Gerald Santos shared he received messages to attend the Senate hearing
Singer-theater actor Gerald Santos made more revelations about the musical director who allegedly harassed him.
Gerald spoke about the harassment that he experienced when he was still a minor after Sparkle artist Sandro Muhlach filed a complaint against GMA independent contractors Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz.
The singer-theater actor shared that he also filed a complaint regarding what he experienced but he was not heard. Instead, he said, his contract was not renewed after he was given lesser and lesser projects for going against his alleged harasser whose close friend is an executive of the network.
Gerald Santos released a YouTube video encouraging other victims to speak up in order to spread awareness and avoid this kind of thing happening repeatedly.
In his second video, the singer-theater actor stressed that he has “resibo” for his revelation, this included that letter that he sent to GMA regarding his complaint but a year passed, and still, there was no response.
Just recently, Gerald released the third part of his revelations. He mentioned that his alleged harasser is still working as a musical director in different shows.
He said that there is a possibility that this person is still victimizing vulnerable artists like him years ago. This is the reason why Gerald is speaking and wanting to give justice to what happened.
The singer also stressed that this MD should not work with minors anymore because he already had a history of liking young male artists. Gerald mentioned that there was a young artist who complained about the MD but the young artist was “napag-initan.”
Gerald also shared that there was a time when he had a birthday production on GMA’s SOP and that the musical director was assigned to supervise his production number.
The said MD messaged him to rehearse in his hotel room at around 12 midnight. Since there was already a harassment that happened before this, Gerald said that he felt scared.
He texted his parents and his now-manager Rommel Ramilo about this. His manager is a medical doctor by profession so Gerald was told to message the musical director that he took an anti-histamine and he was still so sleepy and he couldn’t rehearse.
Gerald Santos thought that it was okay but on the day of his birthday prod, everyone in the studio was hostile towards him. Later on, he found out that he was reported for his alleged attitude problem.
Eventually, he was suspended indefinitely and the funny reason that was given to him was that he was too skinny and fragile-looking on stage. Even though this was the supposed reason, the management did not even give him a dietician or nutritionist to help him.
With the sadness he felt for the unreasonable suspension, Gerald Santos said that he ate too much and gained weight drastically to the point that he developed varicose veins.
He also shared that he has received messages inviting him to the Senate hearing. Gerald said that he could not reveal in-depth details of what happened to him and perhaps he could reveal more during the Senate hearing.
