Cedric Lee, Deniece Cornejo and Jed Fernandez are found guilty of grave coercion filed against them by Vhong Navarro.
Vhong Navarro won the grave coercion case he filed against Cedric Lee, Deniece Cornejo and Jed Fernandez.
MTC Taguig Branch 74 released a decision regarding the incident that happened back in 2014.
ABS-CBN reported MJ Felipe shared the news about this on his Twitter account.
In a phone interview, the ‘It’s Showtime’ host could not hold back his tears upon learning about the court’s decision. He is currently in the US for an event of the noontime show.
“Sobrang saya kasi ito yung justice na hinihintay natin eh. Parang bumabalik sa ala-ala ko yung mga pinaggagawa sa akin, pwersahan kang pinapirma sa hindi mo naman kagustuhan, tinakot ka, sinaktan ka, binantaan ang pamilya mo, tinutukan ka ng baril,” Vhong recalled what happened.
He also commended the justice system in the Philippines. The Kapamilya comedian thanked all the people who prayed and supported her, especially his legal team who worked hard for this case for five long years.
“Nagpapasalamat ako sa Panginoon, binantayan niya ako at binigyan niya ako ng lakas ng loob na sabihin ang katotohanan, ginawa ko ito para hindi na ito ulitin sa kahit kanino. Kung nagawa sa akin, pwede ring gawin sa iba, diba?” he said.
It can be recalled that there was rape allegations about him from the camp of Deniece.
