Shortly after Ogie Diaz was served with three cyber libel complaints by Bea Alonzo, he said that he would not want any more pretensions with how he would address the matter.

Diaz took to his Facebook account on Thursday, May 2, to state that he doesn’t want to be fake with his intentions in making sure that the case lodged by Alonzo against him were put to order.

“Pasensya na sa lahat ng reporters na tumatawag para maging balanse lang ang kanilang report. Naiintindihan ko kayo kung nginangarag kayo ng news desk o ng editors niyo,” he said. “Makakarating din naman sa amin yan para sagutin sa takdang panahon. Pero eto ha? Ayoko nang magpakaplastik.”

(I want to apologize to the reporters who are calling our camp to ensure their reports are balanced. I understand your news desk or editors are following you up about this. The right time for us to address the matter will come. But to put it this way, I don’t want to be fake.)

While citing his Showbiz Update online show, Diaz reiterated what he claimed he and his co-anchors were always saying in their show — that Alonzo and her ex-fiance Dominic Roque would end up together.

“Tulad ng lagi naming hinihirit sa Ogie Diaz Showbiz Update, sila pa rin ang gusto naming magkatuluyan sa ending (Just like what we always say at Ogie Diaz Showbiz Update, it is them who we want to end up together in the end),” he said.

Diaz, as well as his Showbiz Update co-hosts, received three separate cyber libel complaints by Alonzo’s camp, which were filed at the Quezon City Prosecutors Office.

Aside from Diaz, Cristy Fermin and her co-hosts were also the recipients of such complaints, including an unnamed netizen who pretended to know the actress.
