First Uploader of Alleged Andrea Brillantes Video Scandal May Be Hard to Find

The alleged video scandal of young actress Andrea Brillantes may be real, but whether she is the one on the video remains to be proven.

According to video and photography expert, and software engineer Mr. Celso Cabrera, one of the two videos is raw and there is a big possibility that the video is genuine and unedited.

Although fans, supporters, and authorities advise people of possible legal problems, other people are still re-uploading the videos online.

Mr. Cabrera noted that it is now very difficult to trace who was the original uploaded because the videos were already uploaded to several video sites.

“Mahirap na kasi gawa nang dami nang nag-upload. Kung dinelete na ng original uploader yong video, mejo mahirapan na ang authorities’ mag trace”, Cabrera said.

Cabrera added that since the cellphone of the actress was allegedly stolen, the best way to do first is to recover the cellphone, or at least find the people who stole the cellphone.

The Internet went on fire early Friday when news broke about the alleged video scandal.

Whether original or not, anyone who is caught uploading the video will face criminal charges.
