As per BJ Pascual, the incident happened to Tzan is something you’d see in a Netflix crime drama, while Ivan Dorschner can’t wait for Tzan to heal soon and regain the courage she used to have.

As an aspiring fashion model I study a lot about what this industry could do. This industry requires a good personality to have a good partnership and I think Sam Morales has nothing. She should be penalize on what she did. @JzanVern We are fighting with you.

after i read all the thread.
YES FASHION INDUSTRY DOESN'T DESERVE SAM MORALES!! https://t.co/l1rXfkJZYc— Viejay Villamera (@ViejayVillamera) March 30, 2020
When Tzan bravely shared what happened to her, other victims of Sam came out to tell their own stories.
The Story
Tzan is a transwoman residing in Cebu and currently an interior design student. She was the 12th victim of Sam Morales. Tzan and Sam who pretended to be a guy named Bill met on Tinder and started to exchange texts until they engaged in a long-distance relationship. Bill promised to meet Tzan in Cebu and sell his condo unit in Manila so he could move there,
It was much much later when Tzan learned that it was Sam who was manipulating the whole “relationship” from the beginning. Sam excused her actions by saying she was only seeking revenge for being bullied by gay people when she was much younger.
