THREAD: A former congressman and vice presidential candidate arrested. VP Sara Duterte is calling his remarks an insult to prosecutors.

@iampinkywebb speaks to Laban ng Masa Chairman @WaldenBello on #TheSource | LIVE bit.ly/3QhtHKU Image
@WaldenBello .@WaldenBello was arrested over cyber libel charges stemming from a case filed by Jefry Tupas — a former Davao City Chief Information Officer under then Mayor Sara Duterte. Tupas said Bello called her a “drug dealer" during an online press conference. cnnphilippines.com/news/2022/8/9/…
@WaldenBello .@WaldenBello: I have no doubt about my innocence
@WaldenBello .@WaldenBello says he was expecting the arrest warrant: But being under arrest is never pleasant
@WaldenBello .@WaldenBello: I'm more convinced than ever that Sara Duterte is behind this whole thing
@WaldenBello .@WaldenBello: We could question if there were certain motives behind the arrest but I don't think we're going to pursue raising it as a problem of process
@WaldenBello .@WaldenBello: Was Sara Duterte aware that Jefry Tupas was at a party with illegal drugs? Tupas wasn't arrested like the others.
.@WaldenBello: Instead of defending her record, the camp of VP Sara Duterte lodged this cyber libel charge and Davao City declared me persona non grata
@WaldenBello .@WaldenBello says cyber libel charge is 'silly and unfounded'
@WaldenBello .@WaldenBello on Sara Duterte telling him to 'stop obsessing over me and stop blaming me for his fall from grace': I don't know what she's referring to. This case brought the attention of the country to her message of responding to criticism.
@WaldenBello .@WaldenBello: It is the vice president who is obsessing over me. She should stop evading the issue. She's behind it, everybody know that.

@WaldenBello .@WaldenBello: We plan to fight this case all the way and take every legal step to show that I'm innocent of this charge of cyber libel. But this goes beyond me. This goes to freedom of speech.
