Katips lead star-director-producer Atty. Vince Tañada is currently mulling the idea of filing a libel case against former Ms. Q and A Grand Winner Juliana Pariscova Segovia.
This is after Juliana’s Facebook posts, insinuating that the awards won by Katips at the 70th FAMAS Awards are not legit.
In an interview with DZRH, Tañada slammed Segovia over his malicious post.
The Katips director said he’s currently talking with his fellow lawyers about the possibility of suing Segovia over his libelous post.
“Sana po, magkaroon na po ng aral ‘yung mga nagpapakalat na ‘yan. In fact, nakikipag-usap na po ako ngayon sa aking… kasi alam n’yo naman po na ako ay abogado din. At ang sabi ng aking mga partner dito sa aking law firm, ‘yung ipinalabas na post nitong dating nanalo sa Ms. Q&A na si Juliana ay totoong libelous, ano.
“Talagang ito ay may malicious imputation para makapanira, na hindi naman talaga maganda, ‘no? Dahil ang libel ay isang krimen na dapat parusahan. Kaya nag-uusap-usap ang kampo po namin kung ano ang mga susunod na hakbangin dahil hindi po siya tumitigil hanggang sa ngayon,” he said.
Tañada also added that he’s confused about where the gay comedian is coming from since he’s not part of the movie Maid in Malacañang who’s pitted against Katips.
“Siya po ay hindi po namin alam… naunawaan ko po yung sitwasyon nina Darryl Yap dahil sila ay person of interest. Pero itong si Juliana ay nagtataka ako, wala naman siyang… hindi naman siya kasali sa pelikulang ‘Maid in Malacañang,’ pero nakikialam siya at nagsasalita sa mga ganitong bagay.”
Following the awards night on Saturday, July 30, where Katips won most of the major awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor for Tañada, Segovia took to Facebook to post his rant against the FAMAS 2022 Awards results.
“Babatiin ko na sana yung humakot daw ng awards sa FAMAS at pelikulang pa-victim na kunwari tinatapangan para itapat sa Maid in Malacañang, kaso andaming resibo.
“Sige na nga… Congrats Haahahaha!”
In a succeeding post on Sunday, July 31, he again lambasted Katips for winning the Best Supporting Actor award for John Rey Rivas besting award-winning actor John Arcilla.
“so ayun na nga, TINALO nung taga #KATSIP si JOHN ARCILLA???
“para lang makasabay kayo sa MAID IN MALACAÑANG manggagago kayo ng tao. jusko! HAHAHAHA!”
