Sarah Balabagan, a former OFW who had killed her employer who tried to rape her in 1994, revealed news anchor Arnold Clavio is the father of her eldest son.
“Ang ama po ng panganay ko ay yes, si Arnold Clavio po,” Sarah said in a recent Facebook live video.
Sarah Balabagan said she revealed her 22-year-old secret after the issue surfaced again. She assured her viewers that her husband and her family agreed for her to speak up.
“Kaya ko ‘to ginagawa dahil after 22 years, lumabas na naman. Sabi nga nila, walang bahong hindi lalabas. Hindi naman po ako nalungkot dahil by God’s grace, masaya na ako sa buhay ko,” she said.
“Paano ‘pag wala na ako sa mundo? Tapos hindi ko ito kinorek? Baka mamaya maging multo pa ito sa anak ko.”
It could be recalled that the late ambassador Roy Seneres was rumored to be the father of Sarah’s first child. She, however, said that the ambassador only helped her with her pregnancy.
“Si late ambasador Roy po ang tumulong sa akin nu’ng ako ay nabuntis. Tinulungan niya ako para hindi kumalat sa public. Para hindi masira ang image ko noon at ‘yung image nu’ng taong ‘yun,” she said.

“Kinupkop ako at itinago ni ambassador pero ang nakakalungkot, e, sinasabi nilang siya raw ang ama.”
Sarah Balabagan shared that she met Arnold Clavio when the GMA broadcaster was exclusively covering her murder case in 1994.
“Nagkakilala kami ni Arnold nu’ng panahong ako ay nakapiit pa at dinalaw nila ako doon. Naging close kami noon ni ‘Kuya Arnold’… At nu’ng unuwi ako sa Pilipinas noong August 1, 1996, isa po siya sa mga nag-cover ng kaso ko. Naging exclusive lang niya ang story,” she said.
Sarah was jailed in the United Arab Emirates for stabbing her employer 34 times after he tried to rape her.
Shortly after her release, Balabagan embarked on a career as a singer, appearing on a television program with Geri Halliwell.
Meanwhile, Arnold Clavio, also called Igan, is a radio and television newscaster, journalist, and television host in the Philippines.
