Maria Mercedes Manhilot-Cantu a.k.a. Ched Manhilot, the controversial sister of Cesar Montano airs her side of the story after being sued for Libel by sister-in-law Sunshine Cruz over alleged malicious and hateful emails reportedly being spread through Friendster by Ched Manhilot against her.

Ched Manhilot is based in Italy and is amrried to an Italian. Here’s an email by Ched Manhilot regarding the Sunshne Cruz emails issue:

“I had my qualms about Shine before, and I have my reasons for this. I was just being a protective ate to Cesar then. But when they got married, I tried my best to be her ate as well.

“I have said a lot of things to her personally, both good and bad. I cannot remember specifically if I said those things she claims I said in e-mails. I will have to check my files.

“Shine and I have our misunderstandings. Let’s leave it at that. But for sure, I’m not the cause of their separation issue. That is an old song that the two revive from time to time.

“Re the libel case, I’ll wait for the summons. Until then, I will go on with my life here in Italy. I don’t see any reason for me to be intimidated. After all, I am an Italian citizen.

“My life does not rely on other people’s perception of me. But for Cesar, that is a different story. I hope Sunshine took that into consideration before she did this sort of thing.”

Also in The Buzz last Sunday, Ched Manhilot, has these to say:

“I don’t see any reason to take it seriously after all. Kasi I’m an Italian citizen, the Philippine court has no jurisdiction over me.”

“Huwag niyang sabihin na nine years na kaming magkakaaway o nine years nagtitiis sa akin. That’s a big lie! Nag-start yung rift namin talaga, yung mother ko pinalayas niya doon sa bahay nila. Parang she was not happy to see my mother around.”

About niece Angela Montano: “Nag-away sila, five years ago. They were yelling to each other. Dinala ko si Angela sa Italy. Three months dito sa Italy. She couldn’t stay here anymore so
she had to go back there. Pagbalik niya doon, Tita, wala na yung kwarto ko doon, sabi niyang
ganun. In-invade na raw ng stepmother [Sunshine] niya. Yun isa sa mga sama ng loob ko. Pero hindi ko ipinakita sa kanya.”

These, among other revelations from Ched Manhilot.
