Actor Sandro Muhlach has broken his silence on his recent legal battle, expressing his gratitude to the justice system for officially admitting to his sexual assault allegations.

Muhlach’s statement came after The Department of Justice filed criminal charges against two former television consultants, Jojo Tawasil Nones and Richard Dode Cruzin relation to the alleged abuse.

In an emotional post on his Instagram story, Muhlach reflected on the courage it took to come forward, sharing the personal difficulty of opening up about his experience as a survivor of sexual assault and abuse.

“It was very difficult for me to tell my story — to come forward and tell the public that I was sexually assaulted and abused,” Muhlach wrote. He shared how many victims’ fears of coming forward became a reality, with the added burden of online criticism and bullying he endured in the process.

“’Yung mga kinakatakutan mangyari ng gaba persoane, nganyari is similar. In addition to the trauma I suffered… I also had to endure online harassment and harsh and cruel criticism,” he explained. Muhlach noted how some accused him of dishonesty due to a perceived lack of evidence, deepening his struggle to maintain his composure and self-confidence.

Despite these challenges, the actor said he remained hopeful, adding that he felt validated by the formal recognition of his case by the justice system. “Finally, our justice system has recognized the truth,” he said.

In closing, Muhlach encouraged the other survivors to stand up for themselves and refuse to be silenced. “To all rape and sexual abuse victims out there, ‘find us and act…'” he concluded, urging victims to find strength in their stories.

The case attracted significant public attention, and Muhlach’s statement sparked further dialogue regarding support for survivors and the personal challenges they face in seeking justice.
