Lagot — ₱ 1 bilyon libel case, ikakaso laban kay Enchong Dee!

Actor Enchong Dee seems to be in boiling water now after Congresswoman Claudine Diana Bautista-Lim, Party-list Representative of Drivers United for Mass Progress and Equal Rights or DUMPER, filed a cyber lib3l case in the Office of the Provincial Prosecutor in Davao Occidental against him.

This is because Enchong allegedly made “malicious” and “defamatory” statements against her through social media after her marriage to businessman Jose French Lim on February 20, 2021 in Balesin.

 

According to Claudine’s complaint, “Enchong went as far as saying that I used public coffers to fund my wedding by categorically saying that‘ The money for commuters and drivers went to her wedding ’, to the detriment and injury to my honor and name… ” "The posts were meant nothing more than their malicious intentions of maligning my person, depicting me as a corrupt public official," she added.

Claudine is seeking moral damages worth ₱ 500,000,000 including exemplary damages also worth ₱ 500,000,000. Although she admitted that Enchong's public apology about the issue reached her then, she said it was not enough.

“He was not sorry to me and for the damage that he has done. He just wants to deflect, albeit unsuccessfully, this cr1minal charge against him. ” “This does not do any good for him. It only bolstered and magnified his admission of guilt beyond reasonable dount for his un-provoked and baseless libel0us remarks. ”

As of this writing, Enchong has not yet made a statement on the matter.
