A court in Bacoor, Cavite has released an arrest warrant for actor and host Archie Alemania following a complaint by actress Rita Daniela over alleged acts of lasciviousness.
The order, dated March 18 and issued by Branch 2 of the Bacoor City MTC, stated that Alemania may be released upon posting bail worth ₱36,000. The court found enough basis to proceed with trial, citing the complaint, supporting documents, and investigative findings.
The case stems from an incident at a Thanksgiving party in September 2023, where Daniela claimed Alemania touched and kissed her without consent, and repeatedly directed lewd comments at her throughout the night.
Alemania remains at large as of this writing. Prosecutors earlier concluded there is sufficient evidence to charge him under Article 336 of the Revised Penal Code, which covers acts of lasciviousness.
In December, Alemania submitted his counter-affidavit denying the accusations. His legal team has opted not to issue a public statement on the matter.
