(Eagle News)–Justice Secretary Vitaliano Aguirre said he was slated to file a libel complaint against Senator Risa Hontiveros “very soon.”
Aguirre made the announcement after she called him a “manufacturer and peddler of fake news,” “a cook of fake cases,” and a “reliable friend of criminal masterminds, extrajudicial killers and drug lords” in a statement she issued on Monday.
The statement was released following the Department of Justice’s National Prosecution Service’s dismissal of drug charges against Kerwin Espinosa, Peter Lim, among others, and Janet Lim Napoles’ provisional inclusion into the DOJ’s Witness Protection Program.
“You could see libel cases filed against her,” Aguirre said.
“Very clear na defamatory. I saw and heard what she said,” he added.
