A rising actress from the hit primetime series Batang Quiapo has caused an uproar online after breaking her silence and exposing shocking details about her experience with a fellow actor, known only as “Coomatin.”

What was expected to be a casual live stream turned into an explosive tell-all, as the actress bravely spoke up about Coomatin’s alleged behavior behind the scenes — behavior that, according to her, many would find hard to believe.

“I stayed silent for so long, thinking things would change,” she said emotionally. “But the truth has to come out.”

The actress, who has been gaining popularity for her strong performance in Batang Quiapo, did not mince words. She described Coomatin as charming on-camera but “manipulative, dismissive, and controlling” off-camera.

Viewers of the live broadcast were stunned as she went on to describe multiple incidents that left her feeling belittled, used, and emotionally drained.

“He made me feel like I was nothing,” she said, holding back tears. “Like my ideas didn’t matter, my time didn’t matter — only his ego.”

Within minutes, clips of the actress’s confession began circulating on TikTok, Twitter (X), and Facebook. Hashtags like #ExposeCoomatin, #JusticeForBatangQuiapoActress, and #RealFaceRevealed began trending nationwide.

Social media was flooded with support, shock, and speculation. Many fans of Batang Quiapo expressed disappointment, saying they had once admired the chemistry between the two stars, unaware of what was happening behind the scenes.

Industry insiders were quick to respond. Some anonymously confirmed tensions between the two actors on set, but said they had no idea how deeply it had affected her.

Others remained skeptical, urging the public to wait for Coomatin’s side of the story.

So far, Coomatin has not released an official statement. His management has refused to comment, saying only that they are “handling the matter privately.”

Meanwhile, the actress’s courage in speaking out has sparked a wider conversation about on-set abuse, toxic working environments, and the pressure young talents face in keeping silent to protect their careers.

“This isn’t about revenge,” she clarified later in her video. “This is about healing, and making sure it doesn’t happen to anyone else.”

Some netizens are calling for Coomatin’s removal from the show. Others are urging both sides to face each other and clarify things for the sake of the fans and the integrity of the program.

As of now, Batang Quiapo producers have not issued a public response, though a source revealed that “urgent meetings are ongoing.”

One thing is clear: this revelation has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, and the story is far from over.
