After almost five years since revealing her ties with Arnold Clavio, Sarah Balabagan-Sereno addressed her former boyfriend again because of the criticism made by the Kapuso journalist against former President Rodrigo Duterte.
In a Facebook post, Sarah reminded Arnold about the power of prayers, saying that she was also saved by it.
It could be traced back to when she faced capital punishment in the United Arab Emirates from 1994 to 1997 for defending herself from the attempt of her employer to take advantage of her.
It can be recalled that due to the collective efforts of the Filipinos and the government, Sarah’s capital punishment was lowered to 1-year imprisonment and 100 cane strokes.
Sarah also openly accused Arnold of grooming and taking advantage of her.
“Arnold Huwag mong maliitin Ang power ng UNITY PRAYERS! “the prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective” is James 5:16. Ako mismo ay bunga ng unity prayers ng mga Filipino. Pero pinagsamantalahan mo lang at inuto!” she said.
Her statement was her response to Arnold’s post, questioning the prayer rallies organized by some groups for a man who doesn’t believe in God.
In 2020, Sarah revealed that Arnold impregnated her when they had a secret relationship.
Arnold was the one who was covering the story of Sarah at that time, which resulted to them to become close.
“Ang ama po ng panangay ko ay, yes, si Arnold Clavio po. Siya po ang ama ng panganay ko. Sa lahat po ng nakakakilala kay Arnold Clavio personally, alam niyo po kung gaano po siya kakengkoy—hindi lamang po yung mukha niya, pati yung talagang sense of humor niya,” she said.
“Kahit umiiyak ako, nalulungkot ako, napapatawa niya ako. Just imagine na galing ako sa kulungan kung gaano ako ka-vulnerable noon. Pero hindi ko po idya-justify kung anong nagawa ko po,” she added.
