Willie hindi makukulong, maraming pang-piyansa

Nakipag-meeting kahapon si Willie Revillame sa kanyang mga abogado.

I’m sure, may kinalaman ang kanilang meeting sa utos ng Court of Appeals na arestuhin si Willie dahil sa child abuse case na isinampa laban sa kanya noong March 2011.

Malulungkot ang mga hoping na makita si Willie na nasa likod ng rehas na bakal dahil bailable o puwede siyang magpiyansa para sa kanyang temporary freedom habang dinidinig sa korte ng Quezon City ang kaso.

Sa rami ng mga pagsubok na pinagdaanan ni Willie, alam ko na matatag siya at malalampasan niya ang mga pinagdaraanan na problema. Si Willie pa?

Abogado ni Willie naglabas na ng official statement sa isyung child abuse

May paglilinaw si Atty. Leonard De Vera, ang legal counsel ni Willie sa child abuse complaint ng DSWD (Department of Social Welfare and Development).

Naglabas si Atty. De Vera ng official statement dahil may mali ang mga report na lumabas kahapon sa mga diyaryo, radio, at mga television news report.

Ito ang official statement ng abogado ni Willie: “We wish to correct news reports appea­ring today that Mr. Willie Revillame refused to submit himself to the jurisdiction of the court and that a warrant of arrest should be issued against him for a child abuse case that was filed back in 2011.

“This case was an off-shoot of the airing of the 12 March 2011 episode of the now-defunct show Willing Willie aired in TV5, where a six-year old boy performed a dance which was claimed by critics as child abuse.

“Contrary to reports, Mr. Revillame is not evading the complaint against him as he has submitted himself to the legal process. Upon the finding of probable cause by the regional trial court of Quezon City Branch 86, Mr. Revillame sought and was immediately granted bail. Mr. Revillame voluntarily posted bail in the amount of P80,000.00 on September 4, 2013 or more than two years ago.

“Accordingly, it is u nnecessary for the trial court to issue a warrant of arrest against Mr. Revillame.

“As part of Mr. Revillame’s right to due process, he appealed the trial court’s finding of probable cause against him before the Court of Appeals by way of Petition for Certiorari.

“However, the resolution of this appeal remained pending for 2 years, until the Court of Appeals ruled last September 7, 2015.

“The inaccurate reports spreading in social and mass media are regrettable and are being misinterpreted by certain quarters on account of Mr. Revillame’s success in his new show Wowowin now being aired in GMA 7.

“It is evident that these reports are intended merely to taint and besmirch Mr. Revillame and his new show in the Kapuso network.

“Mr. Revillame has the Constitutional right to be presumed innocent while his case is being heard by the court. We categorically assert that there is no evidence that Mr. Revillame is guilty of the the crime charged against him.

“Mr. Revillame remains confident that he will be vindicated as he had absolutely no criminal intent when he invited the child contestant to showcase his talent. He had done nothing to degrade, debase, or demean the dignity of the child.”
