This study is an exploration to forensic discourse analysis which linguistic investigation is crucial for legal inquiry. Conversely, forensic linguistic studies in the Philippines are oddly observed, specifically lacking studies on language as legal evidence and linguistic analysis for legal inference. Given this, the study prospected studying the language of Filipino sex offenders which bottom line is rooted from rape which is considered the most recurring type of crime in the country. The study aimed on identifying the common offending behavioral moves among Filipino sex offenders through the lens of Metafunction of language by Halliday and Matthiessen (2014) along with Move analysis of Swales (1990). Three different rape cases were gathered and dissected from the investigative report of Pinoy Crime Stories. Collectively, findings reveal that these moves are building rapport, soliciting assistance, escorting, restraining by physical assault, raping, and evading. In addition, these moves are realized distinct when targeting vulnerable victims. Hence, this study further recommends comparing these moves among targeted nonvulnerable victims while also considering the typology of these Filipino sex offenders.
