THE CANOSSA College – San Pablo pledged to follow due process in the sexual harassment case involving one of its teachers.

A joint statement issued by the school administrative board vowed that justice will be served to the victims.

The college said that a show-cause letter will be sent to the employee by the Office of the Directress.

The teacher will be given 10 days to explain why he should not be charged, and failure to do so will result in termination.

If he denies the accusation, an ad hoc fact-finding committee will be formed to probe the case, the school said.

“Nauunawaan namin naging masakit ito para sa kanila at sa inyo pero ganoon din ang nararamdaman namin sapagkat iniingatan namin sila mula pa nang dumating sila sa aming kalinga,” it added.

The school gave assurances that it  will not cover up the incident.

“Makakaasa kayo na wala po kaming pagtatakpan. Kaukulang kaparusahan na naaayon sa batas ang igagawad sa naturang guro. Ang paaralan ay handang tulungan ang mga mag-aaral na naapektuhan sa pamamagitan ng counseling. Umasa kayo na ang lahat nang ito ay magkakaroon ng mabilis na aksiyon at hustisya,” it said.
