The Commission on Human Rights (CHR) will conduct a thorough investigation on the alleged mental and physical abused committed by businessman Mariano Tanenglian to his house helper of five years, Mary Jane Sollano.
CHR Protection and Monitoring Division head Atty. Carmelita Rosete said that the commission will also look upon the possibility of requesting the Bureau of Immigration to issue a hold departure order against the Chinese businessman. Atty. Rosete revealed that the said case may be a violation of the child abuse law and child trafficking since Sollano was still a minor when she was employed by the Tanenglians.
During the joint rescue operation of CHR, Department of Social Welfare and Development, and local police, the group saw the maid’s hands badly scalded due to the hot water allegedly poured on her as a punishment for not doing her job well.
Recently, Sollano filed charges of maltreatment, serious illegal detention, slavery, and frustrated homicide before the Department of Justice against Mariano, his wife Aleta, and their children Maximilian and Fayette.
Her three-page affidavit detailed the forms of abuse she experienced in the hands of her employers from July 2009 to August 9, 2009.
