00:00The emotional actor, Sandro Mulac of Ilahan sa Senado became the first one to be abused by Jonio Nones and Richard Doli Cruz.
00:07Nones answered some of the questions, so Senator Jingo Estrada answered them.
00:13Breaking news, by Sandra Aguinaldo.
00:15In front of the actor, Sandro Mulac of Ilahan sa Senado, he finds it hard to talk about the sexual abuse he experienced.
00:26When he arrived at the hotel room, he complained about Jonio Nones and Richard Doli Cruz.
00:56Next, Nones offered him a glass of wine, and he was given white substance.
01:27We will not repeat the detailed and sensitive story of Sandro.
01:33Even Senator Jingo Estrada, his testimony was cut short.
01:37It's going to be...
01:41It's okay, it's okay, it's okay.
01:43I understand.
01:45They took turns.
01:47Yes, your honor.
01:49Stop, stop, stop.
01:51Actually, your honor, before I left, they didn't want me to leave.
02:01They wanted me to stay there until the check-out time of the hotel.
02:04They were pulling me.
02:06Jojo was still taking off my shoes, he wanted me to rest.
02:11Cruz was not heard because he had to be taken to the hospital due to gastrointestinal bleeding.
02:18Nones was the one who answered the allegations.
02:21You still deny?
02:22I would like to invoke my right to self-incrimination, your honor.
02:26Since the case is already in the DOJ, we will answer there.
02:30He did not mention the name.
02:31Using that right, Nones did not answer the many questions of the senator.
02:36I don't think it is fair and proper that you detain me just because I invoke my constitutional right to self-incrimination, your honor.
02:44I am asking you a question, a valid question.
02:49There is no compulsion. We are not courts, your honor.
02:52I invoke my right to self-incrimination because I don't want to answer details of the case, your honor.
02:58This is already part of our defense.
03:00But the question that I'm asking you is not an incriminating question.
03:04But the father of Sandro, Nino Mulac, said that the two confessed, so he agreed to meet them.
03:13I don't understand why all of a sudden, their story was revealed.
03:18That was the main reason why they apologized.
03:22That's why we met because they wanted to say sorry because they thought it was okay.
03:27They thought it was consensual.
03:29Did you apologize? Yes or no?
03:31I invoke my right to self-incrimination, your honor.
03:34I already answered this question, your honor.
03:37You didn't accept my answer, your honor.
03:40You didn't accept my answer, your honor.
03:42I invoke my right to self-incrimination.
03:44This is my constitutional right.
03:45You can't argue.
03:55You are the one who is arrogant here.
03:59I'm not arrogant, your honor.
04:01I also have constitutional rights.
04:03I know your rights.
04:05And yet, you have detained me for eight days, your honor.
04:11I will still detain you.
04:13For just exercising my constitutional rights, you continue to detain me.
04:21I know your rights.
04:23After the hearing, Nones was still brought to the detention facility of the Senate.
04:29Senator Robin Padilla, chairman of the Senate Committee on Public Information and Mass Media,
04:35said that the abuse of showbiz is done to help the violation of the law.
04:43We are not defending anything here.
04:45We need to make a law.
04:47And it's up to you to help us with simple questions.
04:55The singer, Jared Santos, was re-invited to the court.
04:59His mother, who is a musical director, accused him of abusing her when he was just 15 years old.
05:05The one who abused me when I was just 15 years old was Mr. Donny Tan.
05:11He also thanked the GMA Network for attacking him for allegedly abusing him.
05:19It is a great honor for me to officially know that the GMA Network has done something against the person I accused 19 years ago.
05:27If only we were able to give our formal request on February 28, 2011,
05:33that we are only accused of being the result of an investigation by the GMA Network,
05:38we might have been able to strengthen ourselves and file a case in the right court.
05:45Thank you very much to the GMA Network for their action in the complaint that I filed.
05:53We are still trying to get Tan's statement.
05:56The lawyer of Santos is still studying the case that he was accused of abusing him more than 19 years ago.
