Benz Sangalang revisited his mother’s murder; how it affected him as a person

On November 9, Viva artist Benz Sangalang recounted his mother’s murder when he was sixteen.

At the media conference for Bata Pa si Sabel, which LionhearTV covered, Sangalang shared personal details about his mother’s gruesome death in Bulacan. 

“Ano po ‘yun bale, naiwan po siya mag-isa doon sa bahay namin that time. Kasi kakalipat lang po ng step-father at sister ko sa province, kaya wala siya kasama, eh, nataon po na may nakaka-away siyang kapitbahay namin na parang illegal ‘yung trabaho, ‘yan mga drugs, ganyan. 

“Pero, siyempre ayaw naman naming sisihin agad sila kasi wala naman kaming ebidensiya. Ayun kinabukasan po noong huling nakasama siya, nabalitaan ko na lang na dinurog ‘yung mukha, dinurog ng baril.”

He then cited the lack of investigation from the local law enforcement regarding his mother’s case.

“Ayun sabi, bago nangyari ‘yun, tatlong pulis daw ‘yung umaaligid sa bahay namin kumbaga. May proteksyon, kaya walang nagsasalita, kaya lahat ng kapit bahay namin walang nagsalita doon sa nangyari.

“Tsaka kahit mga hepe doon ninakawan pa nga po nila ng mga alahas eh. Wala po talagang–yung cellphone niya nawala na, kumbaga wala ka na talagang makukuhang ebidensya.”

Although his family had speculated on who committed the crime, Sangalang noted that they chose to move past the traumatic incident for their family. 

“Pero, hindi na po namin nilabas sa– kasi hindi pa naman po ako nag-aartista noon nangyari, ‘yung mga SOCO, ‘yan. Hindi na po namin inano, parang pinagpasa-Diyos na lang po namin, kasi mahirap namang, ‘Siya ‘yun, gagantihan natin, ipapapatay din natin.'”

Sangalang then shared how his traumatic experienced pushed him to be independent. 

“Sa akin po siyempre naiwan na ako sa buhay after noon eh, kasi step-father ko nasa probinsya, tapos hiwalay sila ng Daddy ko. Naging malaking bagay ‘yung para ipush ko ‘to ‘yung sa showbiz kasi pangarap niya sa akin ‘to eh.”

He also attributed his venture into showbiz to his mother’s wish when she was alive. 

“Kahit siguro ‘yun nga, ‘magpa-sexy ka, okay lang ‘yun.’ Feeling ko ‘yun ‘yung pinaka-malaking ano–masanay na mag-isa sa buhay, kasi simula po noong namatay po ‘yung Mama ko, wala na po talaga akong kasama, naging independent na talaga ako. 

“Opo, totoo po ‘yun, lalo na po siguro kung, ibibigay sa akin ‘yung mga role na may kinalaman sa nanay, ‘yung mga ganyan. Or kahit saan naman po siguro, basta kailangan ko talaga na may paghuhugutan na sama ng loob, talagang wala na pong ano sa akin. Talagang lalabas agad kung ano man ‘yung hinanakit ko nailalabas ko sa eksena kahit siguro anong role ‘yun.”

Sangalang stars in the upcoming Vivamax movie Bata Pa si Sabel with Micaela Raz, Stephanie Raz, Chad Solano, Rash Flores, Angela Morena, Gardo Versoza, and Julio Diaz.

The Vivamax movie, directed by Reynold Giba, premieres via Vivamax Plus on November 28 and streams via Vivamax on December 2.
