Gelli de Belen admits hiring private investigat­or to prove John Estrada was ‘red flag’ for sister Janice

- (Jessica Ann Evangelist­a Philippine Daily Inquirer)

GELLI de Belen recalled how she proved that John Estrada was a “red flag” for her sister Janice de Belen by hiring a private investigat­or.

Sitting down with Karen Davila, the de Belen sisters got candid, reminiscin­g about the past relationsh­ips of Janice. Gelli stressed that recounting these stories was not meant to vilify Estrada.

“Ayoko naman siraan si John. Tapos na ‘yan. We’re okay na. But ito ‘yung pinagdaana­n namin,” she said.

Gelli said that in the other past relationsh­ips of Janice, she was too young to know what was going on and was not mature enough to realize that there was something wrong.

“Actually isa lang naman talaga ‘yung nakitaan ko ng

red flag kasi wala pa ako sa wisyo nung ibang boyfriends niya. I was very young. And I was just like, ‘Oh my God, si

Gabby Concepcion nasa bahay namin,’ ‘ Ay si Aga Muhlach tatay ng pamangkin ko,’ ganon pa’ko,” she said.

“Nung naging si John meron na akong wisyo and syempre

it’s a small industry, I could hear things. I would find out… and I would tell her, ‘Look, this is what’s going on’ baka gusto mo pagtuunan ng pansin,’” added Gelli.

She said that Janice was hesitant to believe the real situation, so she had to hire a private investigat­or to give her older sister the proof she was asking for.

“One of the last times I told her very definitive sabi niya, ‘ I want proof.’ Proof ba kamo? Naghanap talaga ako ng proof. I was very aggressive with this. Sige na nga aaminin ko na nga.

Umabot ako sa punto na nagpa- private investigat­or ako,” she revealed.

Gelli said she did this out of her love for her sister.

“For me, if I would have gone through the same thing, sino pa ba ang dadamay sa’kin kung hindi kapatid ko? I have a lot of friends but at the end of the day your family would really look out for you, who would go the extra mile for you,” she affirmed.
