Radio host and former OWWA official Arnell Ignacio recently went to the Office of the Imus Prosecutor to file cases against singer-actress Mystica. He filed three charges including cyberlibel, sedition, and violation of the Bayanihan To Heal As One Act.
This enraged Mystica who strongly claimed that she had already apologized to President Rodrigo Duterte whom she cursed at.
“I have already done twice! Kung paano ako huminigi ng tawad sa ating pangulong Duterte at since siya naman ang involve dito at si Arnell lang naman at sinampa niya ako in behalf of him (sic).”
She also noted that Arnell doesn’t have the right to file the case on behalf of the President.
“At hinde naman talaga dapat siya ang naatasan mag sampa kung ano yung mga problema on behalf of the president dahil meron parin tayo mga batas na nakasaad diyaan, kung sino ba talaga ang mag ha handle, kung anong department, kung anong sangay ng gobyerno ang mag ha handle sa mga cases.”

Mystica then revealed that she will also file 8 cases against Ignacio.
“Pero dahil nanghimasok siya sa isang bagay, di niya siguro alam na by law at andyan, inilatag ko mismo, I have 8 cases against Arnell Ignacio.
“And I can prove na yung sinampa niya sa akin na tatlong mga kaso, I can prove myself, innocent.”
She even said she is ready to answer the charges filed against her.
“Pinag-aralan ko na lahat ang mga yan mag mula ng ina- announce ni Spokesperson Harry Roque, tungkol dun sa sinabi niya na I violated the Bayanihan Heal as One Act, and I can prove he is wrong.”
This led Ignacio to file the cases her on behalf of the President.
“Kapag seryoso ang issue e file na ako ng case. Hindi talakan lang sa FB. Hindi mo puede mura-murahin si presidente nang ganun-ganun lang at aatungal ka pagkatapos.
“Mas malala, nagyaya ka pa na pabagsakin ang gobyerno imbis na tumulong ka na lang. Yung pagmumura mo naman e parang PERSONAL ang kasalanan sa iyo eh. Kahit man lang sana sa edad nung tao e binigay mo na kahit katiting na paggalang,”
Two days later, Mystica tearfully apologized for criticizing the president, saying she only spoke to the government about her frustrations and disappointment.
