Deniece tells Vhong: 'I will still pray for you'

MANILA, Philippines – “Magpakalalaki ka.”

This is Deniece Cornejo’s message to actor Vhong Navarro in an interview with GMA-7’s showbiz talk show “Startalk” on Sunday, February 2.

Cornejo, who alleged Vhong of attempting to rape her in her condominium unit in Taguig City on January 22, asked the comedian to be responsible for his actions.

She also defended businessman Cedric Lee and his companions from Vhong’s claims that they mauled and tried to extort money from him.

“Kuya Vhong, hindi ito pelikula. Totoong buhay ito. Oo komedyante ka, pero lahat ng saya merong dark side. May kalungkutan din na kailangan mong harapin,” Cornejo said.

“Magpakalalaki ka dahil itong mga lalaking ito na parang mga kapatid ko,” she said of Lee and his friends. “Pag ang kapatid ko mali, mali. Hindi ko sila kakampihan.”

She further said: “Kung ang iniisip mo career mo, trabaho mo, tutulungan kita. Sa pangalawang pagkakataon, susuklian ko ng kabutihan.”

“Kung meron man ditong binaboy, hindi ikaw, kundi ako ang binaboy mo.”

Cornejo also said she’s ready to risk her life to prove she is telling the truth.

“Kuya Vhong, ngayon panalo ka. Pasensya, simple lang ako, hindi ako makapangyarihan. Ngayon panalo ka, pero matakot ka sa ikalawang buhay. Ako, handa akong ibuwis ang buhay ko na nagsasabi ako ng katotohanan. Hindi ako natatakot. Hindi po ako natatakot. Mas ikakatakot ko ang ikalawang buhay sa impiyerno,” Cornejo said.

“Kung ikaw nasaktan diyan, mas matakot ka. Ako iyon ang kinakatakutan ko, e.”

Ending her interview, Cornejo said: “Kuya Vhong, I will still pray for you.”

"I will still pray for you, na sana gumaling ka, na sana yung family mo maiintindihan din ako.”

Vhong’s camp filed serious illegal detention, grave threats, grave coercion, blackmail and serious physical injuries cases against the group of Lee and Cornejo last week.
