Sa tulong ng mga tauhan ng National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), nalaman ni Nico Locco ang pangalan ng babaeng pinaghihinalaang palihim na kinunan ng video ang kanilang pagtatalik na kumalat at pinaniniwalaang pinagkakitaan.
Natukoy rin ni Nico ang kinaroroonan ng babae.
Ibinahagi ni Nico ang mga impormasyong ito sa media conference ng Scandal Queen na naganap sa Viva Café, Cubao, Quezon City, nitong Lunes ng hapon, Mayo 18, 2026.
Lahad niya: “Pumunta ako sa NBI. We found out the girl’s real name. We located her.
"We found her name, we found where she is. She is not in Manila, she’s outside of Manila. She’s in hiding yata.
“We know where she is pero walang action after that, and the reason is if mag-a-action kami, there needs to be more than me behind the action.
“The other victims should be involved as well kasi hindi masyadong malakas yung case if it’s just me.
"May sindikato behind the girl and we don’t know who the sindikato is.
“All the girls are accessory to the crime, pero yung sindikato is the main reason."
Sabi pa ni Nico, "More and more scandals are going to be released. Abangan ninyo, meron pa, I’m sure."

NICO LOCCO TO TAKE LEGAL ACTION
Hindi raw isinasantabi ni Nico ang posibilidad na pagsasampa ng kaso laban sa babaeng nambiktima sa kanya.
Saad niya: “I can still file a case and I’m still contemplating whether I should. Meron akong lawyer, ready and willing to file kung gusto ko.
“Pero as an artist, I would like to focus on my career first. If the time does come and it gets worse and worse, with these videos, maybe I will file a case.”
May nararamdaman ba siyang galit?
Sagot ni Nico: “Hindi ako galit. It actually helped me realize na everybody has their reasons on why they do things.
“Hindi ako galit, but I am disappointed kasi she betrayed my trust.
“I always want to be emphatic for people, and everything happens for a reason.
"I didn’t want this to happen, pero it happened. Here we are and life goes on.”
Ano ang aral na natutunan niya mula sa kanyang karanasan?
“Don’t trust people so easily,” ani Nico.
“Be more careful, lalo na nasa showbiz ako.
"People have ulterior motives and I was really blind before na someone wouldn’t do that. They wouldn’t have the nerve to do that.
“As an artist, be careful. Be more careful. Kailangan vigilant ka sa iba’t ibang mga tao."
Nakapagpatawad na ba siya?
Ayon kay Nico: “Ayokong sabihin na victim siya, that’s a wrong term.
"As I’ve said, empath ako, so gets ko yung reason kung bakit niya ginawa. But it doesn’t make her victim kasi she’s part of the problem.
“Yung ginawa niya, hindi tama. You can make money doing other things.
“She broke the law. Kahit anong reason nila, I cannot have sympathy for someone that breaks the law.”

LIFE AFTER THE SCANDAL
Ang pagkakaroon ng sunud-sunod na mga proyekto ang napansin ni Nico matapos niyang masangkot sa video-scandal controversy.
Pero may paglilinaw siya tungkol sa magagandang nangyayari ngayon sa kanya.
Aniya: “It’s been a lot better. Ayokong sabihin na because of the scandal, marami akong blessings.
"Because I know people are gonna say na, ‘Ay, masaya siya na may scandal.’
“I am not happy na may scandal ako.
"If it was my choice, I wouldn’t have wanted someone to release a private video of me having an intimate moment with somebody, kung choice ko. Pero nangyari siya.
“I mean, we try to find a blessing in everything, the silver lining.
"Tuluy-tuloy ang projects ko since the scandal so I am thankful and grateful, pero I wouldn’t prefer that the video was released.”

SCANDAL QUEEN
Inamin ni Nico na halaw mula sa kanyang tunay na karanasan ang kuwento ng VMX movie na Scandal Queen.
“It’s actually a true-to-life story," sabi ni Nico.
"The movie is highly based on that controversy. It’s very similar.
"I wouldn’t say it’s exactly the same, pero siyempre may similarities and the character that I play is pretty much myself.
“It was a very difficult process for me. Me and Director Topel Lee had a lot of conversation on the phone, as well on set, about what do to.
"Kasi it’s a movie so hindi naman totoo lahat sa movie. Pero I am playing myself so I am representing myself as Nico Locco in the movie.
“Everything I say and everything I do in the movie, I am portraying myself.
"And not only myself but the other ten artists that were involved in the scandal.
“So siyempre, gusto ko ng maayos na representation and not just myself.
“It was a challenge, I went through all of the experiences that led up to the scandal, so I had to relive it.
“Mahirap nga kasi all of those… the feelings of kaba and panic came back to me when we were shooting the film.”
