching. Tulfo then asked the teacher to choose between facing a child abuse case – which
is a criminal case – or resigning from her job.
