The Makati Prosecutor's Office has dismissed a complaint filed against Bacolod City Representative Alfredo Abelardo "Albee" Benitez on alleged violation to the Anti-Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) Law.
According to the fiscal, the said complaint filed by Benitez' wife, Dominique, lacks evidence.
In the complaint filed in April 2025, Benitez was accused of causing Dominique 'severe mental and emotional distress" for his alleged extra-marital affairs.
