The headline reads: Puri ni Nene (Nene's virginity/purity), iniligtas ng mga daga (rescued/saved by rats). The article talked about a case on attempted rape, which was halted when rats started to crawl out of the barn she was taken into by the suspect.
Apparently, the suspect got scared and fled on first sight of the rats.
I just put the headline into context, as Tabloids in the Philippines tend to be (very) straight-foward with their headlines, yet can be very crypric at times.
For example: "50 Tao sa loob ng gumuhong gusali, PATAY!" (50 people in a collapsed building, dead)
Others simply include the word "Sinibak!" (the media here often use this term to refer to the action of expeling someone from an official possition, it can also mean "got screwed" in some local usage, implying sex) and the photo of the person. God knows if the tabloid is talking about someone removed from office, or simply got laid for the first time until you read the article.
