Super Tekla can heave a sigh of relief with the sexual abuse allegations hurled against him by his erstwhile girlfriend, Michelle Lhor Bana-ag, now seemingly going nowhere.
Broadcaster Raffy Tulfo, who helped made public Bana-ag’s complaint against the comedian, has withdrawn the financial and legal support he earlier promised her.
Apparently, Bana-ag refused to undergo drug testing as Tulfo requested, leading him to believe she is using narcotics.
He now also doubts her explosive revelations against Tekla.
In a statement, Tekla thanked God and all those who supported him throughout the ordeal.
“Salamat Panginoon. Salamat DONITA, mommy Rose at mga kaibigan kung hindi ako iniwanan at handang ipagtanggol ako.
“Salamat sa lahat ng sumuporta at magtiwala, hindi ko na kayo maisa isang lahat.
“Pipilitin kung bumangon at magsimula. Nanaig na ang katutuhanan,” he said.
As to fans still throwing barbs at Bana-ag, he said, “Wag na nating husgahan at i-bash pa si Michelle at pamilya nila mas pinili ko ang forgiveness kaysa puot.”
“Natapos na ang unos at pagsubok let’s forget and forgive.”
And to those critical of him, he remarked, “Pinatawad ko na kayong lahat dahil mas ikagagaan ng kalooban ko ‘yun.
“Let’s pray at pagmamahal nalang po ang magandang tulong para maghilum ang sugat na dinulot ng pagsubok na ito. God Bless us all.”
