The social media accounts of former GMA Integrated News reporter Nico Waje have reportedly been deactivated after he was charged with "Acts of Lasciviousness" by his former colleague, reporter Athena Imperial. This was confirmed in a report by PEP.PHP on May 16, 2026.
No Response to Inquiries
Waje has not responded to text messages or phone calls from reporters in the capital who sought his side of the issue. His silence has fueled further speculation about the case.
Additional Sexual Harassment Case
Waje's legal troubles have worsened as another employee has filed a sexual harassment complaint against him, allegedly stemming from an incident in 2019. This second case adds to the mounting allegations against the journalist.
Meanwhile, reports indicate that Waje is now the new anchor of Customs Check Pilipinas, the official news and public service platform of the Philippine Bureau of Customs. It remains unclear how these legal developments will affect his current role.
