In his Facebook page, Fortun reacted to various comments about the footage, which is now in the hands of the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI):
“Maybe it's just me, but it looks like the girl didn't even want to be kissed. Others will think otherwise. What matters is, again, what I PERSONALLY KNOW," said Fortun, a spokesman of Lee.
"I have met with DC (Deniece Cornejo) and CL (Cedric Lee) in a meeting and over dinner. Di ko nakita nor naramdaman na close sila. For me, this is another non-issue because it does not prove or disprove the parties' version of events that night,” he added.
"I will NOT say that the CCTV lies. We all saw what we saw. And yes, I'm glad that you noticed that the big group was so relaxed when they went inside the elevator. So... Doesn't look like this group was heading for a fight, tama ba?” Fortun said, in a reply to another comment on his page.
He said he is objecting to the word “passionately” to describe the kisses Lee gave to a smiling Cornejo, after the mauling incident of actor Vhong Navarro on January 22.
“I would object to the use of the word ‘passionately’ then I would pull out the definition from the dictionary. Then I would pull my wife and kiss her in a passionate manner to prove my point. I expect to be sustained by the judge,” he said.
Fortun also believes that the CCTV footage will not affect the case.
“First public statement of CL that they are just friends? As I said, it seemed that the girl didn't even want to be kissed. CL didn't even embrace her, nor did she embrace back. So... the kisses on the cheeks aside, it (won't) affect the case,” he said.
Isa ka pa smurf! Shut ur mouth!
ReplyDeleteSo atty fortun... Na rape ulit si Deniece? Sa elevator nmn this time? Like Nya man libre ng romansa
Deletei'm pretty sure this ugly lawyer has bedn paid high enough to save his client. isn't that his job as a lawyer? reminds me too
Deletemuch of the movie devil's advocate. i'm pretty sure that
the mandate now is to save cedric, regardless if maipit
si deniece. isa lang din siyang bayaran na pag gipit na ang nagbabayad, lumalabas na ang tunay na kulay. hoy ugly lawyer,
nakakatulog ka pa ba sa mga pinaggagagawa mo? para saan, sa pera? di mo dadalhin sa hukay yan.
sa kanya na nanggaling, cctv footages don't lie. ayan na, napaamin ka tuloy ng di sinasadya. di naman talaga sinungaling cctv, si cedric at deniece lang naman ang mga sinungaling. ay clients mo nga pala sila no? hmmm. #alamna
DeleteMr. Atty, talked to ur freakin hand ba*stard. Para sau wala lang yan? Not even close in an inch? Ang babae, hinalikan sa gilid ng tenga without any reason? Lol. If they are strangers or even close friends, for sure the guy wont do that. Simple embrace will do SIR.
DeleteKahit na sinong demonyong este disenteng lalaki alam naman siguro na ang pinakamabisang paraan para mahismasmasan ang babaeng bagong gahasa ay pupugin ito ng halik. In behalf of "kawawa naman yung bata" Deniece, salamat, Kuya Cedric!
DeleteO nga naman. Imbes na kamuhian dapat palakpakan natin sila.
DeleteHaha smurf. Anyway, paano kaya nasisikmura ni atty ang trabaho nya?
Deleteang nagagawa ng anaman ng pera...
Deletesmurf nga! lol
DeleteMe sariling mga mundo din ang mga abugado pala! Lalo na pag ang kliyente e outright guilty na......
DeleteObviously, nashokot si atty. Hindi lang pera pera yan, bet ko may shokotang naganap kaya pikit matang kumukuda for.his clients ang atty na itey.
DeleteObviously, nashokot si atty. Hindi lang pera pera yan, bet ko may shokotang naganap kaya pikit matang kumukuda for.his clients ang atty na itey.
Deletesyempre, he's their lawyer, and he's under their payroll, so he'll say anything to put his clients in a good light, no matter if they're lying scumbags. sus, attorney, please lang noh--shut the f**k up na.
