00:00The emotional actor, Sandro Mulac, was accused by the Senate of abusing him, Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz.
00:08Nones refused to answer some of the questions, so Senator Gingo Estrada answered them.
00:14Here is the first news, Sandra Ginaglo.
00:16In front of the actor, Sandro Mulac, during the Senate hearing, he found it hard to talk about the sexual abuse he experienced.
00:28When he arrived at the hotel room, he complained about Jojo Nones and Richard Dode Cruz.
00:58Next, Nones offered him a glass of wine, and he was given white substance.
01:28We will not repeat the detailed and sensitive story of Sandro.
01:34Even Senator Gingo Estrada, his testimony was cut short.
01:39It's going to be...
01:42It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
01:44I understand.
01:46They took turns.
01:48Yes, Your Honor.
01:50Stop it, stop it, stop it.
01:52Sandro said that when he wanted to leave, he was stopped.
01:57Actually, Your Honor, before I left, they didn't want me to leave.
02:02They wanted me to stay there until the check-out time of the hotel.
02:05They were pulling me.
02:07Jojo was still removing my shoes.
02:10They wanted me to rest.
02:12Cruz was not present at the hearing because he had to go to the hospital due to gastrointestinal bleeding.
02:20Nones was the one who answered the allegations.
02:23You still deny?
02:24I would like to invoke my right to self-incrimination, Your Honor.
02:28Since the case is already in the DOJ, we will answer there.
02:32Using that right, Nones did not answer a lot of questions from the Senator.
02:38I don't think it is fair and proper that you detain me just because I invoked my constitutional right to self-incrimination, Your Honor.
02:46I am asking you a question, a valid question.
02:50There is no compulsion. We are not a court, Your Honor.
02:54I invoke my right to self-incrimination because I don't want to answer details of the case, Your Honor.
02:59This is already part of our defense.
03:01But the question that I'm asking you is not an incriminating question.
03:06But Sandro's father, Ninong Mulac, said that both of them admitted that they agreed to meet.
03:15I don't understand why all of a sudden their story changed.
03:21That was the main reason why they apologized.
03:24That's why we met because they wanted to say sorry because they thought it was okay.
03:29They thought it was consensual.
03:31Did you apologize? Yes or no?
03:33I invoke my right to self-incrimination, Your Honor.
03:36I already answered this question, Your Honor.
03:39You didn't accept my answer, Your Honor.
03:42You didn't accept my answer, Your Honor.
03:44I invoke my right to self-incrimination. This is my constitutional right.
03:47Don't argue!
03:57You're the one who's arrogant here.
04:02I'm not arrogant, Your Honor. I also have constitutional rights.
04:06I know your rights.
04:08And yet you have detained me for eight days, Your Honor.
04:12I will still detain you.
04:17For just exercising my constitutional rights, you continue to detain me.
04:21I know your rights.
04:22It's an injustice.
04:23I know your rights.
04:24After the hearing, they still brought Nones to the detention facility of the Senate.
04:29When Senator Robin Padilla, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass Media,
04:35heard about the abuses in the showbiz,
04:38he said he was doing it to help the violation of the law.
04:43We are not stopping anyone here. We need to make a law.
04:48And it's up to you to help us with simple questions.
04:56The singer, Jared Santos, appeared again,
04:59and he was accused of being a musical director,
05:02when he was only 15 years old.
05:06The one who hit me and broke my heart when I was only 15 years old was Mr. Donny Tan.
05:13He also thanked the GMA Network for their efforts in accusing him.
05:20It's an honor for me to officially know that GMA did something against the person I accused 19 years ago.
05:28If only we were able to give our formal request on February 28, 2011,
05:35that we are only accused as a result of the investigation of GMA,
05:40we might have been able to strengthen ourselves and file a case in the right court.
05:46Even so, thank you very much to GMA for the action they took in the complaint I filed.
05:54We are still trying to get Tan's statement.
05:58The lawyer of Santos is still studying the person who can be charged,
06:02especially since it's been 19 years.
06:05This is the first news, Sandra Aguinaldo for GMA Integrated News.
