00:00Attorney, are we still waiting for someone?

00:12Yes, just one more and then we can start.

00:30Oh, why are you looking at me like that?

00:34Are you still thinking that I'm the one who beat you up?

00:40Face it, Attorney Lelep.

00:43Maybe it's because I'm not the only one who's mad at you and doesn't like you in this firm.

00:53Okay guys, let's begin our defense strategy meeting

00:58for the cyberbullying case that was filed against Ms. Jonna Castillo.

01:07Ms. Castillo is a popular Filipina international model

01:12and part of the Philippine Mega Models Agency, which is one of our high-profile clients.

01:18So please, pay attention to this meeting because this case is important.

01:26Next slide, please.

01:28The one who filed the complaint against Ms. Castillo is a freelance model, Ms. Karen Libreta.

01:38But perhaps, as some if not all may know, Jonna is a money-making machine of PMMA.

01:47She is the Filipino Giselle Bunchen slash Kendall Jenner.

01:53In the complaint filed against Ms. Castillo, the complainant stated that

01:57the reason why she was not included in the projects is because Ms. Jonna is ruining her social media.

02:03And the truth is, quote-unquote, Jonna's behavior is very bad.

02:09Although the case is still in the preliminary investigation,

02:13let's all keep in mind that we are already late to engage the client

02:18and we need to submit her counter-affidavit soonest.

02:23Because it is, after all, still best to put an end to this complaint at the fiscal level,

02:30given the image of our client.

02:33Now, I'd like to hear your perspectives on how to approach this case.

02:41Anybody wants to start?

02:44Well, it's clear that the complainant is just fabricating a story

02:49because she is jealous of our client.

02:52And in order for us to protect the reputation of our client,

02:55we need to destroy the credibility of the complainant.

02:59Let's expose all of her bad habits.

03:02Let's pretend that she is a liar.

03:05Well, in fact, let's show that her behavior is really bad

03:09that's why she is no longer hired by commercials and shows.

03:13Attorney Lillet, what do you think?

03:17I think we should focus more on proving the innocence of our client

03:23rather than ruining the complainant.

03:25Let's show that there is no evidence that can prove

03:29that the complainant is right about our client.

03:33We cannot afford to be passive, attorney.

03:36Our client's career is being ruined by the complainant.

03:40We need to fight back with everything that we have.

03:44But if we do that, wouldn't it be like we are the bully?

03:48We need a strategy that not only defends our client

03:52but also upholds our ethical standards.

03:57Well, your approach is weak, attorney.

04:01It's a victim-to-pity effect.

04:04Is your game plan always like that?

04:07For example, you are being bullied so that you can be the ally?

04:12So that you can win?

04:17Alright, that's enough.

04:19Let's focus on the case at hand.

04:22No matter what, doing the right thing is never weak.

04:26Being weak is not cowardly.

04:29Do you know what's wrong?

04:30Ruining and sabotaging others just to win?

04:34That's the real bully.
