Maricel Soriano Accused of Beating Up House Maids

Two housemaids of actress Maricel Soriano accused the veteran actress of allegedly beating them when they guested live in Mon Tulfo’s Isumbong Mo Kay Tulfo program on 990 AM Thursday.

The two maids of Maricel Soriano said the incident happened Wednesday this week at her residence at Rizal Tower in Rockwell, Makati.

The two maids, identified as May Cachuela, 22 and Camille Acojedo, 18, said the actress became furious when she did not like how they prepared her clothes for showbiz affair. Maricel Soriano allegedly shouted invectives at them and kicked Cachuela on the leg. The actress’ son allegedly saw what his mother was doing and asked her to stop hurting the help.

Aside from accusing Soriano of hurting them, the two maids revealed that they saw the actress use illegal drugs while they were in her employ. According to the two, this may have been the cause of her sometimes irrational behavior.

Isumbong Mo Kay Tulfo tried to get Maricel Soriano’s side on the accusation but she could not be contacted for comment. Meanwhile, the two maids are determined to pursue charges against Maricel Soriano for what she allegedly did to them

Cachuela said Soriano, who is known in the industry as the “Diamond Star”, became furious and kicked her on the leg when the actress apparently did not like the arrangement of her clothes which she would be using in a showbiz engagement.

Cachuela added that Soriano’s son Sebastian saw the incident and asked his mother not to hurt her.

Acojedo also claimed that she had seen Soriano allegedly using illegal drugs, resulting in the Diamond Star’s odd behavior at times and prompting their celebrity employer to throw cuss words at them.

990AM tried to get in touch with Soriano to air her side about the allegations of the two, who had been with the Soriano household for only two weeks, but was not picking up her phone.

Meanwhile, Soriano’s personal assistant Inday Castillo said in a phone interview that Cachuela and Acojedo’s allegations were not true and that they were only making up stories.

“I wasn’t aware of Maricel’s problem concerning her househelps. I’m now trying to find out,” Malou Choa-Fagar, Soriano’s business manager, told Inquirer Entertainment.

990AM has learned that there was a previous complaint against Soriano in Barangay (village) Poblacion, Makati City for allegedly failing to give three months’ worth of salary of another housemaid.
Cachuela and Acojedo are decided on pressing charges against the award-winning actress.
