Ex-POC president Ramos files sexual harassment complaint vs Azkals Moy, Guirado
Former Philippine Olympic Committee president Cristy Ramos has filed a complaint with the Asian Football Confederation against Philippine national men’s football players Angel Guirado and Lexton Moy over an incident in the Azkals’ friendly versus Malaysia last Wednesday.
Ramos, a FIFA official who served as commissioner for the friendly, said that the incident happened when she conducted a team check in the Azkals’ locker room prior to the match.
“As I called the players individually so that we could check their accreditation cards and kits, Philippine player LEXTON MOY (no. 25) stood by my right side and said in a loud voice ‘Must be a B cup,’ to which the players laughed loudly,” said Ramos in her letter to the AFC. “As I was the only female in the room, he was apparently referring to my bra size.”
“Additionally when I checked Philippine player ANGEL GUIRADO (no. 12) he stood in front of me purposely just wearing his briefs and made no attempts to wear shorts or cover his underwear. Again, the players loudly laughed while I was checking this player.”
Ramos said that she had already met with Azkals team manager Dan Palami on Friday, prior to the team’s departure to Kathmandu, Nepal, where it is slated to compete in the AFC Challenge Cup.
“Dan Palami was very apologetic,” said Ramos. “And I was given an assurance by Philippine Football Federation president Nonong Araneta that they will conduct their own investigation and will act on this matter right away.”
Ramos added that the incident was her first untoward incident in her career as a FIFA official.
“I have been match commissioner 200 times and this was the only time I’ve experienced such. Masakit sa akin dahil sa Philippine team pa nangyari,” she said.
