I just got this email, ridiculing once again Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby. The email’s subject said, “Dyosabel, Ang Tatalo Sa Dyesebel,” a pun on the upcoming Anne Curtis starrer, “Dyosa.” Anne Curtis is rumored to be the girlfriend of Sam Milby. And of course, the pic that accompanied the email is ultimately a dig on Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby who in the pic are depicted as mermaids ala Dyesebel. Mermaids or “sirena” in local parlance means “super sireyna, lol.” The email originated from a certain call center and although there is a warning of it not to be distributed aside from their circle, it spread like wildfire in the email inboxes of so many Filipinos, mostly yuppies.

And in the spirit of a must journalism ala Ces Drilon, it must be shared to my readers as well. A must journalism i declare, means, to always be in the presence of and/or in the midst of the action reporting..in short, kailangan kasali lagi..report lang ng report, kesehoda..so there..kahit ayaw ipa-publish ng mga nagforward, aba ikalat ba naman nila pagkatapos may disclaimer pa, ganun din yun noh!..(Disclaimer: BTW..the photo is Definitely photoshopped)..

In what looked like a battle for how many stars will show up to support their camp. Lolit Solis also had her stable of stars Alfred Vargas, Paolo Contis and Yasmien Kurdi for support. Actor Mark Herras also wanted to come personally but was prevented by previous commitments.

Originally, Lolit Solis wanted actors Yul Servo, Eric Quizon and Rustom Padilla as witnesses for her. In her rejoinder-affidavit to the reply-affidavits of actors Sam Milby and Piolo Pascual in the libel case filed by the two against her, Lolit Solis said in her affidavit that “there is nothing libelous about my article.

“I merely narrated in my article that I saw the two men “nagbubulungan” and as they are “nagbubulungan,” it obviously follows that ‘halos magkadikit na nga ang mga pisngi nila. I saw them with my own eyes… I have no reason to fabricate a story. I carry no grudge against any of the complainants.”

Nowhere in the article daw that she said that Sam Milby and Piolo Pascual are gay or homosexuals or that both are engaged in “homosexual activities.”

Lolit Solis also questioned that the affidavit of the witnesses presented by Sam Milby and Piolo Pascual, namely by, Angel Locsin, Rica Peralejo, Cristy Fermin, Pokwang, several employees of Toni and Guy Salon and Timex, and two members of the general public who felt affected by the article, were filed belatedly when it could have been made when they filed their original libel complaint.

“The length of time that lapsed before presenting their testimonies casts serious doubts as to the reliability and authenticity of the claims of these witnesses. It was very convenient for the complainants because they had more than enough time to set their story straight and go shopping for witnesses. It was also readily apparent that these witnesses are either people under their employ/pay, or close associates and employees belonging to their home network [ABS-CBN].

“Their testimonies therefore carry very little weight for being biased and self-serving.”

hmm…

Lolit Solis wants Yul Servo, Eric Quizon and Rustom Padilla as witnesses for her in the libel case filed against her by actors Sam Milby and Piolo Pascual. She did not elaborate why.

The libel case charged against Lolit Solis by Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby stemmed from an alleged incident at the Hotel Sofitel on October 12, 2007, and which Lolit Solis wrote in her column which alleged that the actors were engaged in a romantic tryst and suggesting that the Philippines top matinee idols have a gay relationship.

Lolit Solis then offered feelers to the lawyers of Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby to retract the said article but the retraction will be able to say that Lolit probably mistook two male prostitutes for Sam and Piolo. That made Sam and Piolo’s camp and lawyers more angry.

Witnesses in support of Piolo Pascual and Sam Milby, fellow Philippine showbiz celebrities Angel Locsin, Rica Peralejo and comedienne Pokwang submitted their sworn affidavits, testifying that neither actor was at the said hotel on the date specified by Solis.

And to which Lolit Solis retorted, “Tatlo lang na witness ang gusto ko. Sana, mag-witness sa akin sina Yul Servo, Eric Quizon at Rustom Padilla!”.

Lolit Solis’ stable of stars, Lolit being a talent manager also, are willing to also make witness affidavit statements in support of her. Lolit Solis is scheduled to submit a counter-affidavit on the Libel charge against her on February 6.
