Coming right on the heels of Sandro Muhlach’s alleged abuse involving two independent contractors, singer Gerald Santos revealed that he was once in a similar situation years ago.
Santos’ revelation came via a video uploaded to his YouTube channel on Monday, 6 August, where he narrated his experience.
“Ang masasabi ko lang sa ‘yo, ang kapal ng mukha mo. Pinapasa-Diyos na kita. Kaya po ako nagsasalita dahil ako po ay may sariling karanasan, katulad nito na nangyari kay Mr. Sandro Muhlach (All I can say to you is that you have a lot of nerve. I’ve left it to God. The reason I’m speaking out is that I have my own experience, similar to what happened to Mr. Sandro Muhlach,” he said, referring to his abuser whom he did not name.
He cited his reason for coming out as being a victim of abuse.
“Gusto kong sabihin sa inyo ‘yung aking naging karanasan to raise awareness sa lahat ng mga baguhang artists (I want to share my experience to raise awareness among all emerging artists),” he said.
Fans of Santos showed their support for the singer and want him to receive the justice he deserves.
“Sana maibigay ang hustisya sa lahat ng mga naabuso nga mga taong gumagawa nito. Kung noon na walang boses/socmed, ngayon na meron na, may ibang tao ang gagawa para makamit ang hustisya. Ipinagdarasal ko talaga ‘yan na sana wala ng pangyaring ganyan ulit hindi lang sa showbiz industry (I hope justice is served for all those who have been abused by people who do such things. Back when there were no voices or social media, things were different, but now that we have these platforms, others will take action to achieve justice. I really pray that such things will not happen again, not just in the showbiz industry),” Santos said.
