Filipino singer-comedienne K Brosas has won her long-standing legal battle against a contractor who allegedly abandoned the construction of her home despite receiving full payment.
The court ruling, issued on February 13, 2025, marked the end of a case that K filed in September 2021, after experiencing significant financial and emotional distress due to the contractor’s alleged failure to deliver the agreed-upon project.
Taking to Instagram, Brosas expressed relief and gratitude following the court’s decision, calling it a “great Valentine’s gift” and a win for others who have experienced similar injustices.
“Convicted (but not yet final), finally. Ilang taong paghihintay at pagpapasensya na may halong stress at anxiety, pero mabait ang Panginoon. Nanaig ang katotohanan.”
“Hindi ako matatakot at mapapagod ipaglaban kung ano ang tama. Today, justice prevailed. Thank you, Lord! Salamat Sales and Valderrama Law Office, lalo na kay Atty. Charlotte!”
“Sa lahat ng mga nagdasal (kasama na rin ang mga hindi naniwala), mahal na mahal ko kayo. This is one great Valentine’s gift! Panalo ito ng lahat ng mga naloko! Lablab!”

Brosas first made headlines in September 2021 when she revealed on social media that she had encountered issues with her Php 7-million home construction. She alleged that despite paying in full, the contractor failed to complete the house and ultimately abandoned the project.
“Nakakalungkot lang na kahit malaking pera na ang nabigay ko at kung tutuusin tapos ko na ang pagbabayad sa buong halaga, mahigit kumulang 7 milyon… Inabandona pa ng pinagkatiwalaan ko ang nasabing bahay.”
The incident took a significant toll on her mental health, with the comedienne admitting to experiencing anxiety attacks and stress as she struggled with the unfinished home.
“Ilang beses akong nakiusap, umiyak at humingi ng tulong, pero wala pa ding nangyari. Masaya ako lagi sa trabaho ko pero lingid sa kaalaman ng iba, pag hindi naka-harap sa camera, grabe ang bigat at depression ko dahil sa pangarap kong bahay na para din sa anak ko.”
Unable to resolve the dispute privately, Brosas decided to take legal action against the contractor, filing an official complaint with the help of her legal team.
“Napilitan akong maghain ng demanda sa tulong ng mga abogado ko at testigo ko. Naniniwala pa rin ako sa justice system natin. I hope justice will be served at the end of the day.”
Following the announcement of her legal victory, many fellow celebrities, including Pokwang and Kakai Bautista, expressed their support for Brosas, praising her determination to fight for justice.
Meanwhile, netizens also reacted strongly to the news, with many pointing out the widespread issue of fraudulent contractors in the country.
Although the court convicted the contractor, Brosas clarified that the ruling is “not yet final,” implying that the legal process may still continue should an appeal be filed.
Despite the challenges she faced, Brosas was able to complete her home through the help of a different contractor.
