Former Senator Antonio Trillanes files libel and cyber libel suits at the Quezon City Prosecutor’s Office at the National Bureau of Investigation against Atty. Harry Roque, Vlogger Banat By, SMNI hosts, and pro-Duterte accounts that Trillanes said continue to share “fake news” on various social media platforms against him. These accounts have been identified as Mr. Realtalker or Lods Chinito (with Tiktok handles @chinitorealtalker and @chinitotisoy01); Melagin Nastor Evangelista o CATASTROPHE (with X handle @gurlbehindthisb); JoeLas (with X handle @j_laspinas), Michael Gorre o KampilaBoy (with X handle @KampilanBoy); Hampaslupang Mandaragat (with X handle @JohnAmasa2); at X handle @SaraAll2028.
In an interview with various media Trillanes said, “Ito ang ating pushback dun sa kanilang pag disseminate ng false information at mga fake news laban sa akin. Nakita natin na panahon ngayon na makakakuha na tayo ng hustisya.Hindi ko ito inasahan nung panahon ni Duterte.”
The charges against Roque stem from, Roque accusing Trillanes of selling Scarborough Shoal to China in 2012. Trillanes cites that government officials have confirmed this isn’t true.
“Dito makikita na kung ano yung binibintang nila sa akin, na ito yung basis nung aking cyberlibel charges, eh yun pala sila ang gumagawa,” said Trillanes. “Sila pala nag kompromiso ng interes ng ating bansa sa West Philippine Sea.”
