Her feelings of being wronged by my post was based on a common truthful observation\u00a0 about her body of work relative to Maine Mendoza of AlDub which many people other than me also pointed out,\u201d Lim said in a statement released in his blog.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIs it a crime for ordinary people, bloggers, showbiz writers and journalists to point out valid observations about those in the public eye? Other bloggers, writers, journalists and I should not be cowered by the filing of cases just to suppress the freedom to express and of the press,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI will fight this case with courage because I have malicious intent. My lawyer is also studying the filing of counter charges for malicious prosecution and damages for this suppression of our freedom of the press and expression,\u201d Lim added.<\/p>\n<p>This would not be the first libel case filed against Lim. The blogger has been arrested by the Philippine National Police (PNP)&#8217;s Women and Children Protection in August 11, this year over a libel case filed by Deniece Cornejo.<\/p>\n<p>Lim released Cornejo\u2019s medical report, prompting the latter to press charges.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Liz Uy, stylist to celebrities and the president will file a count of slander and six counts of online libel &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":64405,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,46],"tags":[249],"class_list":["post-64404","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment","category-entertainment-ph","tag-rewrite","mauthors-katherine-padilla","mauthors-philippine-canadian-inquirer"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64404","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=64404"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64404\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64405"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64404"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64404"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64404"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