ReplyDeletesabi ni atty fortun. parang ayaw daw magpahalik ni deniece kay CL so ibig sbhin sapilitang halik un na ayon sa isa nilang abogado pag umayaw ang babae kht asawa mo pato ibig sbhin rape din ang tawag don... so Cl rapist krin pla
DeleteLOL, ang fake talaga ng hitad na ito. Those "results", na online pa mandin, madaling i-fake yan, kagaya ng fake personality niya.
ReplyDeleteAnd fake face... Literally!
DeleteWhatever. Sawsawero. Parakangg nasa tv5 yung palabas na may nagaaway. Anyway ang lola nyo sa may harap. Salamin lang ang peg. Baka kasi sya nman daw isunod ng mga boylets ni kapatid cedruc. Paganda paganda pag may lime talaga.
ReplyDeleteEh halik pang kerida kasi ang ginawa ni cedric.. Yung maharot at malaswa, may L lang.. Kaya di sya passionate or sweet.. Saka yung iwas ni deniece di naman dahil ayaw nya eh medyo nahihiya lang siguro dahil may tao silang kasama,pero di natutol mukhang tuwang tuwa nga eh..
ReplyDeleteHalik pang kerida! Love it!
DeleteKung narape c deniece bakit ang lakas ng loob nmn ni cedric na halikan pa nang malagkit or "playfully"??? Nirape na gaganunin mo pa?
DeleteAtty.. Sige Wag mo pansinin yung kiss eh pano mo explain na naka SMILE si Denice papasok ng elevator!!! Atty may rape victim ba na makakatawa ilang Oras natapos ang rape? Haay.
ReplyDeleteAtty fortun Hindi naman po kami ganun ka bobo. Wag mo na paikutin. Connected yun NASA CCTV kase Kung sila Talaga meaning ngselos Lang si cl kaya setup si vhong.
ReplyDeleteAtty tigilan mo pag banggit sa asawa mo ha. Masama ang balik ng karma
ReplyDeleteSuch a pathetic story attorney. Why dont u just shut the heck up?
ReplyDeleteAtty I hope Hindi mapunta sa family mo ang kasama. Dapat Sayo Lahat mapunta.
ReplyDeletetantanan na nga issue na yan. La rin naman mangyayari. Wala din namng kwenta yun biktima nila lesser evil lang din
ReplyDeleteE pano Kung ikaw mabiktima? Tantanan nlng din?
DeleteI agree! Kung hindi naman nabugbog yan eh di he will still continue cheating with his live in partner. It just so happened that he cheated with the wrong person.
DeleteGood one anon 12:50
DeleteTantananan...
Deleteikaw kaya wag mag-comment anon 12:26am kung wala din naman palang kwenta. di ka naman pinipilit na basahin o alamin ang mga kaganapan sa kasong ito.....
Deletekorek. May punto naman ang panyero ko. Makakalaboso yang vhong na yan.
ReplyDeleteWhy si vhong? Eh Kung tutuusin walang binabat ang pagiging player ni vhong Kay Cedric lee. My gosh.
DeleteTechnically he has a point and technicality is the name of the game. His physical appearance has got nothing to do with the case. Seriously. It is obvious that Cornejo's camp is lying and that's where the lawyers come in to do their job.
DeleteAng case Ay Hindi pambababae ng tao(puno ang mga kulungan pag ganun)...ang case is pangbubugbog, extortion, grave threats and slander...aside from evidences labanan din ito ng credibility...
DeleteSige Atty! Deny pa!
ReplyDeleteatty alangan namang mag smooching un 2 sa harap mo?? parang kelan lang UMIYAK ka dahil nabaril MISIS mo... dali mo makalimot sa karma.... hay
ReplyDeleteKawawang Attorney...Hahatakin k pababa ng mga kliyente mo.tsk tsk
ReplyDeleteKung ayaw nya eh di sana tinulak nya agad.
ReplyDeletenakakaawa tong si atty. fortun, pati sya pilit na kinukumbinse ang sarili sa katotohanang gusto nya patunayan...grabe, di ko kaya trabaho mo kahit pera-pera lang ang dahilan.....akala ko ba titigilan mo na yung iba mong kaso after nung mabaril ang asawa mo....
