P3PWD PARTY-LIST Representative Rowena Guanzon urged the Philippine High School for the Arts to fire the teachers involved in the alleged sexual harassment of students.

Guanzon vowed to scrutinize the PHSA’s budget for the next school year.

“[PHSA], fire your manyakis teachers. I will scrutinize your budget next year,” Guanzon said on Twitter.

She  made the statement after international news agency Vice published a report on the alleged “continuous” sexual harassment of students in the school.

Based on the students’ statements in the report, the harassment were perpetrated by faculty members and school personnel.

The PHSA earlier issued a statement saying that it is unfair to brand the institution as a haven of abuse, adding that it will welcome complaints of alumni.

Senator Risa Hontiveros has also committed to help the victims to seek justice in their cases.
