On March 10, Aaron Villaflor addressed the controversy that tagged him in the viral sex video scandal. His full statement:

"I am formally addressing the unauthorized recording and illegal distribution of private video materials that have been circulating online in recent days.

"My previous statement, dated February 27, referred only to old film clips taken from past projects. However, the recent coordinated release of alleged private footage is a serious criminal matter.

"The unauthorized recording and distribution of private and intimate content is a clear violation of Republic Act No. 9995 and other laws that protect individuals from digital abuse and privacy violations.

"As both a citizen and a public servant, I strongly condemn the weaponization of private content and all forms of digital violence. No person deserves to have their dignity violated in this way.

"The matter has now been formally referred to the authorities for proper investigation. Out of respect for the legal process, I will refrain from making further comments while the investigation is ongoing."

Nikko Natividad

On March 6, Nikko broke down during his admission of involvement in a recent viral sex video scandal.

In an interview with entertainment journalist Ogie Diaz, Nikko shared that his wife became emotional after seeing the viral video that showed him being intimate with another woman.

"Na demonyo ako. Natukso, bumigay ako. Nangyari ’yon noong 2023 o 2024. Walang ibang reason yun. Na demonyo ako. Yun lang. Hindi kami nag-away ng asawa ko. Inamin kong mali yung ginawa ko. (I was demonized. I was tempted, and I gave in. It happened in 2023 or 2024. There was no other reason. I was demonized. That's all. I didn't fight with my wife. I admitted what I did was wrong.)
