Manila, Philippines- Naglabas ng opisyal na pahayag ang legal counsel ni Bea Alonzo tungkol sa mga reklamo ng driver na nagki-claim na nagtrabaho raw siya sa aktres.
Nagsampa ng kaso ang driver na si Efren Torres de los Reyes sa Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE).
Inireklamo ni De Los Reyes si Bea dahil sa ‘di raw pagpapatupad ng aktres sa pagbibigay ng night shift differential pay, overtime pay, holiday pay, 13th month pay, illegal dismissal, maltreatment, harassment, at payment of separation pay.
Pero sa nakalagay na official statement ng legal counsel ni Bea na si Atty. Joey Garcia, may malisya ang pag-file ng kaso ni De Los Reyes kontra kay Bea.
Nilinaw din ni Atty. Garcia na diumano ay kinuha ang driver ng pamilya ni Bea pero tumagal lamang ito ng tatlong buwan.
Bukod d’yan, diumano’y hindi si De Los Reyes ang naka-assign bilang personal driver ng aktres.
Para sa kumpletong detalye sa nilalalaman ng official statement ng legal counsel ni Bea, narito ang kabuuan:
“The timing of Mr. Delos Reyes’ filing of the labor case is highly suspicious.
“Since he was made a witness to one of the respondents among the criminal cases we filed not to mention him being a lover as admitted, then the intent behind said filing and the timeliness of such filing are too obvious not to be noticed.
“His acknowledgment of being involved as a lover clearly magnifies his bias and undermines his credibility which yet again puts into question or doubt the true intent behind his and her lover-respondent’s legal maneuvers.
“For the record, Mr. Delos Reyes only served as service driver of the family and only for a short period of 3 months, he was not even assigned as Bea’s personal driver, for her professional engagements.
“Thus, his claims seem farfetched, unreasonable, if not unrealistic.
“It’s nothing but a pure harassment case, a desperate attempt to sponge off, an obvious act capitalizing on the criminal case.” Julie Bonifacio
