The girl said she was filling up her water container at the village well around 1:30 p.m. of November 26, 2009 as the soldier kept on staring at her.
The man asked if he could court her but when she refused, he kissed her.
The soldier allowed her to leave when she gave her cellular phone number to him.
Mastura recommended a bail bond of P24,000 for the respondent's temporary liberty.
