GMA Network announced today, Aug. 1, that it had received a formal complaint against two GMA independent contractors, Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz.

In a statement, the Kapuso Network said it had initiated its investigation before receiving the formal complaint.

Sandro, 23, is the son of actor-businessman Nino Muhlach. Reports earlier said that Sandro was allegedly sexually harassed by two men during the GMA Gala at the Marriott Hotel Manila last July 20.

The full statement:

"GMA Network has just received a formal complaint from Sparkle artist Sandro Muhlach against two GMA independent contractors, Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz.

"Recognizing the seriousness of the alleged incident, GMA Network had already initiated its own investigation even before receiving the formal complaint.

"Respecting Sandro’s request for confidentiality, the investigating body will withhold all details of the formal investigation until its conclusion.

"The Network assures the public and all stakeholders of its commitment to conducting this investigation with the highest standards of fairness and impartiality."
