Last week, the two parties were on the verge of patching things up, with Piolo saying he doesn’t want any enemies and Lolit saying the same (and she even said sorry in Startalk!). Unfortunately, nothing came out of it. At 10am today (December 20), Lolit Solis filed her counter affidavit to Sam Milby and Piolo Pascual’s libel charge against her in the office of Manila City Assistant Prosecutor Dennis Aguila. Below is an excerpt of her counter affidavit courtesy of PEP. Lolit stressed over and over again that she didn’t call or even imply that Sam and Piolo are gay. Read on!
“A close scrutiny of the article subject of the libel complaint would show that contrary to the allegations in the Complaint-Affidavit, I never imputed any malicious or defamatory condition to either Piolo or Sam.
“I never called the complainants ‘gay’ men. Neither did I imply that they were.
“As far as the heading of the article, I had no hand in the heading placed to introduce the article that I wrote. Headings of news articles are the prerogative of the newspaper editor.
“Clearly, with the article, never did I ever state or impute upon the complainants that they were gay. In assessing the nature of the article I wrote, the complainants made a forced reading and ascribed undue significance to the words and sentences in the article which I never implied or meant to impart.
“I carry no grudge or resentments towards any of the complainants. I have no motive to try to dishonor, discredit or besmirch their reputation or character in any way.