ReplyDeleteSana yung magagaling na abugado mapunta sa mahihirap na inosente. Yung mga bopola mapunta sa mayayamang guilty. Wish. No wonder maraming nasa kulungan na inosente. Because majority are poor and can't afford top caliber lawyers who only defend if the price is right.
DeleteSana mag reply si atty sa mga comments dito. Tutal patolero naman siya eh sagadin na niya
ReplyDeleteAnony feb 15, 12;33AM... nku d mag rereply yan si atty fortun d2 takot yan mpag tulungan,dhil alm nya sa sarili nya mali un pinaglalaban ng kliyente nyan
DeleteWalaaaaaaaaang kamalai-malisya si atty. fortun! Napaka busilak ng kanyang kalooban!!! Parang mga kliyente nya sobrang inosente! Went to UP law to save cedric and deniece. What a waste of taxpayer's money.
ReplyDeleteOh my UP? Mga tao pala nagpaaral sakanya? Im speechless!
Delete“Maybe it's just me, but it looks like the girl didn't even want to be kissed." Eh Attorney, dapat pala si Cedric ang ihabla ni Deniece for sexual harassment o attempted rape at hindi si Vhong.
ReplyDeleteTrue!!!!
Delete2 attempted rape in 1 night? Ang busy ni ate a.
Deletetumpak!!!!
DeleteMy sentiments exactly... pwede nang iconsider na act of lasciviousness yan eh...
DeleteCalling the attention of Deniece Cornejo's lawyer: kung ayaw talaga ni DC, eh sampahan na ng kaso yan si CL... tutal naman nilaglag na rin ni Fortun si DC... di ba sabi nya when he took on Cedric as a client that he does not believe that a rape occurred? (laying the foundation for a different defense kasi bisto sa CCTV ang kasinungalingan nila)
atty mukang hindi truthful sa yo ang kliyente mo. ikaw mismo nagmumukang nakakatawa sa harap ng madla.
ReplyDeleteatty, ang tawag po diyan ay MOTIVE at CREDIBILITY DESTROYER. ok sige good luck sa pagiging spokesperson mo. sabi nga, talk is cheap.
DeleteJust because somebody look so relaxed doesn't mean they are not up for some kind of action either. There's the so-called calm before the storm. Atty Fortun belittles the body language analyses of Cedric and Deniece during their initial interviews, yet here he is, giving his own analysis as per demeanor and actions of the elevator occupants! Hmph!
ReplyDeleteSorry, should have been "Just because they look so relaxed..." My bad ^_^
DeleteWasnt it earlier stated that deniece's actions betray her state (hindi porket nakapagparty, nakapag shopping or hindi hysterical ay hindi narape) and now this lawyer is saying actions=intentions (kalmado kaya imposibleng nasa fight mode)? Atty you came from UP, and that by itself makes you brilliant so i assume you are being naive and ignorant (with conviction) because you were paid a hefty sum to abandon reason and principle.
DeleteHindi na po mangmang ang mga tao. Kaya sana, huwag nila tayong gawing tanga.
ReplyDeletepero yung ibang scene deadma ka..kya kayo nbabaril e .lolz
ReplyDeletei see... You're just doing your job, okay i get it. You'll fail though.
ReplyDeleteYou'd better be the BEST STORYTELLER there is, Atty. Fortun. What a tough and complex bout ahead of you! I don't know what kind or how strong the punches that you have to throw in court to defend LOSERS and (obvious) LIARS and win big. So much is at stake on your part here.
ReplyDeleteLast laugh ka ba talaga dito atty? Kasi win or lose you'll get paid? Where is the acceptance fee going? For a vacation? Early retirement?
ReplyDeleteAsahan mo nalang na memababaril nnmn Hindi ka pa Talaga natuto no?
ReplyDeleteWhat you PERSONALLY KNOW will be insignificant. What will matter are the evidences so shut up ka na lang atty. You have been paid to protect your client. Professionally understandable but where are your principles? Mahirap talaga kumita ng pera ngayon. So sad.
ReplyDeleteSi fortun dapat kunin nila cl na abogado.
