The camp of actress-comedienne Awra Briguela has turned the tables on her accuser as she filed a counter-affidavit and more complaints before the Makati Prosecutor’s Office in connection with the criminal complaints she’s facing following a brawl outside a bar in Poblacion district last June.

Briguela — whose real name is McNeal Briguela and who uses the pronouns she and her — submitted her counter-affidavit before Makati Senior Assistant City Prosecutor Arvin Amata in answer to Mark Christian Ravana’s complaints of light threats, grave coercion and violation of the Safe Spaces Act or the “Bawal Bastos” law.
