PRIOR to the sexual abuse that he allegedly suffered in the hands of two television consultants, Sandro Muhlach was also given a form of illegal drugs, a source told showbiz insider Ogie Diaz.
In his vlog, Diaz said that he was talking to a highly-placed source at the Muhlach camp who told him that the young star was prevailed upon to take a form of illegal substance, but the source did not say who offered it to the actor.
Based on Diaz’s narration, citing his source, Sandro received a message from the two suspects who told him to join them at their designated hotel for an after-party with other actors and members of the creative team of GMA network following the recent gala night last July 21.
“Akala ng bata ay puro creatives ang nandon, pumunta yung bata. Pagdating don si Richard at Jojo lang ang nandon, at sila ay umiinom. At ang nakarating sa atin ay may illegal substance na pilit na ipina-try kay Sandro. Ayaw nung bata kaya lang na-corner yung bata, ayun na ang nangyari. Nagkaron ng parang hallucination yung bata. Ayun na, according dun sa kwentong nakarating sa atin, na-violate na ang kanyang pagkalalaki,” said Diaz, referring to Richard Cruz and Jojo Nones who have previously been named by GMA Network as the “contractors” who allegedly violated Muhlach.
INQUIRER.net tried to get an independent confirmation from the Muhlach camp but they have not replied yet.
Meanwhile, Cruz and Nones’ lawyer, Maggie Abraham-Garduque declined to comment on the matter as they have yet to receive a copy of the complaint that Sandro filed at the National Bureau of Investigation.
“I do not know if that is part of his (Muhlach) allegation in his complaint, or just a concocted story of people online. As you can see a lot of untruthful stories circulated online coming from persons who have no personal knowledge of the incident,” she said.
Earlier, Cruz and Nones’ camp asked the public to let the investigation run its course and to refrain from making “defamatory” allegations so as not to subject them to trial by publicity.
Meanwhile, Sandro, accompanied by his father, Niño, sought the help of the National Bureau of Investigation in the case, but the agency did not disclose the names of the respondents. The father and son also requested the case to be kept private.
Niño also recently faced the two TV consultants who allegedly molested his son in a meeting arranged by GMA.
According to Diaz, Sandro did not attend the meeting due to trauma, and only his father showed up to confront the suspects. Sandro’s biological mother, Edith Millare, is currently in the United States.
“Ipinatawag din ng GMA si Niño Muhlach at ang dalawang sangkot dito at sila ay pinagharap. Much as gusto nilang makita si Sandro, parang hindi gusto humarap ng bata. Kaya ‘yung tatay na lang umappeal. At hindi satisfied si Niño kaya nakahanda naman si Nino magsampa ng demanda o kaso laban sa dalawa,” Diaz added.
Out of respect to the Muhlachs, Diaz declined to give further details that transpired during the meeting.
“Pero ang narinig nga natin ay gaano ba katotoo na ang alok nitong dalawa ay pagso-sorry at magbibigay or magdo-donate na lang sa favorite charitable institution ni Niño. Totoo ba ‘yun?” he continued. (Hannah Mallorca © Philippine Daily Inquirer)
