MANILA, Philippines – A veteran journalist who supports Vhong Navarro claimed a gunman was hired to assassinate the actor.
In his official Facebook page, Tony Calvento posted a status that claimed he received word of an intelligence report that said gunmen were hired to assassinate Navarro.

The journalist made the status in reaction to Kat Alano, who surfaced in the news after she claimed to have been raped by a famous personality.

Post by Tony Calvento.

“I’m not concerned with that kasi the real issue is the intel report that have reached us na may kinuhang ‘hired gunmen’ para assassinate si Vhong,” Calvento said.

(I’m not concerned about that because the real issue here is an intelligence report that reached us that said “hired gunmen” were hired to assassinate Vhong.)

“Sinong kumuha? Kayo na bahala mag-isip. Ito ang mas importanteng pagtuunan ng pansin at ma neutralize ng mga authorities,” he added.

(Who hired them? I leave it up to you to decide. This is what the authorities should focus on so that they could neutralize the gunmen.)

Although Alano did not name the alleged rapist in a podcast show with DJ Mo Twister, the DJ used the hashtag #RhymesWithWrong in the show where Alano made the revelation.

Netizens surmised Alano’s alleged rapist is Navarro, who had been accused of rape charges by three different women, including Deniece Cornejo. Cornejo’s rape charges were junked.

Cornejo, with businessman Cedric Lee and several others are all wanted for the charges of serious illegal detention in connection to the alleged mauling of Navarro. Among the accused, only Lee and mixed martial artist Simeon Palma were arrested, while the others were at large.

Calvento hit Alano for being a “fading star” who just rode on the issue to get attention.

“A fading star who has lost his/her credibility will try to get into the picture para mapag-usapan (so she could be talked about). Why not? Survival for subsistence? Fame? To be in the lime light once more? Huwag na lang (Never mind),” Calvento said.

Alano posted an intriguing tweet hours after Calvento posted the status.

Alano said: “When someone starts to build a wall to defend themselves and they haven’t even been accused yet…you have to wonder.”

She then used the hashtag “I see you.”

When someone starts to build a wall to defend themselves and they haven’t even been accused yet..you have to wonder. #iseeyou
