00:00This is the first time in public that two actors, Sandra Mulac, have been accused of sexual harassment.
00:08Richard Cruz, the scriptwriter and creative consultant, and Giorgio Nones, a former consultant and gay director,
00:16are independent contractors of the GMA Entertainment Group.
00:19In front of the Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass Media,
00:22they denied the accusation that the son of veteran actor Nino Mulac was molested.
00:28We did not commit any sexual harassment or abuse against Sandra Mulac.
00:35On this occasion, in front of all of you,
00:40we reject all alleged accusations against us.
00:47To Sandra, we did not do anything wrong to you and you know that in your heart.
00:55Not all of them will tell the truth.
01:00In addition to the two,
01:01in our long history in the industry,
01:04there was not a single complaint, whether sexual or whatever, that was filed against us.
01:11That is why we will not destroy the name, career, and reputation that we care about
01:21in order to abuse or harass a person.
01:24Especially since we know that the son of a famous actor has an influential family.
01:31What is our fight against ordinary workers, against them?
01:37We do not deny that we are gay.
01:39In fact, being gay is one of the reasons why we became creative, artistic,
01:45and had the skills needed in the industry.
01:48We have used our whole life,
01:52our being gay in a proper way,
01:55in order to protect our families.
01:58They have a call to the public.
02:00In the end, we also asked for justice.
02:03May justice be given for the malicious harassment against us.
02:08That is why we can prove to the fiscal or court that we are not guilty.
02:13Let us just wait for the process, the due process.
02:17While we are waiting for that, we are asking the people
02:21not to judge us first.
02:24Let the convicted criminals be judged first.
02:28In the questioning of Senator Jingo Estrada,
02:30in connection with some details of the incident,
02:33the Executive Session asked for the two complaints that were filed by the committee.
02:38After the Executive Session,
02:40where the conversations were confidential,
02:42this is what some senators said.
02:45We cannot divulge first yet the details of what transpired during the Executive Session.
02:53But what we all understand right now,
02:56there is a strong evidence against these two gentlemen.
03:04Nino read the reply of his son Sandro and Linones
03:10at 4 a.m. on July 21,
03:13to show that Ninones was the first to message Sandro.
03:18In defense of Ninones' lawyer,
03:20they did not deny who texted first,
03:23but they did not invite Sandro to the hotel room.
03:27I was invited to a drink.
03:29Ha ha ha ha.
03:31It was Jojo.
03:33Then Sandro answered,
03:35I was there too.
03:37Then Jojo answered again,
03:39Yes soon, I will cast you.
03:42Jojo said,
03:44Wow sir, looking forward to that too.
03:47Jojo answered,
03:49Do you want?
03:51We have some alcohol here in the room.
03:53You can order some more.
03:55Sandro said,
03:57Who are you sir? Ha ha ha ha.
03:59Just me.
04:01And then,
04:03Sandro did not reply for a long time.
04:06Of course, the kid saw that he was alone.
04:09He did not answer.
04:12He was afraid, right?
04:14Okay, so,
04:16After a while,
04:18maybe,
04:20he realized that he was not answering.
04:22Ha ha ha, just kidding.
04:24I was with the drama peeps.
04:26But we're wrapping up in a bit.
04:28Are you still there sir?
04:30Can you come over for a while?
04:32Sure, are you with someone?
04:34No, just me.
04:36Nino said,
04:38Nina Cruz and Nones,
04:40apologized to them.
04:42They were crying when they apologized.
04:44They were crying, both of them.
04:46And they even offered to donate a certain amount
04:51to a charitable institution of my choice.
04:54I told them,
04:56I'm just a human being.
04:58God knows how to forgive.
05:00But you have to pay for what you did.
05:02The context is,
05:05Sorry, but we didn't do anything wrong to your son.
05:08In the next broadcast,
05:10Nino will also talk to his son
05:12if he can give his consent
05:14to the Senate even through video conferencing.
