Aljur Abrenica denies pulling complaint against GMA
The actor’s lawyer says they have not withdrawn the complaint, as reported by showbiz columns

MANILA, Philippines – The camp of actor Aljur Abrenica has denied reports that they have withdrawn their complaint against GMA 7. 

According to a report from Pep, Abrenica’s lawyer Ferdinand Topacio said in a statement that they have not pulled the case out. However, they are open to talks with the network.

Nais po lamang naming linawin ang ilang mga lumalabas na pahayag sa iba’t ibang mga kolum na tila baga lumalabas na nagsisisi na diumano ang aking kliyente na si G. Aljur Abrenica sa kanyang inihaing demanda laban sa GMA 7 hinggil sa kanyang kontrata, at kusang-loob na niyang iuurong ang mga ito

(We would just like to clarify some reports and opinion columns that imply that our client, Mr. Aljur Abrenica, is regretting his case against GMA7 regarding his contract, and that he has supposedly withdrawn it.) 

Bagamat totoo namang lagi kaming bukas sa makabuluhang pakikipag-usap sa pamunuhan ng GMA 7 – bagay na amin nang sinabi mula’t sapul pa noong araw na dumulog kami sa hukuman – hindi totoong pinagsisisihan na ni Aljur ang ginawa niya,” part of the statement said.

(While it’s true that we have always been open to substantial discussions with  GMA7 management – something that we have said since we brought our case to court – it is not true that Aljur regrets his decision.)

Topacio also hit GMA Artist Center, who handles the actor’s career, saying some people just wanted to save themselves from the embarrassment. 

GMA has yet to comment on the issue.

Last July, the actor filed a petition at the Quezon City Hall of Justice to terminate his contract with GMA.  He said that it was a difficult decision for him to do this.

Kaya po ako nandito ngayon… Sa totoo nga lang po, e, ayoko nga po sanang umabot sa ganito. Ako po yung huling tao na magdedesisyon na malagay sa ganitong kalagayan,” Aljur said.

(That’s why I am here today…The truth is I did not want it reach to this point. I am the last person who would decide to be in this type of situation.)

Aljur also said that he felt he was not given the importance and respect he needed when it came to his career.

In a statement, GMA 7 said at the time that Aljur’s decision was “unfortunate.– Rappler.com
