WALANG nakikitang masama ang ilang mambabatas sa pakikipagrelasyon ni Freddie Aguilar sa menor de edad. Ayon kay Gabriela Rep. Luzviminda Ilagan, walang sapilitang nangyari at maging ang mga magulang ng 16-anyos na babae ay hindi tutol sa kanilang relasyon.
“We have no problem with that. No law was violated, there is no abuse, she was not forced and her parents have given their consent. It is a relationship of mutual consent. Malaki lang ang age gap,” ani Ilagan.
Sabi ni Manila Rep. Lito Atienza: “it’s really hard to judge people who are in a romantic relationship or those who fell in love.”
Payo ni Atienza hintayin ni Aguilar na hindi na menor ang kanyang girlfriend para mapakasalan niya ito.
Ayon kay YACAP Rep. Carol Jayne Lopez “even if it doesn’t ring well in the ears and to many, that it is a juicy topic for moral discussion. It is really their private affair.”
Sinabi ni Isabela Rep. Rodito Albano: “That’s love, hindi naman rape. There is nothing wrong.” Inamin ni Aguilar sa mga panayam ng media na isang 16-anyos ang kanyang kasalukuyang girlfriend, na taga-Naujan, Mindoro at hinihinalang kamag-anak ng isang media personality.
