Authorities Rescue Underage Girl After Checking Into Beach Resort on Valentine’s Day
An underage girl was rescued by the authorities after checking into a beach resort in Iloilo City on Valentine’s Day.
On Friday (February 14, 2025), the members of the Task Force on Morals and Values Form rescued a minor after she was discovered checking into a beach resort in Arevalo, Iloilo City.
According to Task Force Head Nestor Canong, the young girl was found inside one of the resort’s rooms. The resort owner approached her, asked her questions, and confirmed that she was underage.
Following this, the task force took immediate action to ensure her safety. The girl was turned over to social workers, who assisted in returning her to her parents. Authorities prioritized her safety, ensuring she was handled with care throughout the process.
The resort personnel admitted they failed to monitor the age of guests entering their premises, which allowed the minor to gain access to the accommodation.
The incident raised concerns about the enforcement of regulations designed to prevent minors from entering establishments like resorts without proper supervision.
The local government emphasized that such lapses are a violation of the ordinance prohibiting minors from checking into accommodations without valid reasons or adult guardians. The resort management is now expected to face questioning and possible penalties for not adhering to these regulations.
The incident reminds businesses to strictly follow rules that protect minors and ensure their safety. It also shows the importance of vigilance among resort staff when dealing with guests.