ReplyDeleteBaka pag may ka k pic na saka maniniwala si fortun
ReplyDeleteIf you think DC and CL are not close, sadly then, Attorney, you are also being duped by those two, just like everyone else. No matter where you look at it, that kiss or whatever you may call it, is in direct contradiction to their earlier claims. Your efforts in putting credit where it is not due is futile and will most definitely be in vain. Your arguments, no matter how much sense you put into it to make it seem so sound and logical, is still what it is, LAME. It's too bad your brilliance is wasted on those two. You deserve better.
ReplyDeleteRaymond Fortun, you cant twist the facts. The CCTV shows everything that is wrong about your client's account of what happened.
ReplyDeleteano kaya ang masasabi ng asawa mo atty fortun kung ikaw ang nakita sa cam na humahalik sa babae ng ganyan..."non issue kaya un"...
ReplyDeleteAppears to me na he is protecting deniece and doesn't really care about cedric... Why is that so??? Akala ko ba, spokesperson ni cedric lee si fortun?? Eh bakit parang sya mismo, nagjujudge na it was deniece who doesn't want what cedric is doing.. Parang nilalaglag nya na si cedric lang ang may gusto ng lahat ng pangyayari..
ReplyDeleteNah, he also stated that a rape most likely did not occur, what he's trying to do is make all the evidence against his clients seem implausible. he's failing actually.
DeleteGuys, he was just doing her job to defend his client in any ways he can do. Pero for me syempre iilag si deniece kasi may 3 kaya silang kasama may hiya din naman sya kkunti hehe
ReplyDeletewin or lose this attorney will be paid handsomely, with the huge money involve of course he would give his best to this case. they are his clients so HE HAS TO BELIEVE them. he has to side with them. but what surprised me was one comment above that this lawyer said that he will stop being a lawyer after mabaril nung wifey? kung ganun wala din naman pala sya isang salita
ReplyDeleteSi Fortun ang lawyer ni CL what do you expect? SANA MAMBUGBOG DIN SI FORTUN at pagkatapos MANGHALIK NG BABAE SA HARAP NG ASAWA AT MGA ANAK NYA.
ReplyDeleteKAHIT ano pang sabihin ni Atty Fortun, ang CCTV ang evidence na na-set up si Vhong.
ReplyDeleteDonald duck manahimak k nlng oki.putak k ng putak eh.mahal ng bayad ng duck na to.
ReplyDeletelokohin mo Fortun ang lola mo! pinapagod mo lang sarili mo sa kaka-defend mo kela CL
ReplyDeletemalaki ang bayd dyan kay fortun kaya kht kita n rin nya un mga ebidensya pinipilit nyang mali un nkikita natin ...hindi yan mag sasalita ng libre mahal ang bayd dyan ni CL hehe
Deleteyun na lang ang defense niya PERO para sa akin, THIS SHOULD NOT BE IGNORED by the JUDGE. Rape is a serious crime, so consider all the CCTV footage as IMPORTANT EVIDENCE. Now if di makukulong si Cedric at ang gang niya despite all the cctv footage, then di na ako maniniwala sa legal system sa pilipinas.
ReplyDeletenakuuu attorney, galing galingan mo pagdepensa sa kliyente mo mahal ibinayad sa yo, baka ikaw sunod jumbagin ni cedric na yan lol
ReplyDeleteI saw atty fortun na na in person and i admire his skills in photography. Kaso lang atty since u are a good photographer d ba u can capture what they call "madamdaming mga larawan", ung may feelings ba. Iba ba yung interpretation atty pag cctv at gumagalaw mga tao, hay naku akala ko magaling ka sa craft mo. O baka sabihin mo photographer ka at di videographer. Kaya minamaliit mo yung bagong cctv. Tsk tsk.
ReplyDeleteMas mahal ba fee ni atty fortun pag cya na legal counsel nila DC at CL kesa pag speaker lang cya? Nagtatanong lang po.
ReplyDeleteanong "Doesn't look like this group was heading for a fight"? heller??? tapos na nga di ba? nakabugbog na sila e
ReplyDeleteAtty Fortun makipaghalikan kaya ng ganyan sa harap ng asawa mo at mga anak mo at tanungin mo sila kung "non-issue" lang sa kanila.
