DOJ Dismisses P25-M Libel Suit Filed By Richard Gutierrez Against PEP

Let's be real. Richard Gutierrez is perfection face-wise, pero bano umarte.

The Department of Justice has dismissed the P25 Million libel suit filed against PEP by actor Richard Gutierrez due to "lack of probable cause."

The libel suit against PEP, editor-in-chief Joan Maglipon, managing editor Karen Pagsolingan and staff writer Bong Godinez was originally filed at the Makati Regional Trial Court, but was later transferred to the DOJ.

The libel suit stemmed from a story that appeared on PEP, alleging that Richard Gutierrez had altercation with another actor, Michael Flores, during the birthday bash of director Mark Reyes in Mar 2009. Richard Gutierrez cried foul over reports that there was "gun-toting" involved.

But wait. Moneyger Anabelle Rama, Richard's Monster Mom, is not finished sticking pins in Jo-An Maglipon voodoo dolls. According to Anabelle,"hindi pa tapos ang laban."

Anabelle Rama's statement in full:

"May naglakad sa kaso dahil sa Makati kami nag-file, pero isang araw pa lang ang hearing, biglang nalipat sa DOJ ang kaso. Bakit hindi pinagbigyan ang fiscal ng Makati na maimbestigahan muna niya ang kaso? Wala bang tiwala ang DOJ sa mga prosecutor ng Makati? Bakit kinuha sa Makati ang kaso? Nagulat na lang kami dahil biglang sa DOJ ang hearing. May dumukot sa kaso.

"Sayang ang DOJ Prosecutor na si Sytat [Mary Jane W. Sytat, acting city prosecutor ng Makati City]. Siya ang humawak sa kaso ni Richard. Nagpadala siya sa mga sulsol. Bata pa naman siya. Malayo pa sana ang kanyang mararating. Paano pa siya magiging Justice? Hindi niya ni-review ang kaso dahil kung ni-review niya ang kaso, hindi matatalo si Richard.

"At yung lawyer ng PEP, alam ko na ngayon kung bakit tatawa-tawa siya. Alam niya na madi-dismiss ang kaso dahil nilakad niya. Ayokong banggitin ang pangalan niya. Basta, malaki ang kanyang mata at malalaki ang litid niya sa leeg!"

I believe Anabelle Rama. The case is far from over because from her statements above someone has grounds to file a libel case against her.

Anabelle runs her mouth off every time she’s interviewed. She’s fond of telling it’s just her being frank and truthful. Someone should tell her it’s her being arrogant and ill-mannered. Truth be told, she and her manners are not fit for society. She gets away with it because she has money, therefore there are many around her who are more than willing to kiss her ass.

Don't you just wish Zorro's horse could give Anabelle Rama a little kick in the head to make her realize that just because her family's production company is called Royal Era and Ruffa Gutierrez won second princess in the Ms World competition many moons ago, doesn’t mean they are royalty? It just means Anabelle is ilusyunada.

Sue-happy Anabelle Rama must be fuming mad because her grubby hands were thisclose to getting that P25 M and it was snatched away.

That millions of pesoses could have been put to good use by the Gutierrez family, like funding Richard Gutierrez’s acting lessons and supporting the freeloaders in that family.

Anabelle Rama is confident that “kakampi namin ang Diyos.” Really now. Don’t you think God has better things to do than take the side of a person who’s fond of taking His name in vain?
