Nico Waje has reportedly deactivated his social media accounts following a complaint for acts of lasciviousness filed by former fellow reporter Athena Imperial. According to sources, Waje has not responded to text messages and phone calls from reporters in Manila seeking his side of the story.
The situation has reportedly worsened after another employee allegedly filed a sexual harassment complaint against him, stemming from an incident that is said to have occurred in 2019. This second complaint adds to the legal challenges facing Waje.
Meanwhile, Waje was recently reported to be the new anchor of “Customs Check Pilipinas,” the official news and public service platform of the Bureau of Customs. The controversy comes at a time when he was poised to take on a prominent role in public service broadcasting.
As of this writing, Waje’s social media pages appear to be inactive, and no official statement has been released by him or his representatives. The complaints are still under review by the appropriate authorities.
