House of Mentorque issues statement on Ron Angeles' involvement in viral private video
House of Mentorque has released an official statement addressing the viral circulation of an intimate video involving its talent, Ron Angeles, amid widespread discussion and speculation.
Ron Angeles, a Filipino actor under Mentorque Productions (also referred to as House of Mentorque), became embroiled in a viral intimate video scandal in early March 2026. The scandal involved alleged private videos of Angeles circulating online alongside similar content featuring three other actors—Arron Villaflor, Nikko Natividad, and Gil Cuerva—collectively dubbed the "Big Four" by netizens. The unverified explicit videos began spreading rapidly via illicit Telegram links around late February to early March 2026, with reports suggesting the clips were being sold to users and possibly part of a political smear campaign.
On March 3, 2026, Ron Angeles responded indirectly to the scandal through social media, posting an old photo of himself in swim trunks on Facebook with the caption "Sanay na akong mahusgahan" ("I'm used to being judged"), which netizens interpreted as a subtle reference to the controversy. He also shared Instagram Stories of himself driving amid supportive comments from fans encouraging him to ignore critics. At this stage, Angeles had not issued any direct personal statement about the alleged videos.
By March 20, 2026, official action was taken as Ron Angeles filed a complaint regarding the leaked intimate videos, with his label Mentorque Productions announcing they would pursue legal cases against those responsible. His management separately released an official statement addressing the viral intimate videos that had been circulating for the past couple of weeks. The legal action references Republic Act No. 9995, the Anti-Photo and Video Voyeurism Act, which prohibits the unauthorized recording and distribution of private materials.
The scandal emerged as part of a broader pattern involving multiple Filipino celebrities, with Arron Villaflor being the first to address the issue publicly on February 27, initially dismissing early clips as footage from his Vivamax projects before later clarifying that newer material was unauthorized private content. While Villaflor, Natividad, and Cuerva issued various statements addressing their involvement, Ron Angeles maintained a more reserved public response through indirect social media posts rather than direct denials or confirmations.
As of March 20, 2026, investigations into the source and distribution of the videos were ongoing, with no resolutions reported in available sources. The incident highlights ongoing concerns about digital privacy violations and the impact of viral scandals on Filipino celebrities, with netizen reactions ranging from support for the affected actors to criticism and speculation about the videos' authenticity and origins.
