Celebrities share their thoughts on social media after reports of the possible ‘early release’ of rape-slay convict and former Calauan, Laguna Mayor Antonio Sanchez.
Sanchez was sentenced to seven life terms or 360 years of imprisonment. He was accused of killing UPLB students Eileen Sarmienta and Allan Gomez.
“Mas madami namang ibang deserving ng second chance.. yung nagnakaw ng cellphone o delata para may pangkain ang pamilya niya.. madaming kasong ganun sa kulungan.. di hamak na mas deserving sa second chance kumpara sa proven guilty na rapist at killer,” TV host Bianca Gonzales said on Twitter.
Some even recalled how the celebrated case became part of their childhood like film director Quark Henares.
“That’s when i first heard about pedophilia and gang rape, and when I realized the world was not a nice place. I got a physical reaction finding out he was freed,” Henares said in a tweet.
“If something like that happens to one of your relatives or daughters, I am sure hindi nyo yan sasabihin. Nakakatakot malamang may ganyang klase ng tao na never nagkaron ng remorse na maaaring malayang makakagalaw,” actress Sunshine Cruz said on Facebook.
Angel Locsin commented on director Antoinette Jadaone’s post recalling the timeline of the 1993 Sarmienta-Gomez case.
“Naalala ko to. This is pure EVIL. Nakakanginig laman,” the actress said.
