PINANIGAN ng Muntinlupa Regional Trial Court Branch 205 ang “petition for writ of habeas data” ni Vic Sotto laban kayDarryl Yap.
Kaugnay ito ng inilabas na teaser ng film company ng direktor para sa pelikula niyang The Rapists of Pepsi Paloma.
Direktang binanggit ang pangalan ni Vicsa teaser video hinggil sa rape case ng yumaong sexy star na si Pepsi Paloma.
Sa 20-pahinang desisyon mula kay Muntinlupa RTC Branch 205 presiding judge Liezel Aquiatan, na may petsang January 24 inutusan ng korte si Direk Darryl na tanggaling o i-take down ang teaser video ng pelikula sa lahat ng online platforms.
“Respondent DARRYL RAY SPYKE B. YAP and any person or entity acting on his behalf, including the production team of Vin Centiments are ORDERED to delete, take down and remove the 26-second teaser video from online platforms, social media, or any other medium for having misused the collected data/information by presenting a conversation between two deceased individuals, which cannot be verified as having actually occurred,” bahagi ng desisyon ng korte.
Subalit maaari pa ring ipalabas ni direk Darryl ang pelikula sa mga sinehan.
“That being said, the Court cannot disclose the full reasoning, aside from the misuse of data of unverifiable origin, for requiring the teaser’s removal, as doing so might diminish the excitement of moviegoers and risk revealing key aspects of the film’s content.
“The Court cannot suppress the entire film, as it is based on the life story of Pepsi Paloma where the respondent secured the consent of the mother and brother, derived from public records like newspaper clippings, footages and is protected by artistic freedom and public interest,” sabi pa sa desisyon ng Muntinlupa RTC.
“We are not appealing the Decision.
“It allows the production and eventual release of the movie, with the content of the teaser being part of the movie. We have nothing further to add,” tugon naman ng abogado ni direk Darryl na si Atty. Raymond Fortun hinggil sa lumabas na desisyon ng korte base sa ulat ng ABS-CBN.
Samantala, tuloy pa rin ang gagawing pagdinig sa 19 counts of cyber libel na isinampa ni Vic laban kay Darryl.
“Furthermore, this Court cannot address the issues of malice and bad motive, as these are valid matters for determination in the criminal complaint for cyberlibel, which remains under investigation by the Office of the City Prosecutor.”
Sa pamamagitan naman ni Atty. Enrique Dela Cruz Jr.. naglabas ng statement ang kampo ni Bossing ukol sa desisyon ng korte.
“Nagpapasalamat kami sa kagalanggalang na hukuman dahil naging patas ang pagdinig at nabigyang hustisya ang idinulog na reklamo ni Mr. Vic Sotto.
“Sana ay alisin na agad ang teaser video na ginamit ang pangalan ni Mr. Vic Sotto at tanggalin na din ang anumang promo materials na may pangalan at iba pang sensitive personal information ni Mr. Vic Sotto,” anang abogado.
“May cyberlibel case pa kami against Mr. Yap. Doon na kami mag focus ngayon,” sabi pa.
