Actor Robin Padilla on Thursday appeared before the Nationa Bureau of Investigation-Cybercrime Division (NBI) to file online libel charges a twitter user who allegedly bashed him during Monday’s polls.
In a letter addressed to NBI-CCD chief Ronald Aguto Jr., Padilla asked the Bureau to identify and locate the Twitter user Miss Krizzy (@krizzy_kalerqui).
In a three-page complaint, Padilla quoted Miss Krizzy’s tweet on May 9 which said: “This is a clear violation of election law. Throw him in jail!”
On May 9, Miss Krizzy posted a screenshot of Padilla’s Instagram post of a shaded ballot. Both Padilla’s and Miss Krizzy’s post has been deleted since.
Atty. Philip Jurado, Padilla’s lawyer who accompanied him at the NBI, said Padilla’s Instagram photo only showed the actor’s desire to vote after the government removed his right to suffrage in 1995 for illegal possession of firearms.
Jurado added that Miss Krizzy has definitely not conducted enough research that the actor cannot obtain an official ballot from any precinct since he is not a registered voter.
Jurado added in the complaint that the sole purpose of the tweet was to defame Padilla since he is campaigning for Davao City Mayor Rodrigo Duterte, a presidential candidate that the Twitter user does not support.
Aguto has accepted Padilla’s complaint and said that the first step is to identify the said Twitter user.
In an Instagram post, Padilla said he is not tolerating the present assassination of his character for his honor is the only thing he has left after most of his civil rights were taken away from him.
Padilla added that if he did something as an election offense, he demanded the Commission on Elections (Comelec) that he be arrested if they can prove that he indeed went to a precinct, voted, and took photos of an official ballot.
His wife Mariel Rodriguez also took to Instagram to defend her husband and vowed to help anyone to convict Robin if proven that he violated election rules.
Meanwhile, the subject of the complaint, Miss Krizzy, defended herself before her more than 318,000 Twitter followers.
Miss Krizzy said she only made a comment and reacted based on the picture she has seen. She also made an indirect call to Padilla and the NBI to also look for the other netizens who commented and shared the said photo.
She then added that she did not bash the actor since bashing is “subjectively hitting a particular personality. It is totally different from stating a generic and objective reaction.”
Some Twitter users also showed support to Miss Krizzy.
Netizens cried foul as to why the Twitter user was singled out when there were lots of others who posted the same thing not only on Twitter but also on Facebook.
Twitter user Jesus Falcis, said that there is a number of lawyers from the University of the Philippines (UP) willing to help Miss Krizzy out is she wants to seek legal advice.
