Mark Herras Accused of Threatening Jojo Mendrez
MARK HERRAS – The actor and dancer faces a serious legal challenge after singer and businessman Jojo Mendrez filed a grave threat complaint against him. The complaint stems from an incident that occurred on March 23, 2025, when Mendrez allegedly received a threatening remark from Herras at Luxent Hotel, Quezon City.
Mendrez, accompanied by his management team and legal counsel, presented his official statement at the Kamuning Police Station on April 1, 2025. In his report, Mendrez detailed how Herras jokingly said he would burn his house if he were excluded from an event. Although Herras reportedly made the comment as a joke, Mendrez felt deeply threatened by it. He also mentioned that Herras had previously requested money from him in exchange for remaining silent about such comments.
Mendrez shared his concerns with the media, and his manager, David Bhowie, confirmed they were moving forward with the complaint at the Quezon City Hall of Justice. Jojo’s lawyer, Atty. Chiqui Advincula, emphasized that threats of any kind are unacceptable, even if made in jest. “Hindi tama ang magbabanta ka or anything to anybody or threaten anybody sa kanyang person o sa kanyang property at hindi po iyon tama at mayroon tayong laws na covered by revised penal code on this,” stated Advincula.
Mendrez expressed his disappointment with the situation, reiterating that, contrary to some public speculations, there was no romantic relationship between him and Herras. He further clarified that their collaboration for promotional purposes had concluded without any issues.
In response, Herras dismissed the accusations, asserting that he never intended to threaten anyone and would not engage in further conflict. “I’d rather give my time & energy sa pamilya o kaya sa mga work/raket,” Herras remarked, expressing his frustration over being involved in the controversy.
The situation between Mendrez and Herras has drawn significant attention, particularly after their brief collaboration. Mendrez’s management hopes the legal process will provide clarity and resolution, while Herras maintains that he has no interest in continuing the issue.
