MANILA<\/strong>\u00a0— Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Secretary Silvestre Bello III is ready to file cases against detractors for their \u201cvicious and malicious attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me address you all, I am left with no recourse but do what is legal and proper under the circumstances,\u201d Bello said in a press conference on Wednesday afternoon.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour penchant of hogging the media must stop. I will see you in court,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Bello noted that he will talk to his lawyers regarding the matter, adding that he is looking to file the cases in Davao City and Isabela.<\/p>\n

\u201cI reiterate the challenge to my detractors. Go to court and sue me if you think you have evidence against me,\u201d the DOLE chief said.
\n\u201cThere seems to be no stopping the vicious and malicious attacks on my person. And these had been exasperating weeks or months since the smear campaign against me started,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Last week, a complaint was filed against Bello before the Presidential Anti-Corruption Commission by an owner of a private recruitment agency.<\/p>\n

Bello earlier said he would bravely face the \u201cmalicious attacks\u201d against him.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am not about to dignify the malicious attacks against me, but the apparent orchestrated campaign to vilify my name and that of the institution I represent necessitated that I confront these issues head on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

At the same time, the labor chief noted that the \u201cdemolition campaign\u201d against him began early this year during the preparation for the launch of the OFW ID.<\/p>\n

He claimed that these people, after failing to carry out their initial plan, are now using an issue involving the request of an OFW for the repatriation of an eight-month child from Saudi Arabia, which his detractors claimed a matter he failed to act upon.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a blatant lie. What was being followed up in our office was the pending case of a recruitment agency whose license was cancelled,\u201d Bello said.<\/p>\n

Bello was earlier disqualified from the Judicial and Bar Council’s shortlist of candidates for the Ombudsman position due to a syndicated estafa case against him pending at the Department of Justice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
