Bea Alonzo issues statement on labor complaint filed against her

Following former driver Efren Torres Delos Reyes’ labor case against her, actress Bea Alonzo’s camp released a statement addressing the allegations.

During her radio show, entertainment columnist Cristy Fermin shared Delos Reyes’ complaints against Bea, which included accusations of illegal dismissal, maltreatment, harassment, and lack of separation pay.

“Nagkaso po si Efren Torres delos Reyes, Jr sa NLRC Department of Labor and Employment. Bibigyan po sila ng pagkakataong magkausap at magkita sa gitna dahil napakarami po ng reklamong isinumite nitong si Efren Torres,” said Cristy.

In response, Bea’s legal representative, Joey Garcia, denounced the lawsuit as malicious, citing suspicions regarding the timing and Delos Reyes’ involvement in criminal cases where he served as a witness.

“The timing of Mr. Delos Reyes’ filing of the labor case is highly suspect. 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,” Garcia stated.

He further clarified that Delos Reyes had only worked for Alonzo’s family as a service driver for a brief three-month period and was not specifically assigned as Bea’s personal driver for her professional commitments. He dismissed the claims as baseless and suggested they were an attempt to exploit the ongoing criminal case.

“It’s nothing but a pure harassment case, a desperate attempt to sponge off, an obvious act capitalizing on the criminal case,” he added.
