Actress Rita Daniela has formally filed an act of lasciviousness complaint against actor Archie Alemania, alleging he made unwanted advances and inappropriate remarks toward her after a September gathering in Bacoor City. The complaint, submitted to the Office of the City Prosecutor, outlines an incident that Daniela described as both traumatizing and deeply distressing.
According to Daniela, the incident occurred after a Thanksgiving party, where Alemania allegedly offered her a ride home. Though she initially declined, she later accepted, assuming he was sober. During the journey, Daniela claims Alemania placed his hand on her shoulder, caressed her neck, and persisted despite her asking him to stop.
The complaint further details that, upon reaching her home, Alemania allegedly held her hand and asked for a kiss, which she declined, reminding him of his marital status. Despite her protests, Daniela claims Alemania forcibly kissed her and continued to restrain her, even grabbing her bag as she attempted to leave the vehicle. “It is very difficult for me to file the instant case,” Daniela said, describing the emotional impact of the incident, “but the trauma…gave me courage to face the consequences.”
The complaint includes a screenshot of a message Daniela sent to Alemania after the incident, where she expressed feeling “disrespected and violated.” Alemania allegedly responded by apologizing, attributing his behavior to intoxication.
