Five charges have been filed by the waiter who was berated by former TV personality and host Jude Bacalso following the incident where the former addressed the latter as “sir.”
On Wednesday, August 28, Bacalso was charged with Unjust Vexation, Grave Scandal, Grave Coercion, Grave Threats, and Slight Illegal Detention.
“As of now, the victim is still traumatized but is trying to co-exist with society. We’re also helping him but the effect (of the incident) to his mental health was significant,” said Atty. Ron Ivan Gingoyon from Cabrido and Law Firm who is representing the server.
Atty. Gingoyon also remarked that Bacalso has not made any attempt on her end to settle the issue with the waiter.
Online attention regarding the incident sparked after an image went trending showing the waiter being made to stand in front of Bacalso for allegedly two hours.
