Gerald Santos finally named the person whom he alleged to have raped him while he was just starting his career as singer.
At a recent hearing of the Senate committee on public information and mass media, Gerald identified songwriter and musical director Danny Tan as the person who sexually abused him several years ago.
“Ngayon po ay handa na po akong harapin ang tunay kong kalaban: ang nanghalay at umabuso sa akin noong ako po ay 15 years old. Si Mr. Danny Tan,” he said.
Gerald went on to share how he was seemingly eased out of GMA after he informed management of the abuse.
“Ito po ang personal kong naranasan at matatawag ko po itong jeopardy. Ako na po ang naabuso, ako pa po ang nawalan ng trabaho,” he said.
When Senator Jinggoy Estrada asked if he intends to file charges against his abuser, Gerald answered that they are still studying as to the appropriate charges to file.
He would go on to urge GMA to share with him a copy of their investigation of the incident "para magamit namin sa pagbuild up ng case.”
Gerald made clear: “Hindi ko po ito laban against GMA, kung hindi sa mga taong gumagawa ng kahalayan at kasamaan."
