Santos made this revelation through a vlog on his YouTube channel on Wednesday, Aug.
28. This came a day after he disclosed the identity of Tan as his alleged abuser at the Senate hearing investigating sexual abuse in the entertainment industry. “Pinangalanan ko na po ang taong umabuso sa akin.
Siya po ay si Mr. Danny Tan,” Santos said. “Nung pinangalanan ko po siya kahapon, ako po ay gulat na gulat dahil may mga nag-message po sa akin na mga ilan niya rin pong nabiktima.
” “Ang kinagulantang ko po ay meron din po na mas bata pa sa akin nung naganap po ang pang-aabuso. Grabe po,” he lamented. Santos, who earlier stated that he was sexually abused in 2005 when he was just 15 years old, then stressed that he is not in the position to speak about the other victims’ experiences.
“Siguro langit na po ang gumagawa ng paraan para mapanagot o mapatigil ang ginagawang kasamaan nitong taong ito,” he added. Santos also likened the recent coming forward of sexual abuse victims in the Philippine entertainment industry to the beginning of the #MeToo movement in the United States. Addressing other alleged victims, Santos urged, “Panahon na.
This is the time. Lumabas na kayong lahat.” Legal action vs Tan D.
