A third housemaid, identified as Gina Renacia, 33, has filed charges against businessman Mariano Tanenglian and his family before the Department of Justice (DOJ) for allegedly abusing her.

Renacia, according to the complaint, was 15 years old when Tanenglian and his family employed her as a housemaid. During her service as housemaid, she was allegedly beaten, forced to shave her head and slapped whenever she did something wrong. She also said that in November 1992, Aleta alleged pressed a hot iron against her back, and she had to be treated at the Philippine General Hospital.

Earlier this year, former housemaids Mary Jane Sollano, 18, and Aljane Bacanto, 19, separately filed similar complaints before the DOJ. The two also accused the Tanenglian family for abusing them and maltreatment.

When sought for a reaction, Tanenglian’s camp said the allegations were “part of a bigger picture.” Mariano Tanenglian is the estranged brother of businessman Lucio Tan.

“As we all know somebody is trying to stop our client from testifying at the Sandiganbayan,” Tanenglian’s lawyer, Raymund Quiroz, said. He added that they will answer all charges once they receive a copy of the complaint.
