NAKABABAHALA ang mga isiniwalat sa Youtube ng isang BL actor at content creator na si Miko Gallardo na may titulong My final message. Isama pa rito ang mga post niya sa Instagram Stories.
Si Miko ay unang naging contestant at finalist sa Bidaman segment ng It’s Showtime noong 2019. Pagkaran ay bumida siya sa ilang BL (Boy’s Love) series kabilang ang My Day (2020) at Our Story(2023).
Sa vlog ni Mico na in-upload niya noong June 10 sa kanyang YouTube account na ochomikonagpahiwatig ito ng tila nais wakasan ang kanyang buhay.
Nagpakilala muna ang aktor sa unang bahagi ng vlog. “Hey everyone. My name is Ochomiko on social media. You might know me as Miko Gallardo as an actor, but today I will be talking to you as Dwayne and what I have been going through my whole life.
“I’m not asking for sympathy or attention. I simply just want things to end.”
Pagkaraan, inamin niyang biktima raw siya ng blackmail, grave threat, at extortion ng taong kumokontrol daw sa buhay niya.
“For the past ten years, a whole decade of my life, I have been blackmailed and extorted. And I just want it to end.
“I’m sending out this message to the person, you know who you are. I will not be dropping any names. I just want this to go and end smoothly with peace. Let me go. I want my freedom.
“I will be talking in English for everybody to understand. I will be as straightforward as possible.
“I am begging. I am not asking. I am begging for things to end. I want it to end. I want my freedom.
“Ten years of blackmail and threats and extortion. I am done. I will do whatever you want me to do for things to end. You want me to end my relationship, I will do it.
“You want me to pay you back, I will do it. You want whatever…whatever your reason is, whatever your wants are, I will give it. I will do it.
“Because I’m done and I’m tired. All I’m asking in return is my freedom and peace so I can go about my days and my life withouth having to worry anymore.
“I am tired. I’m exhausted. I want to go home. I miss my grandma. Whatever your reasons are for doing this, I’m sorry.
“But please, I beg you, please, let me go. Let me have my freedom.”
Inamin din ng aktor na walong taong gulang pa lamang siya ay biktima na ng rape at ilang beses ng sexual abuse.
“Let’s go back to the past where it all began.
“Maybe if I do go back in the past and talk about it, it will give a sense to why I am here in this situation right now.
“Maybe I can only blame myself. But when I was only eight years old, I was raped by two people I trusted as older sisters.
“I will not be dropping any names. I’ll be as straightforward as possible just to give an idea.
“I was also almost raped by older men when I was around the same age. But the only reason they didn’t go through with it was because they almost got caught.
“But I did not speak up. I was a scared little boy who never talks. But this time, I’ll say it all, I don’t care. I don’t give a f*ck. I don’t give a f*ck anymore.
“Ten years old all the way up, around 16, 17… I don’t even remember anymore. I had a sexual relationship with an older woman who was way older.
“Growing up, that really f*cked up my mind. Filled my head with anger, lust, and bad choices. And that’s the reason maybe why I’m here.
Sinabi rin ni Mico na nakaranas din daw siya ng “sexual assault” nang pumasok siya sa showbiz.
“When my career started, I got people sexually assaulting me in this industry, the acting industry.
“Yeah, Filipino PD trying to get me many, many times. But I never spoke up. They told me to shut up, take it in, and just focus on my career.
“That messed me up big time. Led me to bad decisions, bad choices, substance abuse, alcohol, you name it.
“They never got a hold of me because I always try to find a way to reason out or run away. But I was never able to fight back because if you do, you know what happens when you fight back in this industry?
“You know what happens? They bury you. I don’t want to be buried. Life is about survival.
“And right now, I am trying to survive. Those big names trying to get me.”
“All right. I’m here now though. I’m still alive. I’m still kicking. Begging for my life back. So that person who has control over me right now, you know what I’ve been through.
“You know the sh*t that I had to crawl my ass out of. So let’s make a deal. Let’s end things peacefully. Give me a chance to live again.
“But if you give me no choice and just tell me to end my life while you laugh about it or celebrate over it, you tell me I deserve it, then you leave me with no choice.
“Who gives a sh*t, right. The world keeps spinning anyways.
“But let me make a deal. I want to live. I want freedom. If you still have any humanity and sympathy left in you, let me go.
“Maybe I can’t. No. Yeah, maybe I can only blame myself for being in this situation, for trusting you.
“So only I can end it.
“Let me go ‘coz I’m tired. I’m f*ck*ing tired.”
Bago ang YT post, nakatatawag-pansin din ang Instagram Story ni Mico noong June 4, 2025. Aniya, “F*ck this life man. Time to end.
“My name is ochomiko on social media or as an actor you may know me as ‘Miko Gallardo.’
“But my real name is Dwayne and I have a few things to say before lend it all.
“These will be my last and final messages.”
