MIKO GALLARDO REVEALS HE WAS RAPED, SEXUALLY ASSAULTED
"Let's go back to the past where it all began.
"Maybe if I do go back in the past and talk about it, it will give a sense to why I am here in this situation right now.
"Maybe I can only blame myself.
"But when I was only eight years old, I was raped by two people I trusted as older sisters.
"I will not be dropping any names. I'll be as straightforward as possible just to give an idea.
"I was also almost raped by older men when I was around the same age. But the only reason they didn't go through with it was because they almost got caught.
"But I did not speak up. I was a scared little boy who never talks.
"But this time, I'll say it all, I don't care. I don't give a f*ck. I don't give a f*ck anymore."
"Ten years old all the way up, around 16, 17... I don't even remember anymore. I had a sexual relationship with an older woman who was way older.
"Growing up, that really f*cked up my mind. Filled my head with anger, lust, and bad choices.
"And that's the reason maybe why I'm here."
"When my career started, I got people sexually assaulting me in this industry, the acting industry.
"Yeah, Filipino PD trying to get me many, many times. But I never spoke up.
"They told me to shut up, take it in, and just focus on my career.
"That messed me up big time. Led me to bad decisions, bad choices, substance abuse, alcohol, you name it."
"They never got a hold of me because I always try to find a way to reason out or run away.
"But I was never able to fight back because if you do, you know what happens when you fight back in this industry?
"You know what happens? They bury you.
"I don't want to be buried. Life is about survival.
"And right now, I am trying to survive.
"Those big names trying to get me."
"I'm still alive. I'm still kicking. Begging for my life back.
"So that person who has control over me right now, you know what I've been through.
"You know the sh*t that I had to crawl my ass out of.
"So let's make a deal. Let's end things peacefully.
"Give me a chance to live again.
"But if you give me no choice and just tell me to end my life while you laugh about it or celebrate over it, you tell me I deserve it, then you leave me with no choice.
"Who gives a sh*t, right. The world keeps spinning anyways."
"If you still have any humanity and sympathy left in you, let me go.
"Maybe I can't. No. Yeah, maybe I can only blame myself for being in this situation, for trusting you.
"So only I can end it.
"Let me go 'coz I'm tired. I'm f*ck*ing tired."
