Emotional Vhong Navarro Speaks Out After Deniece Cornejo and Cedric's Sentencing

Vhong Navarro, the actor and TV host, shared his heartfelt reaction after Cedric Lee, Deniece Cornejo, and two others involved in his 2014 case were found guilty by the court.

During the recent episode of "It’s Showtime," Navarro took a moment to express his gratitude to everyone who stood by him throughout the nearly decade-long legal battle.

“Salamat Lord dahil lagi kang nakagabay sa akin. Sa rami kong pinagdaanan sa buhay, ikaw ang nagiging sentro ko at napakatotoo mo. Kaya maraming-maraming salamat,” Vhong expressed, acknowledging the guidance he felt from a higher power.

He extended his thanks to ABS-CBN executives, his fans, and his "It’s Showtime" family for their unwavering support and belief in him during trying times.

“Sa mga naniniwala sa akin, sa aking mga fans. Kung ano man yung narining niyong hindi maganda sa akin, eh patuloy kayong nandiyan sumusuporta at naniniwala,” Vhong acknowledged the loyalty of his fans and supporters.

Navarro also expressed appreciation for his colleagues and friends, recognizing their patience and steadfastness during the ups and downs of his journey.

“Roller coaster ang pinagdaanan ko. Ang hirap i-explain. Minsan sabaw ako, pero andyan kayo to support me dahil alam kong mahal na mahal niyo ako,” he acknowledged the challenges he faced and the support he received.

Before concluding his speech, Navarro directed a heartfelt message to his family, especially his wife Tanya Bautista, expressing his gratitude for their enduring love and support despite his imperfections.

“Marami akong pagkukulang sayo pero di mo ako iniwan. Marami akong kasalanan pero andiyan ka pa rin. Hayaan mo akong bumawi sayo sa abot ng aking makakaya hanggang sa huling sandali ng buhay ko. Mahal na mahal kita,” he emotionally concluded.

The recent court ruling found Lee, Cornejo, and two others guilty of serious illegal detention, bringing a sense of closure to a chapter that has spanned nearly a decade.
