Alvin Campomanes, the history teacher who complained of suffering verbal abuse from TV-movie director Cathy Garcia-Molina on the set of the soap opera “Forevermore,” met with ABS-CBN officers and representatives last Saturday.
In an email, Camponanes told Inquirer Entertainment that the meeting “ended well.”
Present at the meeting were ABS-CBN officials Cory Vidanes, Lauren Dyogi and Malou Santos. Molina was also present, along with Jeng and John Leonardo and Mean Rejano whom Campomanes identified as “the owner of the talent agency.”
Campomanes also related that “the heads of the ‘Forevermore’ team were also there. Kane Choa, head of ABS-CBN Corporate Communications, and a representative from the network’s Ombudsman also attended the meeting.
For his part, Campomanes brought along “Prof. Jun Talegon (of the Filipino department of the University of Asia and the Pacific) to witness the dialogue.”
Last December, Campomanes’ girlfriend, TV talent Rossellyn Domingo, posted an open letter on Facebook, deploring the humiliation they suffered on the set of “Forevermore.” The letter, which detailed their bad experience with director Molina, eventually went viral.
