Claudine Sues Enchong Dee for P1-Billion Cyber Libel Case

Drivers United for Mass Progress and Equal Rights (DUMPER) party-list representative Claudine Bautista-Lim files a cyber libel case against Enchong Dee at the Office of the Provincial Prosecutor in Davao Occidental.

The congresswoman claims Enchong's tweet related to her Balesin wedding with businessman Jose French Lim last February 20, 2021 was "defamatory, malicious."

“Enchong went as far as saying that I used public coffers to fund my wedding by categorically saying that ‘The money for commuters and drivers went to her wedding’, to the detriment and injury to my honor and name…”

“The posts were meant nothing more than their malicious intentions of maligning my person, depicting me as a corrupt public official,” she said in the complaint.

The Congresswoman is seeking P500-million in moral damages and another P500-million in exemplary damages.

Although she confirmed that the actor sent her an apology, she felt that "he was not sorry to me and for the damage that he has done. He just wants to deflect, albeit unsuccessfully, this criminal charge against him…”

“This does not do any good for him. It only bolstered and magnified his admission of guilt beyond reasonable doubt for his un-provoked and baseless libelous remarks.”
