- Ces Drilon released an official statement regarding the complaint.
- Marie has not explained her side yet.
Bashers already poured their wrath on Ces Drilon and Marie Lozano after Gretchen Fullido filed a complaint against them in court.
Gretchen’s supporters are convinced that they’ve done an unforgivable act.
Ces Drilon released an official statement earlier regarding the issue but that didn’t stop people from bashing the former news anchor. Here’s her full statement:
“It pains me to have to issue this statement because women should support each other especially in an issue like sexual harassment.
“Throughout my life, I have been an advocate of women’s rights and women’s empowerment.
“As a victim of sexual harassment once before, it is unthinkable for me to say what Gretchen Fullido alleges I did.
“I encourage and support women to exercise their rights to come out with truthful stories of harassment and abuse and I would never belittle any such move.
“I was asked to testify in an internal, confidential investigation into Gretchen’s allegations and some of what I said during the investigation has been distorted.
“I reserve the right to consider legal proceedings against these false allegations and attack on my reputation.
“Again, I would never belittle any woman coming out to speak of any abuse committed against her. It is against everything I stand for as a woman.”
People are still waiting for Marie Lozano’s statement.
Gretchen Fullido’s case is already in the hands of the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office. She will leave the decision to the court.
