[Title] => Don’t drag Elizalde into Subic rape case — foundation
[Summary] =>
The name of prima ballerina Liza Macuja-Elizalde should not be dragged into the Subic rape case, members of The Outstanding Women in the Nation’s Service (Towns) Foundation said yesterday.
The organization expressed dismay over how Elizalde, who only wants to help, is being dragged unnecessarily into the picture, muddling the real issue of the alleged rape of a 22-year-old Filipina by four US Marines at the Subic freeport in Zambales last November.

[Title] => ‘Nicole’ says Smith lying
[Summary] =>
A 22-year-old Filipina accused a 21-year-old US Marine yesterday of lying when he told a Makati City court on Monday that he did not rape her.
In an interview, the woman, known only as "Nicole," said Lance Corporal Daniel Smith’s testimony revealed a "deliberate move to scrap all evidence and information" that she was "highly intoxicated" when she was allegedly raped in a moving van at Subic Bay Freeport on Nov. 1 last year.
It was not true that she initiated any kissing or sexual intercourse, she added.
