00:00In a hearing in the Senate yesterday, two independent contractors of the GMA denied the allegation of sexual harassment to the actor Sandro Mulac.
00:09Here is the first news, Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:14This is the first time in public that two actors, Sandro Mulac, were accused of sexual harassment.
00:20Richard Cruz, the script writer and creative consultant.
00:24And Giorgio Nones, former consultant and director, two independent contractors of the GMA Entertainment Group.
00:31In front of the Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass Media,
00:34they denied the accusation that the son of the veteran actor, Nino Mulac, was molested.
00:40We did not commit any sexual harassment or abuse against Sandro Mulac.
00:46On this occasion, in front of all of you, we hereby deny all of the alleged accusations against us.
00:59Guys, Sandro, we did not do anything wrong to you and you know that in your heart.
01:06Not everyone can tell the truth.
01:11In addition to the two,
01:13In our long history in the industry, there has never been a single complaint,
01:18whether it was sexual or anything else, that was filed against us.
01:22That is why we will not destroy the name, career, and reputation that we care about
01:33in order to abuse or harass a person.
01:36Especially since we know that the son of a famous artist and his family is influential.
01:42What is our fight against ordinary workers?
01:48We do not deny that we are gay.
01:51In fact, being gay is one of the reasons why we became creative, artistic,
01:57and acquired the skills needed in the industry.
02:00We have used our whole life,
02:02being gay in a proper way,
02:07to protect our families.
02:10They have a call to the public.
02:12In the end, we are also asking for justice.
02:15We hope that justice will give us a fair judgment.
02:19That is why we can prove to the fiscal court that we are not guilty.
02:25Let's just wait for the process, the due process.
02:29While we are waiting for that, we are asking the people not to judge us first.
02:36Let the convicted criminals be judged first.
02:40When Senator Jingo Estrada was asked about the details of the incident,
02:44the Executive Session asked for the two complaints that were submitted by the committee.
02:50After the Executive Session, where the comments were confidential,
02:54this is what some Senators said.
02:57We cannot divulge first yet the details of what transpired during the Executive Session.
03:06But what we all understand right now,
03:08there is a strong evidence against these two gentlemen.
03:17Nino read the reply of his son, Sandro, and Nones,
03:22at 4 a.m. on July 21,
03:25so that Nones could show that he was the first to message Sandro.
03:29In defense of Nones' lawyer,
03:31they did not deny who was the first to text,
03:34but they did not invite Sandro to the hotel room.
03:39I was invited to drink, ha ha ha ha,
03:43by Jojo.
03:45Then Sandro answered,
03:47I was also invited.
03:49Then Jojo answered again,
03:51Yes soon, I will cast you, I'm really there now,
03:55by Jojo.
03:56Wow sir, looking forward to that too.
03:59Then Jojo answered,
04:01Do you want, we have some alcohol here in the room,
04:05we can order some more.
04:07Sandro said,
04:08Who are you sir, ha ha ha ha.
04:11Just me.
04:12And then,
04:14Sandro did not reply for a long time.
04:16Of course, the kid saw that he was alone,
04:19he did not answer.
04:21Scared, right?
04:22Okay, so,
04:24after a while,
04:26he realized that he was not answering.
04:28Ha ha ha, just kidding.
04:30I'm with the drama peeps.
04:32But we're wrapping up in a bit.
04:34Are you still there sir?
04:35Can we go for a while?
04:37Sure.
04:38Are you with someone?
04:39No, just me.
04:41I'll just go down.
04:42Nino also said,
04:43in their first encounter,
04:45Cruz and Nones apologized to him.
04:49They were crying when they apologized.
04:51They were crying, both of them.
04:53And they even offered to donate a certain amount
04:58to a charitable institution of my choice.
05:01I told them,
05:03I'm just a human being,
05:05God knows how to forgive,
05:06I can forgive you,
05:07but you need to pay for what you did.
05:09The context was,
05:11sorry,
05:12but we did not do anything wrong.
05:15Sorry,
05:16but we did not do anything wrong to your son.
05:19In the next broadcast,
05:20Nino will also talk to his son
05:22if he can give his consent to the Senate
05:25even through video conferencing.
05:28This is the first news.
