A netizen asked, 'Genuine question: Why did they invite that literal abuser back for the Eraserheads reunion? Sorry for the controversial opinion, but if you’ve abused your children I don’t think you deserve to be applauded on stage.'

Not everyone is happy about the coming Eraserheads concert on 22 December at the SMDC grounds in Parañaque.

Netizens have resurrected a sensitive issue involving guitarist Marcus Adoro, who had allegedly subjected his wife and daughter to physical and verbal abuse.

In September 2019, Syd Hartha, Adoro's daughter who's also a musician, posted on social media.

"Hindi lang isang beses na sinaktan niya ako nang pisikal. Tinatama niya ulo ko sa pader; kahit sa harap ng kaibigan ko o kapag nakatalikod nanay ko…"

Barbara Ruaro, Adoro's ex-partner, likewise made public her experience with the Eheads member, narrating on Instagram the "cuts, bruises, and almost a year of psychological manipulation, done by someone I loved and cared for deeply," along with photos of her wounds.

She added suffering from "psychological, verbal, and sexual abuse… The vicious cycle he has created for himself and others should stop…"

Netizens want Adoro excluded from the coming concert due to these past issues.

"That M/arcus A/doro doesn't deserve to have this 'comeback' (or even a space in this world). (People) who abuse their children can go to hell," said a Twitter post.

"Genuine question: Why did they invite that literal abuser back for the Eraserheads reunion? Sorry for the controversial opinion, but if you've abused your children I don't think you deserve to be applauded on stage," said another post.

Adoro has yet to respond to the accusations.
