Cusi hit for cyber libel
By J.Lo
"Wherefore, premises considered, it is respectfully recommended that Alfonso G. Cusi be indicted," Valenzuela City prosecutors in 20-page resolution dated November 14, signed by Senior Assistant City Prosecutor Rudy Ricamor have indicted former Energy secretary Alfonso Cusi for cyber libel over statement posted on Department of Energy's website on February 4, 2022.
The case stemmed from complaint filed by Senator Sherwin Gatchalian following Cusi's issuance of statement after Senate resolution recommending filing of lawsuits against the latter and other officials reached Office of the Ombudsman.
Cusi claimed that in the course of committee hearings, Gatchalian had chosen to lend his ear to those adversarial business interests.
In defense, Cusi had said that his post was not defamatory as he had just criticized conduct of the Senate investigation.
"The fact remains defamatory statements were anchored on false allegations. ..post no longer talks about legality or illegality of transfer of share but it already talks about Gatchalian and his tendency to corrupt, commits fraud, being dishonest and abusive," the resolution read.
The prosecutors said this is "totally alien" to the subject matter or the recommendation of Senate to file cases against Cusi and other government officials.
"Verily, Cusi acted maliciously, when he posted his defamatory statements in the DOE website," it said.
The Senate resolution arose from series of inquiries launched by Gatchalian, the upper chamber's Energy panel chairman, who concluded in his privilege speech that Cusi and key officials of the DOE were "criminally and administratively liable for graft, gross neglect of duty, and grave misconduct and should immediately resign from their posts...for railroading approval of sale of participating interest of Chevron in Malampaya gas field."
