The Office of the Ombudsman filed a sexual harassment case in the Sandiganbayan against former assistant Regional Director Jaime Eclavea of the DSWD Field Office VIII in Tacloban City, for soliciting sexual favors from a DSWD employee who was applying for another position in Eclavea’s office in 2011. In Marc Jayson Cayabyab’s article for the <a href="http://newsinfo.inquirer.net/769847/dswd-exec-faces-suit-for-asking-sexual-favors-from-employee">Inquirer</a> dated March 1, 2016, Cayabyab said that Eclaveo was accused of demanding sexual favors from Harvic Gemson Cariño, an encoder for the National Housing Targeting System of the DSWD, who was then applying as an administrative assistant under the Kapit-Bisig Laban sa Kahirapan – Comprehensive and Integrated Delivery of Social Services in the office of Eclavea. In its two-page complaint filed before the anti-graft court, the Office of the Ombudsman said Eclavea “willfully, unlawfully and criminally demand, solicit or request sexual favors” from Harvic Gemson Cariño. Eclavea allegedly asked the DSWD encoder to sleep with him in his lodging house as a precondition for hiring him as an administrative assistant. “Eclavea threatened that if the younger employee refuses, he would not be hired in the position applied for which constitutes a precondition for hiring,” the Office of the Ombudsman said in its complaint. The Office of the Ombudsman said Eclavea satisfied his carnal desires by embracing, caressing the chest, belly and fondling the private parts of Cariño. Eclavea took advantage of his position to criminally solicit sexual favors from the young victim,” Assistant Special Prosecutor I Edgardo Noel Cruz said. <a href="http://kickerdaily.com/dswd-official-accused-of-sexually-harassing-job-applicant/" rel="nofollow">Kicker Daily News</a>
