This has reference to your story “Bohol mayor ‘pulled pants down’ during flight?” written by Rudy Santos which was published on page 14 of The Philippine STAR issue last Dec. 25, 2011. Please allow me to give my reactions on the said story.
1. I categorically deny the allegation that I pulled down my pants and expose my genitals to the flight attendants. I am in fact scandalized by this pathetic fiction of imagination on the part of the flight attendants that I am taking legal action against them.
2. I am not aware that “Camille Rose Diaz and Janine de Castro filed grave scandal and sexual harassment charges” against me “before the city prosecutor’s office the day after the incident”.
3. I would have welcome the filing of any case to give me the opportunity to refute the allegations but no such case has been filed to the best of my knowledge.
4. What I know is that there has been an on-going shame campaign against me using Facebook and Youtube by my sworn enemies including media practitioners working in the employ of my political rivals.
I will personally furnish you of copies of my case against the flight attendants and crew for your perusal.
