ACTOR Archie Alemania pleaded not guilty to a charge of acts of lasciviousness filed against him by actress-singer Rita Daniela.
The two faced each other during the arraignment held on Tuesday, April 29.
The case stems from an incident that allegedly occurred after a thanksgiving party in September 2024.
In her complaint, Rita accused Archie of kissing and touching her inappropriately and of making repeated “inappropriate remarks” following the event. She also said the actor had made lewd comments toward her during the same gathering.
The Bacoor City Municipal Trial Court earlier issued a warrant for Alemania’s arrest, saying it had found probable cause to proceed with trial.
