MANILA — Actor Sandro Muhlach formally filed a complaint before the Department of Justice on Monday against two GMA independent contractors.

Sandro and his father Niño Muhlach arrived at the DOJ to file a complaint of rape through sexual assault against the two independent contractors, Jojo Nones and Richard Cruz.

"Finally, umabot na kami sa araw na ito na we’re finally filing a case and onwards… siyempre magkakaroon na ng mga court hearing and siguro soon makakamit rin namin 'yung justice, which Sandro deserves," the elder Muhlach told reporters.

"Parang nakaluwang-luwang sa dibdib dahil umabot na tayo sa araw na ito. Ambigat kasi nakikita mo ‘yung anak mo araw-araw na nagsa-suffer, di makakain, di makatulog," he added.

The respondents in the sexual abuse complaint filed by Sandro Muhlach earlier responded with "absolute denial of all the allegations," according to their lawyer.
