NewsTranscript
00:00In the first instance, Sandra Mulac herself told the Senate about the sexual harassment committed by Nina Richard Cruz and Jojo Nunez.
00:13In the middle, Nunez was contempted. Another celebrity complained to the Senate because of the experience of sexual harassment committed by Ma'am Gonzalez.
00:25In the middle of the videoconference, Sandra Mulac told the Senate about the allegations of sexual harassment in the media industry.
00:35She told that after their text exchange, she complained about the independent contractor of GMA Network, Jojo Nunez,
00:42she went to his room in a hotel in Pasay on the early day of July 21.
00:48When she arrived at the room, Nunez was greeted by Sandra.
00:51She was accompanied by another complainant, Richard Cruz.
00:54Cruz was drunk and was lying on the bed.
00:57Nunez gave Sandra a glass of wine.
00:59When asked what happened next, Sandra hesitated to answer.
01:17I asked Senator Padilla earlier, if the other party is not accepting...
01:24Oh, you want to have it in an executive session?
01:26If we don't finish this, this will go on and on.
01:33You're wasting our time here.
01:34Are you going to talk or not?
01:36If not, I'll leave.
01:38Sandra also held an executive session with the Senators.
01:42After this, she was the one who detailed what happened next.
01:47According to Sandra, Nunez was accused of drugs.
01:51I will charge you 500 pesos bill.
01:54Jojo ordered you to be accused? Is that what you call it?
01:59It's not in the picture.
02:01How many times did you say that you were accused?
02:08About three times, Your Honor.
02:12You kept drinking wine?
02:14Yes.
02:15Until you got drunk?
02:16Yes.
02:17Did you feel weak?
02:18Yes, Your Honor.
02:20When these two noticed you,
02:26what did you feel? Were you high?
02:30Did you feel weak?
02:33I was drunk, Your Honor.
02:35You lied down in the bed, am I correct?
02:37I didn't lie down. I was pulled from the bed.
02:40Who pulled you from the bed?
02:43Jojo Nunez, Your Honor.
02:44Sandra refused to detail what happened, but Nunez told her something.
02:49Is it true? Based on my investigation, Jojo Nunez told you?
02:56What happened here stays here?
02:58Yes, Your Honor.
02:59Who told you that?
03:01Jojo Nunez, Your Honor.
03:03You were sexually harassed, correct?
03:08Yes, Your Honor.
03:11Nunez and Cruz denied what Sandra said.
03:15You deny?
03:18Yes, Your Honor. We deny allegations.
03:21What did you do to the child?
03:24We didn't do anything bad to Sandra, Your Honor.
03:27What did you do?
03:29She was there.
03:30Really?
03:32We socialized, Your Honor.
03:34Your Honor, that's not true.
03:39You didn't pity the child?
03:41Your Honor, with all due respect, please don't judge us.
03:44We are not yet convicted in the case.
03:47But you're lying.
03:49We are not lying, Your Honor.
03:50Why are you judging? You're lying.
03:51We're also just defending our side.
03:56Nunez and Cruz also denied that they have made a donation to a charitable institution to be chosen by the Mulac family.
04:02Senate President Pro Tempore, Jingoy Estrada, was alarmed by this because it is a violation of the victim's affidavit
04:09as well as the witness, GMA Senior Vice President Atty. Annette Gozon Valdez.
04:14That's why the Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass Media condemned him.
04:18I move that he be cited in contempt.
04:20There is a motion to cite Mr. Jojo Nunez in contempt.
04:27Without any objection, the motion is approved, so ordered.
04:32Because of this, Nunez was detained by the Senate.
04:36Gerald Santos, a singer, was also cried when he heard that he was also a victim of rape in 2005.
04:43I was raped.
04:45You were raped?
04:46I was raped, Your Honor.
04:48By the musical director?
04:50Yes. I was only 15 years old at that time, Your Honor.
04:56I don't have a strong heart.
04:58When the abuse happened to me, I don't have a strong heart.
05:05I was just a contestant back then.
05:07He has power over us, over me.
05:11That's why I couldn't say anything.
05:16Gerald filed a case in the GMA Network five years after the incident.
05:20Based on the document held by Estrada, the musical director was suspended and dismissed by the GMA.
05:26But Gerald said that he felt that his career was affected.
05:31This musical director is connected to other executives inside.
05:38I was heated inside.
05:44Even though he was dismissed, I was also dismissed from the network.
05:50In the end, Gerald was released from the GMA Artist Center and moved to another network.
05:55The GMA Network assured that it never covered up sexual harassment in the company.
06:01The investigation of Sandro's case continues and the two accused are under preventive suspension.
06:06GMA has had a policy against sexual harassment.
06:09And we have been strict about it.
06:11Again, we have never covered up any incident of sexual harassment.
06:16If they say that the department is not acting on it, they can go directly to legal, to HR, or to the office of the president.
06:23So there are different avenues, Mr. Chair.
06:25We do not encourage any form of cover-up.
06:29In fact, if there is someone that is covering up the matter, we also file an administrative case against them.
06:36For the GMA Integrated News, Mav Gonzales, Nakatutok, 24 Hours.
06:43The GMA Network opposes all forms of abuse.
06:49In one statement, the GMA said that it does not allow any form of abuse to artists, personalities, employees, independent contractors, and other stakeholders.
07:04This is followed by the action of the Network after it received the formal complaint of Gerald Santos in 2010.
07:14The investigation was carried out immediately.
07:16And after this, the Network immediately implemented the appropriate punishment for the accused.
07:23The GMA terminated the contract of the accused and he was not given a job after this.
07:31But what is included in the formal complaint filed by Gerald in 2010 is different from the accusation of rape that he mentioned in the Senate.
07:43It is only now that the GMA knows about this matter.
07:48The GMA also clarified the statement of Gerald that he was removed from the Network.
07:55He was the one who asked for an early release from his management contract in 2010 that was given by the GMA.
08:04In the same year, he immediately appeared on other TV networks.
08:09In addition, Gerald also tried to return to the GMA after his contract with TV5 in 2013.
