As the case continues to progress in court, the situation becomes even more complicated .  After news broke that Joey de Leon was also allegedly involved in what happened to Atasha.  Reports surfaced that Joey de Leon allegedly blocked Atasha’s contract. Reasons why it will no longer be renewed and will be completely removed from the program.
According to some people close to the production, it seems like there was a conspiracy to prevent Atasha from returning to the show.  so he was forced to approach the authorities to file his complaint. On the other hand, some of the colleagues in the eight blind could not help but worry about the future of their program.
This issue has a significant impact not only on the reputation of those involved but also on the program’s image in the public eye.  There are also rumors floating around that ET Bulaga may face suspension or worse punishment from regulatory boards.  if the allegations against its hosts are proven.

I feel sorry for you, Atasha, I don’t know where you get those stories.  I have nothing against you. You know that.  Don’t involve me in your slander anymore. This is embarrassing not only for me but for my family.  I never wanted us to end up in this situation. You are so kind.  I’m begging you. I can’t ruin my name and my family’s reputation just because of something I didn’t do.

Meanwhile, Atasha was not swayed by Vick’s plea.  On the actress’s side, she is firm in her commitment to fight for her rights and dignity as a woman and worker in the showbiz industry. According to Atasha, even though Vick Soto is influential and well-known, this is no reason for him to remain silent about what he has suffered.
He insisted that he is not afraid of whatever power the Geigi host holds and that he is ready to fight for the truth. He said, no matter what they do, I won’t stop. I am not afraid. I know the truth and that’s what I will fight for .  Just because Cat and these people have a name doesn’t mean they can do whatever they want.  I will not give up.
I’ve been silent for many years, but now it’s time to speak up.  If there’s anything to be ashamed of, it’s what they did to me.  It is not my stance to seek justice. The issues facing Batikang I host Vick Soto are getting deeper and deeper.  Especially with the release of strong statements from the parents of actress Atasha Mula.
Atasha’s parents openly expressed their extreme disappointment, anger, and concern over the events that occurred. According to them, they will not let anyone get away with the crime committed against their son.  They said they are determined to fight for Atasha’s rights and will ensure that anyone responsible for the alleged abuse and harassment of their child is held accountable by the law.
For them, this is not just a simple dispute or showbiz intrigue.  This is a matter of morality, dignity and justice.   They said their determination to fight for their son grew even stronger after they heard Vick Soto’s emotional public statement.  But according to them, they will not simply believe in tears that seem to be just part of a script aimed at manipulating the public’s emotions .
They maintain that such a statement is a desperate attempt to clear Vick’s name in the public eye.  An attempt that for them did not work because they held the truth and sufficient evidence to prove their allegations. Additionally, Atasha’s parents emphasized that they will not be affected by anyone’s drama and emotional appeal because they value their daughter’s rights and seeking justice for the harm she has caused.
not only emotionally but also in the professional aspect of his life. For them, their son’s silence for a long time is proof of restraint and respect for his coworkers.  But now that the truth has come out, it is time to hold those responsible accountable. As the investigation into this case continues, it is inevitable that it will tarnish a negative image for IT Bulaga, which is considered the longest-running show in Philippine television history .
Despite having long provided comfort to millions of Filipinos inside and outside the country. Now it is undergoing a severe test that could bring down not only the ratings but also the credibility of the entire program. Even some current hosts can no longer hide their fears because there are rumors that some big sponsors are planning to pull out of support.
This move by sponsors could have a serious impact on the operation of the program, especially as it also affects add placements for the continuation of their production. On social media, public opinion is divided .  There are those who stand by their belief in Vick Soto as a sensible person and respected personality in the industry.
According to them, it’s hard to believe that Vick could do this, especially since he allegedly has no record of this kind of issue in his long career as an artist.  But on the other hand, there are also a growing number of those who say that  Atasha’s side should also be heard and taken seriously. They said that a woman would not dare to file a lawsuit against a famous and powerful person without sufficient reason.
For them, this is not just an issue of popularity but a serious matter of accountability and justice.  Currently, it still remains a mystery to many where this case will go.  Many people are asking.  Will everything be clear in court?  Will the whole truth come out  or will the real incident remain a mystery to the public ?  There are also those who say that this might just end up as an internal agreement so that those involved are not embarrassed.
But more people are hoping to let the legal process move forward first .
