Kampo ni Sandro, nanghihingi rin ng resulta sa GMA

MANILA, Philippines — Kahapon lang nagpadala ng statement ang legal counsel ni Sandro Muhlach na si Atty. Czarina Raz ng PunoLaw.

Bahagi ng pahayag nila, “Des­pite the relentless efforts to distort the facts, mislead the public, and even castigate Sandro, the truth always prevails. The Department of Justice’s finding of prima facie evidence with reasonable certainty of conviction to charge Respondents Jojo Tawasil Nones and Richard Dode Cruz for the crimes of rape through sexual assault and acts of lasciviousness reinforces our belief in the justice system and the rule of law.

“We will continue our fight for Sandro and we have faith that our justice system will uphold the truth, honor Sandro’s courage, and hold his perpetrators accountable for their atrocities.

“We hope that Sandro’s bravery will inspire other victims like him. Indeed, it is time that we all acknowledge the hard reality that even men can be victims of rape.

“At this point, we also urge GMA Network, Inc. to issue its resolution on the complaint of Sandro against Mr. Cruz and Mr. Nones which, to date, is still pen­ding. We trust that GMA Network, Inc. will honor its commitment that the investigation against Mr. Nones and Mr. Cruz is being conducted with the ‘highest standards of fairness and impartiality’.”

Hiningan namin ng reaksyon si Atty. Annette Gozon-Valdes ukol dito.

Ang sabi ni Atty. Annette, tinatapos pa lang daw ng body ang draft findings ng kanilang imbestigasyon.
