Statement of Sen. Nene Pimentel on Abalos's threat to file libel suit against Lozada

Rodolfo Lozada and Joey de Venecia can sleep tight even in the face of threats of Abalos to file libel charges against them.

Truth is a defense in libel cases especially those that are filed by public officials or people who feel maligned by criticisms arising from the performance of their public duties.

Lozada and Joey can sleep tight. The law is on their side. And truth is their shield that will set them free.

Is it coincidental that Abalos is claiming a P200 million damage compensation from Lozada and Joey de Venecia? P200 million is the amount Abalos was said to have told Neri that "meron ka ditong 200" secretary, or words to that effect.
