Sparkle artist Sandro Muhlach has taken legal action against two individuals, filing a formal complaint at the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI). The complaint was lodged on Friday, with Sandro being accompanied by his father, Niño Muhlach. According to “24 Oras,” GMA Integrated News is currently working to confirm the identities of the subjects involved in the complaint.
When approached for his thoughts on the situation, Sandro expressed his distress in a text message to GMA Integrated News, saying, “Hindi po ako OK pero kakayanin ko po” (I am not okay, but I will manage).
On Thursday, GMA Network released a statement acknowledging the receipt of a formal complaint from Sandro against two of its independent contractors, Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz. The network emphasized the gravity of the allegations and disclosed that it had already commenced its investigation into the matter even before the formal complaint was filed.
GMA Network has yet to provide further details regarding the ongoing investigation. However, they assured the public they were taking the necessary steps to address the situation appropriately.
Niño Muhlach, in a text message to GMA Integrated News, mentioned that he would make a formal statement once the criminal case related to the incident is fully filed. This indicates that the Muhlach family is taking the legal proceedings seriously and intends to see the case through to its conclusion.
In response to the allegations, Atty. Maggie Abraham-Garduque, the legal counsel representing Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz, issued a statement. She asserted that the claims made by Sandro do not accurately reflect the true events and stated that her clients reserve the right to respond formally once they receive a copy of the complaint.
The legal tussle has garnered significant media attention, especially given Sandro’s status as a Sparkle artist. The involvement of Niño Muhlach, a well-known actor, further amplifies the public interest in the case. The specifics of the alleged incident remain undisclosed, leaving the public and media in anticipation of more information as the investigation progresses.
GMA Network reiterated its commitment to ensuring a thorough and impartial investigation. They emphasized handling the situation with the utmost seriousness and sensitivity.
As the situation unfolds, updates from both the Muhlach family and GMA Network are expected to provide clearer insights into the nature of the allegations and the subsequent actions that will be taken.
