Singer-actress Rita Daniela filed an Act of Lasciviousness complaint against her fellow Kapuso star Archie Alemania before the Office of the City Prosecutor in Bacoor City on Wednesday, October 30.
According to reports, Daniela filed the complaint after an incident allegedly occurred after a party in Quezon City in September.
“Being a public figure, a contractual artist with a reputation to protect, it is very difficult for me to file this case, but the trauma I have experienced from the incident has given me the courage to face the consequences,” Rita Daniela’s complaint read.
As per the affidavit, Archie Alemania made a “shocking” comment toward Rita Daniela while he was intoxicated at the said party.

Although it made Daniela uncomfortable, she brushed the comment off, assuming it was only his drunken state.
“Naturally, this made me feel uncomfortable; but since those who heard it just laughed it out. I likewise just tried to dismiss it thinking that Respondent was just drunk,” Daniela’s affidavit read.
Rita Daniela then said she planned to leave the party and booked a vehicle through a ride-hailing app. However, the actor offered her a ride home.
Initially, the actress refused, but after thinking Alemania may have sobered up, she accepted his invitation.
The alleged act began while the two were at Cavitex on the way to Daniela’s house. Archie Alemania allegedly put his right hand on her shoulder and neck.
“Despite of that I still removed his hand while pretending to be cool,” Daniela’s affidavit read.

After arriving at Daniela’s house, the actress was about to exit the vehicle when Archie Alemania grabbed her hand and asked for a kiss. She told him to go home and reminded him that she knew his wife.
Rita Daniela recounted that Alemania kissed her without her consent. She struggled multiple times before she managed to push him away.
As she exited the vehicle, Alemania allegedly pushed her back by grabbing her bag, embraced her from behind, and touched her inappropriately. The actor groped her breast and said, “Pa-booking na man,” implying that he wanted to have sex with her.
After giving all her strength, Rita Daniela finally broke free and exited the vehicle. The actress’ complaint included a screenshot of her text message to Archie Alemania after the incident. According to the Inquirer, the actor responded by apologizing and saying he was drunk.
