Bong Revilla natalo sa eleksyon dahil sa fake news; reresbak, magdedemanda

Bong Revilla

RERESBAKAN ng actor-public servant na si Bong Revilla ang mga taong nasa likod ng pagpapakalat ng fake news na isa sa naging sanhi umano ng pagkatalo niya sa nagdaang midterm elections.

Nabigong makapasok sa Top 12 si Sen. Bong ng mga kumandidato sa senatorial race noong May 12 kung saan nanguna nga sa listahan ang kaalyado ni dating Pangulong Rodrigo Duterte na si Sen. Bong Go.

Isang araw matapos ang halalan ay nag-concede na agad ang tinaguriang Titanic Action Star nang hindi makapasok ang kanyang pangalan sa inilabas na partial and unofficial election results sa senatorial race ng Commission on Elections.

At dahil nga rito, mukhang plano ngang magdemanda si Sen. Bong laban sa mga tao o grupo na nagpakalat umano ng malilisyoso post sa social media na maaaring naging dahilan kung bakit siya natalo sa kanyang re-election bid bilang senador.

Partikular na pananagutin ng kampo ng outgoing senator ang nagpakalat ng balita tungkol sa umano’y responsibilidad niya na maibalik ang nawawala raw P124.5 million pork barrel funds.

Ayon sa legal counsel ni Sen. Bong na si Atty. Raymond Fortun, magsasagawa sila ng “legal remedies” kontra sa mga nanira sa aktor at sa kanyang pamilya sa pamamagitan ng online platforms, na  nakaapekto raw sa kanyang integridad at reputasyon.

“After consulting with his family, Senator Revilla has decided to defend his and the family’s reputation by exercising the legal remedies for people whose reputations are harmed through online platforms (social media, websites, blogs, vlogs),” pahayag ni Fortun.

Aniya pa, “It is his hope that doing so would discourage the use of anonymity or digital platforms to malign others without consequence.

“Senator Revilla had high hopes that the public will continue to trust his commitment to improve the quality of life for Filipinos and vote for him in the 2025 senatorial elections,” pahayag pa ni Fortun.

“However, it is regrettable that his aspiration to continue to be of service to the country has been derailed due to the insidious work done by certain groups and individuals who had spread fake news on social media, which unfortunately was accepted as gospel truth by the unsuspecting public,” sabi ng abogado.

Patuloy pa niya, “He was rightfully acquitted (of) these false charges in 2018 and in 2021.

“Notwithstanding such acquittals, certain individuals and groups during the run-up to the 2025 elections continued to vilify him in spreading posts and fake posts that he had been convicted and ordered by the Sandiganbayan to return P124,500,000.

“This is a vicious lie with a clear and malevolent intent to damage Senator Revilla’s good name and reputation,” sabi pa ni Fortun.
