A lawyer for Inquirer columnist and radio host Ramon Tulfo said his legal team might seek to upgrade the complaint against actors Raymart Santiago and Claudine Baretto to frustrated homicide because testimonies from two witnesses showed the respondents wanted “to inflict serious physical harm.”
It was heart-warming to see Zoren Legaspi and BB Gandanghari rib each other like long lost friends in the TV5 studio last Saturday. All the awkwardness between them was gone.
