Share:

Former Iloilo City Administrator and now blogger Manuel “Boy” Mejorada was arr3sted for the lib3l c@se filed against him by Sen. Franklin Drilon.

Mejorada’s partner confirmed the action taken by the authorities against the blogger. “I want to inform everybody he was arr3sted by agents of the NBI special operations group at around 9:20 a.m. today, Nov. 22, 2021. He was treated well, according to him. He will be turned over to the NBI detention center this afternoon.” said Mrs. Mejorada.
 

“He was arr3sted on basis of warrant of arr3st to serve his sentence for the libel c0nviction with Drilon as complainant. May parusa na 2 to 4 years for each count sa apat na kaso na inireklamo ni Drilon. Maligaya nq ngayon si Drilon. Mapapatahimik si Boy. He wasn’t able to say good-bye and he asked me to post this message for him. Maraming salamat mula sa kanya.” she added.
 

In 2017, Drilon filed a lawsuit against Mejorada for allegedly writing against the senator’s projects in Iloilo, including the Iloilo Convention Center and the Iloilo Circumferential Road, both of which were started during the time of former President Noynoy Aquino.
 

In the same year, the Pasay City Regional Trial Court found Mejorada guilty and sentenced him to two to four years in prison. But Mejorada's camp tried to reverse the v3rdict against him which even reached the Supreme Court.

In 2019, the Supreme Court favored the sentence against Mejorada.
 

He said he was ready to be impris0ned if it would be the payment for telling the truth. “If impris0nment be the price for courageously exposing the truth, I have prepared myself and my family to accept my fate.” said Mejorada in 2019.

Marilou Ki: Ganyan na ba ang politika sa atin? Wala na ba tayong karapatan magsabi ng ating saloubin bilang Filipino citizen? Nasaan ang hustiya Senator Drilon? are you the weakest link? Yes I know that you are in the position right now, but pls don't @buse that position of yours pls, what ever you have right now, whatever power you have always remember that is all temporary! If Filipino people cr1ticize you, I think it's bcoz they see something wr0ng about you, yes there will be a positive and negative cr1ticism, but being a politician you must be prepared for that cr1ticism, in the first place nobody is perfect, Are you saying Senator Drilon that you are perfect and you don't have mistakes in life? If that is so then, it's a big clap for you. I think every Filipino people are entitled for their views and opinions and their is nothing wrong about that, as we should have a freedom of speech. Senator Drilon, you might get offended with whatever the vlogger has said about you, but think again please, is that the right way to do things? I think that is a too harsh action to do, can you not reflect why he has said that to you? why this vlogger has said something negative about you? I am not a politician but as a concern Filipino citizen, I don't think you are fair enough with what you have done! Not a good and wise decission Mr Senator, remember that Filipino people gave their trust on you, that's why you are on to that position, please give him a benefit of the doubt Mr Senator, putting someone in pris0n just bcoz of what he has said negative about you, have you ever think what could be the effect to this person and so with the Filipino people? You just probably light up the fire, have a heart, you owe it to the Filipino people that position of yours, but not in a way that you have put him in pris0n! Don't abuse that power, It's really a big shame Mr Senator!
 


Cleofe Danila: Si President Duterte grabing pag bast0s ni trililing, di lang si trililing ang dami pa, pero ni isa walang pinakulong, kasi may utak at alam nya pag papatulan mo, ibig sabihin totoo, bakit ka na anghangan kung di ka nag sili sa sarili mo? Kung ganyan lang man din na di pweding ma batikos, huwag nyong iboto ang taong yan, bat ka maapektohan kung di totoo or di ka guilty? baka na sudot dahil may katutuhan na baka malaman.
