Greetings! I’m [REDACTED NAME], sister of the complainant, from Manila City. I would like to follow up on the case against [REDACTED NAME]. This case has been in the process for a while. We are still waiting for immediate action from your good office, the Department of Tourism. As her sister/best friend, I’ve seen her dealing with mental health issues narrowly because of this forgoing case. Sleepless nights and anxiety attacks are extensively alarming. Even though I’m irrelevant to the case, I want to support her as she didn’t know I made this request. Thank you!
