“Yung psychiatric at psychological support po sa biktima ay napakalaking bagay lalo po kung bata ang biktima para magkaroon ng safeguards para kahit inalis na po yung sex offenders ay hindi na mababalikan o magagantihan ng mga kaibigan ng nasa posisyon at may loyalty doon sa taong tinanggal,” Santos said.
“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 added.

“Pinangalanan ko na po ang taong umabuso sa akin. Siya po ay si Mr. Danny Tan,” Santos said.
“Nung pinangalanan ko po siya kahapon, ako po ay gulat na gulat dahil may mga nag-message po sa akin na mga ilan niya rin pong nabiktima.”
“Ang kinagulantang ko po ay meron din po na mas bata pa sa akin nung naganap po ang pang-aabuso. Grabe po,” he added. “Siguro langit na po ang gumagawa ng paraan para mapanagot o mapatigil ang ginagawang kasamaan nitong taong ito.”
Gerald Santos notes that he may not be in the position to speak up for the victims, he urges them to come forward. “Panahon na. This is the time. Lumabas na kayong lahat.”
