Read Statement From Bea Alonzo Legal Counsel Atty. Joey Garcia
BEA ALONZO – The legal counsel of Kapuso actress Bea Alonzo Atty. Joey Garcia responded to the labor complaint form the actress’ former driver.
Bea Alonzo is questioning the timing and motivation behind a labor complaint filed by her former driver, Efren Torres Delos Reyes, calling it “highly suspect.”
On Thursday, radio host Cristy Fermin read Delos Reyes’ formal complaint, which included issues regarding night shift differential pay, overtime pay, holiday pay, 13th month pay, and allegations of illegal dismissal, maltreatment, harassment, and lack of separation pay.
Alonzo stated on Sunday through her lawyer, Joey Garcia. The statement sent to ABS-CBN News reads: “The timing of Mr. Delos Reyes’ filing of the labor case is highly suspect.”
It added: Since he was made a witness to one of the respondents among the criminal cases we filed not to mention him being a lover as admitted, then the intent behind said filing & the timeliness of such filing are too obvious not to be noticed.
His acknowledgment of being involved as a lover magnifies his bias and undermines his credibility which yet again puts into question or doubt the true intent behind his & her lover-respondent’s legal maneuvers.

Alonzo’s legal team argued that Delos Reyes’ admission of being involved as a lover raises questions about his objectivity and credibility.
For the record, Mr. Delos Reyes only served as service driver of the family and only for a short period of 3 months, he was not even assigned as Bea’s personal driver, for her professional engagements. Thus, his claims seem farfetched, unreasonable, if not unrealistic.”
Bea’s legal team described the complaint as “a pure harassment case.”
“It’s nothing but a pure harassment case, a desperate attempt to sponge off, an obvious act capitalizing on the criminal case.”
