Read the Complete Statement of Atty. Darwin Cañete:
I can easily prove that i do not peddle fake news. I have a full time job and my socmed is a personal account. I do not make money off of it. My timeline has been consistent since 2006. I post the same things before the Dilawans have decided to label people who do not conform to their narratives as " trolls."
Show me a transaction where BBM or PRRD paid me to post for them. We can debate about what is "fake news." But "fake news peddler?" Binabayaran ako para mag post ng fake news as per your post? Paliwanag mo sa judge. Clear your schedule. This will take up your time po.

In his tweet, Cañete seeking help from Atty. Ferdinand Topacio on the possibility of filing a case, in which Atty. Topacio replied by saying: “@canete_darwin Boss, good afternoon. Just finished my research on the feasibility of filing libel and cyberlibel charge against Charie Villa re: her FB posts. It’s a go. Let’s sit down soon next week. Yeah ba!!”
