Xander Ford files raps vs. two who uploaded vids when he was Marlou Arizala

Internet personality Xander Ford filed a complaint with the PNP Anti-Cybercrime Group on Monday afternoon against two people who allegedly uploaded videos which caused him to be bullied by netizens.

“Pumunta ako dito para magpatulong sa kinauukulan para matigil ‘yung pambubully ng mga tao sa mga kagaya ko," said Ford, who previously went by the  name Marlou Arizala.

"Sana po matapos na ‘yung mga paninira, ‘yung mga ginagawang mali sa akin,” he added.

In the videos, Arizala can be heard and seen bashing Kathryn Bernardo. The young actress’ fans and other netizens in turn bashed and criticized Marlou.

He said the videos were taken and uploaded when he was still Arizala and were recently revived after he underwent cosmetic surgery to emerge as Xander.

“Matagal na po mga two months na po (‘yung video), masakit lang sa akin dahil kung kelan ganito na ako tsaka nila nilabas yung ganung video tapos Marlou pa po ‘yung mukha ko doon,” Ford said.

“‘Yung Marlou na wala pang raket, walang alam kundi gumawa ng video, magpasikat unlike ngayon na OK na ako nakakatulong na ako sa parents ko. Kumbaga hinihila nila ako pababa,” he added.

He said the criticisms he received because of the videos caused him to lose endorsements and shows.

“Maraming TV shows, maraming events sa province, out of the country din wala din napostpone na po. Kasi sinasabi nila na dahil mayabang ako, ayaw nila ng mayabang, ayaw nila ng mapanlait na tao, pero hindi nila alam na yung kwento na ‘yun ay dati pa po,” Ford said.

He said the development made him depressed.

“Na-depress ako dahil sa mga issue dahil sa video na in-upload nila. Mahirap, nawalan ako ng trabaho, nawalan ako ng career dahil sa mga paratang nila sa akin. Gusto ko na pong matapos ito,” he said.

Senior Police Officer 3 Marlon Flores, officer on case, said the PNP would investigate the matter to determine what case will be filed if any.

“Sa ngayon for investigation pa kami. Ang gagawin namin regarding sa social media account ng pinaghihinalaan niya, we will scrutinize, we will extract all the possible evidence to that specific social media account,” Flores told reporters.

David Cabauatan, Ford’s manager, said after the videos re-emerged, they received grave threats from the supporters of the young actress.

“Hindi namin pwedeng balewalain dahil talagang ang mga banta ay life threatening. So even the family of Xander na nanahimik sa Cavite iyak nang iyak kaya very serious yung nangyari ngayon na gusto namin na maging example sa mga nabu-bully online na hindi po biro yung mambully at yung effect niya sa mga kabataang tulad ni Xander na gusto lang tulungan yung family,” he said.

“Very malicious ‘yung pag upload, very timely na in-upload during the time na Xander na siya pero n’ung nangyari ang video e Marlou Arizala pa siya. Kitang kita ‘yung intensyon na siraan si Xander. — NB/RSJ, GMA News