ReplyDeletesabi nga ni boy abunda,,"hes doing a good job..
ReplyDeleteKailangan talaga gawin ang lahat ng pagsisinungaling or else makukulong sila.
ReplyDeletetulog kana atty!hahaha!
ReplyDeletekung nkita m dn pala na ayaw n deniece ung pghalik n cedric sknya bkt d nya idemanda ng attempted rape?o kaya pabugbog nya rin!hahaha!chka malamang relax n talaga cla jan dahil tapos n ung mga plano nla na akala nla mgtatagumpay!haha!isep isep dn atty!d mapapalitan ng pera ang dignidad mu!bgay kau ng mga kliyente mu!ggwin lhat makalusot lng!mga paliwanag nyo bulok!hahaha
CLAP, CLAP, CLAP!! Bravo, Atty. Fortun! Cedric Lee is really getting his money's worth by hiring you. you get paid to say this isn't???
ReplyDeleteSometimes a lawyer should have a conscience and a sense of delicadeza and not just go after the money. All the evidence needed was presented so well that there was no way you can deny nor circumvent it.
ReplyDeleteWalang lalake sa matinong pagiisip ang pilit na hahalik sa "kaibigang" babaeng "rape victim" after she had just been raped! Sobrang gulo lang ng logic ninyo! Mga sinungaling!!
ReplyDeleteAng mga fortuner mga Fortune hunter parepareho silang pamilya.. at yan si CL at si ATO ay mag bestfriend at kung titignan ninyo karamihan din sa mga kaso ng mga fortuner di lahat panalo! kaya nga pera pera lang yan!
ReplyDeleteTa**a lang?? Atty. ka pa man din. The girl didn't want to be kissed?? Heck she was smiling and was kissed twice! Wag nyo gawing ta**a mga tao. I'm very disappointed with fortun for actually accepting in defending these thugs. Shame on you! Pera pera ka lang din pala!
ReplyDeleteDEVIL'S ADVOCATE SI FORTUN
ReplyDeleteSi fortun ang ramdam ko sakanya, gusto nya lang patunayan sarili nya. gusto nya lang ipakita sa lahat na magaling syang abogado. kahit talo ang kaso, kaya nyang ibaliktad. feeling ko. ganun gusto nya iparating
ReplyDeletewow, grabe namang babae yan, parang si helen of troy, daming gustong umangkin kahit ayaw, ni-rape tas ngaun hinalikan ng ayaw nya. VIRGIN tlga ang peg?!?
ReplyDeleteattorney baka nkklimutan mo may asawang tao yung humahalik sa babaeng ayaw naman pahalik, ano kaya mrrmdaman ng asawa mo kung ikaw yan.
ReplyDeletesi atty. ilang taong nagaral, nagsunog ng kilay para ipasa ang BAR, nilinang ng karanasan at panahon at nagpakadalubhasa sa pagiging abogado, nagiging B_BO din pag tinapatan ng pera. hay atty. di na mga tanga tao ngayon, kaya di porket sinabi ng isang abogado paniniwalaan kagad, sige lang pababain nyo pa dignidad nyo sa buong pilipinas, walng humahanga at bumibilib sa pinaglalaban nyo atty.
ReplyDeleteatty., ok na nga khit pangit ka abogado ka nman e, pero ngayon yun na nga lng propesyon mo ang meron ka sinira mo pa. maawa ka nman sa mga anak mo, how can you teach them to be good people when you urself bends the truth & makes a fool of urself in their eyes.
ReplyDeleteilang taon ka nagaral atty para maging abogado and yet ganyan ang gagawin mo.. tsk.. tsk.. i know trabaho yan.. pero sh*t lng..pera pera na lang talaga ngayon.. good luck sa karma.. wag sana balikan pamilya mo dahil sa pagtatanggol mo sa mga masasamang tao.
ReplyDeleteMabuhay ka Atty!
ReplyDeleteBakit sa area ng ears ang kiss? Hindi ba erogenous zone ng girl 'yon?
ReplyDeleteI think the Attorney is right. At that moment Denice feels like she is being kissed by Judas.
ReplyDelete
