Atty. Lim was under fire after he said that he called on Parlade to discuss the issue and afterward thanked the AFP official for his statement.
“Atty. Juanito Lim, lawyer of Liza Soberano: I reached out to Gen. Parlade yesterday. I thanked him for clearing the name of our client because I intended to send him a personal letter discussing the issue. It was a good conversation.
“Atty. Lim says speaking as a lawyer, he’s ‘happy’ with the statement of Lt. Gen. Parlade,” said the lawyer of Liza based on CNN Philippines tweets.

His statement however wasn’t well-received by netizens since Parlade has just recently red-tagged Liza and threatened her along with Catriona Gray and Angel Locsin.
According to @febbled, Liza most likely did not choose Lim as her lawyer because he was probably hired by the family, thus she should fire him and get a new lawyer that she herself picked.
“most likely she didnt pick this lawyer herself and somebody hired this guy for her. but yeah fire him and get a lawyer for liza soberano, not liza soberano’s family”

@imkristinaperez shared the same view saying Liza should get a new lawyer other than her current one.
“get liza soberano a new lawyer wtf”

Netizen @kuyaisko meanwhile, chided the lawyer as someone who does not know how to recognize a death threat.
“Liza Soberano should definitely fire and replace this lawyer who does not know how to recognize a death threat…”

@carpejemmm on the other hand suggested that Liza should get a new lawyer and a female one because her current lawyer’s statement seemed to contradict his previous statement.
“WHAT?? Liza Soberano, better get a new lawyer and a female one at that. At time like this, statements like this just contradicts what you’ve said before. This isn’t helping the movement at all.”

@richbgracia meanwhile inadvertently lectured the lawyer on how to issue a statement as he shared the statement of Catriona Gray’s lawyer Atty. Joji Alonso.
“this is how you answer, @ liza’s lawyer”

And finally, @pinoyakoblog also saying Liza should definitely change her lawyer after he called and thanked the AFP official for discussing things about Gabriela.
“Kailangan magbago ng abogado si Liza. Sabi ni General tumawag daw abogado Niya to thank him for informing them about Gabriela. #Teleradyo”
