The findings of the NBI was released to the media by Senate Majority Leader Vicente Sotto III on Monday. The senator made his claim after confirming to the media that he was soon going to file his cyber libel case against Cocoy Dayao.
Sen. Tito Sotto did not revealed yet on when he will file the case to Dayao but he only noted that his basis for filing is Dayao’s “libelous attacks” against him.
Popular blogger Thinking Pinoy or RJ Nieto claimed earlier that Cocoy Dayao managed the SNM blog which previously published an article calling seven senators “Malacanang Dogs” for not signing a resolution urging the government to end the killings.
Sen. Sotto, however, claimed that the resolution never reached his office, so there’s no way he refused to sign the petition. The same article allegedly made by Dayao as publisher of Silent No More criticized each of the seven senators including Sotto that also resulted in name-calling.
The senator was called a “rapist, plagiarist, and bigot who called all single mothers as good for nothing but accidental whores.”
Sen. Sotto also expressed hope that his complaint versus Cocoy Dayao will “prosper.” The veteran senator also request the NBI to cancel Dayao’s passport.
When asked by some members of the press if his cyber libel complaint has the support of the six other senators mentioned in the article, Sen. Sotto said that he has yet to talk to his colleagues.
Aside from Sen. Tito Sotto, the other senators who was described by Silent No More as Malacañang Dogs are Senate President Aquilino Pimentel II, Richard Gordon, Cynthia Villar, Juan Miguel Zubiri, Gringo Honasan, and Manny Pacquiao.”
