Akbayan lawmaker Perci Cendaña, who says he is a person with a disability (PWD), files a complaint before the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) over online posts that he says ridicule his disability-related facial features and include remarks about his sexuality. He files the complaint with the support of persons with disabilities (PWD) advocates.
The reports describe the complaint as a response to recurring harassment made through social media, where the user’s identity may be hidden behind screens. Cendaña’s account focuses on the impact of mocking comments tied to his disability, along with what he characterizes as additional personal attacks. While the outlets agree on the filing and the nature of the allegations, they provide limited detail on the specific posts, accounts, or the legal grounds cited in the complaint.
