Singer Gerald Santos can’t help but relate to what happened so Sparkle artist Sandro Muhlach.
Like Sandro, Gerald was also molested in the past.
With Sandro’s story, Gerald admitted he recalled a past incident which is also the same with that of Sandro.
In his Facebook account, Gerald revealed that many were tagging him about Sandro’s story.
“Ang dami nagmemessage, nagta-tag sa akin about this issue,” he said.
With that, past memories began to return which made him cry.
“Nagbalik ang sakit sa akin at hindi ko maiwasan maluha to imagine ang sinapit nya. My heart goes to Sandro and the whole Muhlach Family.. I was once in this situation but back then wala kang boses, walang social media. Unlike ngayon na nagkaroon na ng #MeToo movement,” he said.
“But i will hold my head up high for standing up amidst tremendous pressure to just let go of what happened. I hope he gets the justice i was once denied of,” he added.
Recall that Gerald was once molested by a well-known musician years ago.
With Gerald’s Facebook post, many showed empathy in the comment section.
“kung hindi mo man nakamit un hustisya dati praying and hoping makuha ni sandro un justice na para sa kanya.”
“Mas malalaki at maraming opportunities naman ang naging kapalit Gerald. Maraming nagtangka at nag aspire na makapasok sa international theatre pero isa ka sa kakaunting pinalad. At napakarami mo ng achievements dto mismo sa local entertainment industry.”
“hugs Gerald! We won’t let our shared pain will eat us for the rest of our lives. We move forward and live as normal as possible.”
Overwhelmed by his fans’ show of sympathy, he said: “Maraming salamat po sa overwhelming ninyong pagsuporta.. Hindi ko po maiwasang maluha at maging emosyonal #morecomingsoon.” (NIGEL CHAVEZ DE ESTRADA)
