In a startling revelation that has sent ripples through the entertainment world, veteran actress Glydel Mercado has shared a deeply unsettling claim: that her life is in grave danger after allegedly being cursed by someone in her own family.
A Hidden Struggle Comes to Light
Glydel appeared in a revealing, emotionally charged interview, breaking her long silence about a series of alarming incidents she says began quietly — health issues, strange sensations, and unexplainable occurrences that left her baffled. Though medical tests showed no clear cause, her symptoms worsened: insomnia, fatigue, anxiety, and lingering pain.
“I didn’t want to believe it,” Glydel said. “But the things I experienced were beyond logic.”
She said that, after exhausting conventional medical options, she turned to traditional healing. There, her worst suspicions were confirmed: a trusted albularyo (folk healer) told her she had been intentionally cursed, by someone who shared her blood.
A Curse from Within
Glydel revealed to the interviewer:
“It’s someone I loved, someone I trusted… a family member.”
She held back the name, but hinted that jealousy, inheritance disputes, and an obsessive belief in preserving a special “bloodline” trait were at the heart of the alleged curse. The healer reportedly explained that the motive wasn’t ordinary malice, but the belief that Glydel carried a rare gift—or legacy—that the other person felt entitled to.
“They believed I had something unique in my lineage, and when I didn’t deliver, they resorted to dark means.”
Faith, Culture & Skepticism
To some, the idea of kulam (witchcraft) and spiritual attacks is old superstition. But in many parts of the Philippines, such beliefs are still deeply embedded in daily life. Glydel herself acknowledged the risks of speaking out.
“People will call me crazy. But I know my truth. I need to protect myself.”
She said she came forward not to shame anyone, but to encourage others who might be suffering in silence.
“This is not just about me. What if someone else is hurt this way and feels alone?”
Celebrities and fans have offered support. Actress Snooky Serna publicly affirmed Glydel’s account, saying these spiritual struggles are rarely discussed openly. Others posted prayers and encouragement using tags like #ProtectGlydel and #SpiritualWarfareIsReal.
Healing, Not Revenge
Glydel shared that she’s undergoing spiritual healing, combining rituals, prayer, and lifestyle changes. She also sought therapy to address emotional trauma from betrayal.
“It’s not a quick fix. But I feel lighter. I feel protected.”
When asked whether she might press legal charges, she declined.
“No. There’s no law for spiritual assault. I don’t want revenge. I want peace.”
She confirmed she has completely cut ties with the suspected family member.
“Forgiveness doesn’t mean welcoming them back into my life,” she said.
A New Chapter in Her Career
Despite the storm, Glydel is preparing for a comeback. She’s reportedly taken a new role in a teleserye and is developing a documentary about spiritual practices—one that aims to educate rather than sensationalize.
“This journey has opened my eyes. Maybe I’m meant to help others see what’s beyond what the eye can see.”
A Message Beyond the Headlines
Glydel Mercado’s revelations have opened a door many have kept closed. Whether believers or skeptics, her willingness to speak out challenges taboos and gives a voice to whispers.
In her own words:
“This isn’t about ghosts or magic alone. It’s about facing the uncomfortable truth: sometimes, danger comes from within. But with faith, clarity, and strength—you can rise above it.”
Her story may be controversial, but it is also a call: guard your peace, protect your mind, and remember that pain often hides behind trust.
