Saying that she did not know all the facts and “it is not my place” to comment on the issue, Calzado said in a tweet Monday that “I commend Gretchen for being brave to come forward and speak up.”

Calzado said she knew people from both ends, making it “vital” for her to reach out to them first before posting her opinion on social media.

“May this matter be about justice and not about women being pitted against other women,” the actress added.

On Friday, Oct. 5, Fullido filed a sexual harassment complaint against former ABS-CBN news executive Cheryl Favila and news segment producer Maricar Asprec before the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office.

She also filed libel charges against ABS-CBN news executives Cecilia “Ces” Drilon and Venancio Borromeo, and reporter Marie Lozano. /cbb
