00:00Ninio Mulac became emotional in front of the Senate hearing regarding the abuse of his son, Sandro.
00:07The Senate and the NBI have filed two complaints that were not brought to the hearing yesterday.
00:13We have first the news of Ma'am Gonzales.
00:19The actor Ninio Mulac could not stop crying when the Senate heard about the allegations of sexual harassment in the entertainment industry.
00:27He feels bad for the two abusers of his son, Sandro Mulac.
00:32I was really hurt when he told me what happened.
00:38To show your son that he's crying and he can't even hold his phone.
00:47When he told me what happened to him, anyone, father or parents, would feel the same way.
00:59He also expressed his pain for the two allegations of his son, Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz.
01:06Nones, who is also sick, worked on several projects.
01:10He's our head writer and I respect him a lot.
01:16I can't accept what he did to my son.
01:20I don't know the other one.
01:25I only met him when the incident happened.
01:30But I feel really bad for Jojo Nones.
01:34Now, they're reversing the situation.
01:39They're reversing Jojo and Richard's situation in their comments.
01:45In your story, where was Sandro when he first told his story?
01:49He's really my son.
01:53He told me his story.
01:57Before he told me his story, I found out that he told his story to his brother.
02:01He told me that he told his story to his brother.
02:05He said, I hope what happened to me won't happen to you.
02:12What happened to Sandro to me is what happened to me.
02:19Your blood pressure rose, so the hearing was suspended.
02:23Cruz and Nones did not attend the hearing.
02:25In their letter of regret, they explained that they will not be able to respond to the hearing
02:31on the policies of the media company on sexual harassment.
02:34They're not regular employees and they're just network consultants.
02:38There was also a criminal case filed against them by Sandro.
02:42According to him, they can deny it.
02:44The statements that has been stated here in this letter are unacceptable.
02:52I just would like to give a piece of advice to these two gentlemen.
02:56Don't pre-empt our questions.
02:59They were asked to leave for the next hearing.
03:03Sandro was also asked to leave for the next hearing.
03:06But he did not have a medical certificate.
03:08But his lawyer and NBI accepted his explanation.
03:12Sandro has just undergone something that has inflicted emotional and psychological trauma.
03:20So he is not in the mental and emotional state to be attending a hearing now.
03:27Mr. Sandro Mulac is still undergoing psychiatric evaluation.
03:33And psychological.
03:34So he will not be able to sleep because...
03:38It is advised to limit his speech about the events.
03:43If you're going to invite Sandro here,
03:46maybe there will be additional pain or whatever trauma that he will have.
03:55According to GMA Senior Vice President Attorney Annette Gozon Valdez,
03:59Nones and Cruz are not regular employees of the GMA Network.
04:02But they are still obligated to follow the policies of the network that conduct their own investigations.
04:09GMA does not condone.
04:11It also does not tolerate any acts of sexual abuse or harassment.
04:16We already submitted to the committee our code of conduct and our policies against sexual harassment
04:23and procedures against that.
04:25We immediately took jurisdiction over it as an admin case
04:30because we feel that there might be a sexual harassment case.
04:35So what we did was we immediately issued a preventive suspension order
04:40to the two being accused by Mr. Sandro Mulac.
04:44And now we are waiting for their reply
04:47because of course we follow the procedures of due process.
04:51We will conduct a fair and thorough investigation.
04:55When the Mulac family first approached Attorney Gozon Valdez,
04:59they asked for extreme confidentiality because the issue is sensitive.
05:04They apologized to me.
05:10They apologized to me.
05:12I can forgive you, but you have to pay for what you did.
05:15The Mulac family explained that the GMA Network is not included in their complaint.
05:19You will help the justice.
05:22Not Sandro.
05:24The justice will get justice.
05:27Yes.
05:28Of course, Your Honor.
05:30According to NBI, they also suspended the two being accused.
05:34Other media networks were also invited to listen,
05:37including ABS-CBN, TV5, and IBC-13, as well as talent agencies.
05:42They assured that they also have police officers in cases of sexual harassment.
05:47This is the first news.
05:48Mav Gonzales for GMA Integrated News.
