Sen. Risa Ontiveros filed cyber libel complaints against several personalities, including former
00:06
Senate probe witness Michael Maurilio. Ontiveros filed her complaints with the
00:10
Justice Department's prosecution service on Wednesday, July 9. She accuses the respondents
00:15
of spreading disinformation, primarily through a video in which Maurilio claimed Ontiveros
00:20
bribed him to testify. In a Senate hearing, Maurilio testified that he was abused by members
00:24
of Kybaloi sect, the Kingdom of Jesus Christ. He also said he witnessed suspicious activities
00:29
by members of the Duterte family who are friends with Kybaloi. Maurilio changed his tune in
00:34
the video, which was posted on Facebook in late June. Ontiveros said Maurilio made distress
00:38
calls to her office right before the video was published on June 24 and that he might
00:43
be under pressure to recant. Besides Maurilio, Ontiveros named the following respondents.
00:50
Last week, Ontiveros asked the National Bureau of Investigation to investigate Maurilio and
00:55
several vloggers for cyber libel. This time, she is formally asking the Justice
00:59
Department to prosecute the respondents for a criminal offense.
