Vilma Santos Files Case Against Jessie Mendiola: A Strong Allegation Revealed

“I’m shocked. That’s the queen. I mean, the way she speaks—how she carries her life.”

A hot and controversial news report now spreading in the world of showbiz has stunned the public. It has been confirmed by a reliable source that the Star for All Seasons, Vilma Santos-Recto, has filed a case against her former daughter-in-law, Jessie Mendiola.

This move came as a surprise to many, especially since Vilma is known as a private and calm figure when it comes to family matters. But now that she has faced the media and the legal system herself, it’s clear her emotions have reached the breaking point—driven by deep disappointment, anger, and a mother’s protective love for her son, Luis Manzano.

According to reports, rumors of misunderstandings between Luis Manzano and Jessie Mendiola had long been circulating behind the scenes. But the situation reportedly worsened when the couple officially separated. Despite attempts to keep the issue private, gossip about Luis allegedly cheating on Jessie began to spread.

Many initially believed Luis was at fault, especially when some statements seemed to side with Jessie. But now, in a surprising revelation, Vilma Santos claimed it was not Luis who was in the wrong, but Jessie herself. According to her, Jessie had returned all of Luis’s gifts—from expensive items to personal mementos—as if signaling a complete break in their relationship.

But Vilma says there’s a deeper reason behind it: the truth allegedly came out that Jessie was the first to be unfaithful in their marriage—something that deeply pained Vilma, especially after witnessing how much Luis loved his wife and how much he sacrificed for their relationship.

Vilma could not accept that despite all of her son’s goodness, he was made to look like the villain in the public’s eye. She said from the very beginning, Luis tried his best to be a good husband, father, and son. He was a responsible man who thought of nothing but the well-being of his family.

Even in past issues involving Angel Locsin and other former relationships, Luis was never violent or abusive. So when Vilma found out the real reason behind Luis and Jessie’s breakup—the alleged betrayal by the actress—she could no longer contain the emotions she had been suppressing.

Now, the Manzano family is facing a major issue following Vilma’s brave and determined move. According to reports, Vilma has decided to fight for her son’s rights by taking legal action against Jessie Mendiola. She is no longer willing to let everything that happened slide, claiming this was a clear act of disrespect not just toward Luis but their entire family.

After thorough discussions with her legal team and attorney, Vilma personally went to the police station to formally file her complaint against Jessie Mendiola. While the full details of the complaint have not been disclosed, Vilma made it clear she is serious about seeking justice for Luis.

She also said that she would not engage in a war of words with the media—instead, she would let the legal process take its course. In a bold statement, Vilma said: “We’ll see each other in court.”

Her words reflected her firm decision to pursue this matter through the proper legal channels. She chose to stay silent in public and avoid any media confrontations to keep the situation from escalating further. However, she stressed that she would not stop until justice is served for her son.

Another bombshell from Vilma is the possibility that Jessie Mendiola could be imprisoned if the allegations filed in court are proven true. Though this would be painful, especially since Jessie is the mother of her grandchild, Vilma said she could not ignore what Luis is going through.

As a mother, her child’s welfare will always come first over any emotional connection to Jessie. Vilma admitted that she deeply loves her grandchild and fulfills her role as a responsible grandmother.

But despite that, she could not bear to watch her son suffer—especially if the source of his pain is someone who was once a part of their family and whom they trusted. At this point, Vilma’s anger, disappointment, and intense love for her son Luis have taken over.

According to her, this fight is not just for her son but also for the dignity of their entire family. Vilma Santos is sending a strong message to the public—that despite being seen as quiet and gentle, she is ready to stand and fight when it comes to her family.

We will continue to monitor the next chapters in this controversy, as everyone awaits Jessie Mendiola’s response to the accusations hurled at her.

Meanwhile, many netizens continue to show support for Vilma and Luis, while others are calling for a fair and just investigation to uncover the whole truth behind this controversy.

The public remains divided in opinion—some support Vilma and Luis, while others remain on Jessie’s side. But one thing is clear: this issue will only deepen now that the veteran actress has taken legal action.

As the case progresses, many are wondering what other evidence Vilma holds against Jessie and how the actress will defend herself. So far, Luis Manzano remains silent on the matter and has not issued any public statement.

It is possible that he has chosen not to speak for now, allowing his mother to fight for his rights.

Despite the emotional battle, Vilma Santos stands firm in her position. She said she will not back down and will make sure that whoever hurt her son will be held accountable under the law.

She has only one goal—to seek justice and show the world that her son was never the bad guy.

Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story, because there is surely more to be uncovered behind the complicated relationship between Luis Manzano and Jessie Mendiola.
