Bea Rose Santiago: 'I was molested by a priest'

-


Former Miss International 2013 Bea Rose Santiago revealed last Monday, November 12, that she was molested by a priest when she was a child.

Santiago, 28, made the confession on Facebook as she points out that "sexual harassment is real not just in pageants but everywhere."

Her full revelations: "I was molested when I was a child by a priest. He is still preaching somewhere in Masbate;


"I was told 'why are you born too late! or sus sayang ka Bea, kong napanganak ka lang mas maaga' by a pageant guy winner. I was 12 years old and he was 21;

"I was once touched inappropriately by a well known businessman. This guy is a well known CEO of a big company (companies pa nga e) he even organized parties for girls who didn't win with his friends (I think hoping' they stopped it);

"The next time I met him I was a candidate and the organizers were there to see things thoroughly. He couldn’t interact with us because the chairwoman was present and so as the chaperones. - still he was talking nonsense to us;


"We were at the Congress or Senate? when a Queen was touched (her behind) while taking a photo. She immediately told me (with a help me look) so I put my hand covering her back protecting her from the old well known perv;'

"We just won an international pageant but still I was working when I posed with a middle aged man (I had a feeling he was a perv) so I put both my hands behind me. He still managed to 'accidentally swing her hand touching my behind;'

"It happens. No matter how careful you are. No matter how big/popular/old/ 'religious' a person is. He can still be a pervert. I still feel guilty for not speaking up and file complaints or slap the hell out of them. I guess speaking up now will help the future Queens. I am honestly really scared to speak up. I hope I wont regret this," says Santiago. - ROBERT REQUINTINA

And even Tito Bayani was telling me hindi na n'ya nakikita si Erpat. Lagi s'yang busy. Sinabi ni Tito Bayani, 'why don't you just text him?' "said Diego, when asked if he's reaching out to his father, during an interview on "Tonight With Boy Abunda" on ABS CBN. "Sabi ko, 'why not?' Nanghihinayang ako eh. Kung kelan ako sobrang seryoso na sa ginagawa ko sa showbiz na 'to, I wanna learn so much. I'm taking workshops with Tito Pen Medina at kung sinu-sino pa. Why not my dad? Why not my father?; "Nanghihinayang lang ako. Sa kont

Her complete post: "We are sleep-deprived & the noise is stressful for me, my husband and and my children when we are home, that living in a beautiful building that has its own hotel and restaurants (and that cost more than what I sold our Wack-Wack house for!?!) still makes us all want to move out and check into a nearby hotel or transfer to a house or another condo!; "I understand how uncomfortable it is for a homeowner to have to do some construction in his own property and know he’s inconveniencing and bothering neighbors; "I am usually very understanding.
