DJ MO ON RHIAN: A Confirmation of Abortion

Its a tragic story between the two ex-lovers on how their relationship ends, Rhian Ramos and Mo Twister. It was a hot issue today on social networks and the web about the truth of what happen one year ago.


A video clip uploaded by Mo in Singapore one-day before the abortion, was airing in Youtube about what he called "memento".Mo has no knowledge on the leakage of the video and how it opened to the public. Only he knew that after the break-up there was  a lawyer that settle and on the front of Mo he surrender his laptop to get the video and will destroy on the knowledge of Rhian .This was an evidence of truth of the alleged pregnancy and abortion of Rhian a year ago. It was very confidential and personal but is now on the eyes of the public.


He stated that Rhian was a really victims of the business where she belongs. She should protect her "brand" ( carreer, her body, and the network) even though a life of innocent child pays for it. We cannot blame the people involve here, maybe they are in the situation that has many things to consider. We should be always "pro-life" and maybe their close friend and immediate family should be the first to gave a clear and have a more favorable decision that will guide them so the story might not happen.

DJ Mo wave a final statement in a local radio show, "Showbiz Rampa" of Noel Ferrer. Here are some of the cuts of his statement:


I am disappointed about the video. I'm saddened about the rumors of its upload.  Most of all, I'm ashamed at myself for the loss of our child.  It was something I never wanted to happen.  It went against my every value and until this very day, it makes me breakdown in tears—something I never have moved on from—I don't think any parent can.
 
"Of course it was done with utmost regret and I still wonder if I did all that I can to prevent it from happening. I thought I did, but I ultimately sided with the decision of my girlfriend, because I was put against a wall, to a point where I had to choose between the safety of the person that I love and the life of our child.


"As you have heard or read in the video, I do not blame Rhian for our actions even though it was no one else's choice. The pressure on her was too great. 
 
To be completely honest, I am saddened by the reaction of her mom and manager.  It has hurt me almost as much as the deed itself.  I was shocked to learn of their stance regarding a future family member of theirs. When I went to them to seek their help and comfort, all the focus was put on her career and her body image. 
 
"I was told that the baby wasn't even a baby, even though I was present during the ultra sound, heard the heartbeat of our 3 ½ month old child, saw it being formed into a young human being. I was even more shocked when she was being referred to as a 'brand' rather than as a daughter/niece. 


"I made the video as a memento of this tragic event and that it should never happen again. It was meant for me to always remind myself that we paid an enormous sacrifice for this job and this relationship. 


"Rhian knew about all of this. To a point where months ago, when they thought a lawyer was needed to aid in our breakup, that I was asked to surrender all of this 'proof' (as they called it) to them for it to be destroyed. 
 
"I naturally gave in to their request, because for the second time, I chose my girlfriend over the memory of our child. I specifically asked them to not destroy it, to please return it to me 50 years from now when all this showbiz priorities and 'branding' wouldn't mean so much anymore.  Along with my files, they took my computer and erased it in front of me.


"I am aware that GMA would like to prosecute me for this.  I would like to apologize to the network for putting them in a bad light. 


"I can only make one promise: I will never, ever agree to take the life of a child again.  It doesn't matter if it isn't my body or my choice.  I will not be put against the wall again.  I should have stood my ground, fought harder, delayed it longer, encourage more people to talk her out of it.
