Businessman Mariano Uy has filed yesterday at the City Prosecutor's Office two complaints for libel and grave slander against City Councilor Edgar Kapirig.

Uy is asking P10-million in damages against Kapirig for allegedly maligning his name and the Botika sa Katawhan, which he established.

In his complaint, Uy stated that last November 16, 2007, the respondent Kapirig uttered defamatory words against him.

Kapirig allegedly questioned the finances and proceeds of donations from the United States intended for the Botika sa Katawhan.    

The Botika sa Katawhan is a project of Uy, providing free medicines to poor city residents. Uy claims the Botika has currently given free medicines to about 8,000 beneficiaries.

According to Uy, the city councilor uttered the defamatory statements in the presence of a doctor assigned at the Botika sa Katawhan and three others who have executed their sworn statements in support to Uy's allegations.

The complaint cited that "the words uttered by the respondent (Kapirig) has cast doubt on the integrity of [Uy] as the founder and administrator of the Botika sa Katawhan.

This is the best example of the rich not having anything to do. Garbo ra jud intawon ni. Hehehe. Mr. Uy should not react this way to criticism. When he accepted the self-flaterring (but actually no-existent) position of "Deputy Mayor" (ha ha ha) from Dan Lim, and started acting like an unelected "somebody" at City Hall, he should understand that everything that he does in connection with his being Deputy Mayor is open to public scrutiny and criticism. It goes with the territory.
Amigo man to Nong Mario pero ug gusto ka motabang sa mga pobre sa Tagbilaran, and filing fee nga imong gibayad sa City Fiscal's Office nga kapin P400 Thousand (underscore Cuatro Cientos Mil) mas magsilbi pa tingali ug imong gi-donar sa proyecto sa mga pobre. Bisan ug unsa pod tingali atong pagtoo, basta Cristiano ta, nagtudlo nato nga magpa-ubos ta. Asa na man atong pagka Kristiyano? Ang gobyerno (Department of Justice) pa hinoon ang nakasapi kay mao may imong gibayaran ug filing fee. hehehe moot ra pod ni . . .
