News anchor Arnold Clavio’s wife Charlene reacted to the shocking revelation of former Overseas Filipino Worker Sarah Balabagan.
During a Facebook live, Sarah recently divulged that Arnold is the father of her eldest child.
She also said that their relationship was known by Arnold’s wife and Charlene was supportive of her husband.
Sarah also clarified that Charlene already messaged her saying that she was already forgiven.
“Alam ko po nagkasala po ako, at saludo po ako sa kanyang maybahay, sa kanyang asawa dahil noong malaman niya ‘yung totoo, talagang sinuportahan niya si Arnold,” the ex-OFW said.
[I know I have sinned and I salute his wife because when she knew about the truth, she really supported Arnold]
“Siya pa po ‘yung nag-reach out sa akin sa Messenger at nag-message siya sa akin. Ito ang sabi niya sa message, ‘Sarah, I forgave you,’” she added, referring to Arnold’s wife.
[She reached out to me on Messenger and messaged me saying ‘Sarah, I forgave you]
The revelation of Sarah drew mixed reactions from netizens.
Some slammed Arnold Clavio for being a ‘pedophile’ and taking advantage of a rape victim while some questioned the motive for the revelation.
Has he issued any statement yet about Sarah Balabagan’s big revelation? It would be good if he provided support, and would not deny paternity. From the situation prevailing at that time, it seems Arnold Clavio took advantage of a traumatized minor. pic.twitter.com/5h97xkXIBj

Arnold Clavio, one of vocal critics of gov’t policies, now finds himself in the middle of crisis. Hypocrisy. Karma is indeed real.

I wasn't surprised that Arnold Clavio took advantage of then 17 year old Sarah. What was shocking was how he acted so righteous while criticizing PRRD when he has done something so horrible himself.

The thing to note about the Sarah B public laundry is that her secret was not really a secret. People knew and abetted a crime. Certainly, Arnold Clavio's co workers and top network's management must have known too but chose to keep silent.

Why do we need these news? What’s the purpose of these exposés? What’s the motive? Why needed to go public if it’s not to strain one’s reputation? Really, what’s the intention?

Arnold is married to Charlene and he has 3 children and also 3 grandchildren.
The Arnold-Sarah relationship happened in 1996 when Sarah returned to the Philippines, as Arnold was one of those reporters who covered the issue.
They both agreed to keep their romance private and at 31 years old, Arnold supposedly impregnated the then 17-year-old then, Sarah.
