Mark Demayo, ABS-CBN News/file</figcaption></figure></div>Actress Bea Alonzo went to the Office of the City Prosecutor of Quezon City on Thursday to file a cyber libel complaint against veteran showbiz columnists, along with other co-hosts of their online shows.Among the respondents is a social media user who allegedly posted defamatory remarks against the award-winning actress.&quot;These are 3 separate criminal cases and yes, 3 respondents per case, and the 3rd case is totally different. It was filed against a certain individual who made defamatory comments on one of Bea’s social media platforms,&quot; said Alonzo’s lawyer Atty. Joey V. Garcia.According to Garcia, her client finally decided to file complaints against the showbiz columnists and hosts because of the damaging statements they made against her.&quot;This is the very first time that Bea has pursued this legal action despite her more than 2 decades in the entertainment industry,&quot; Garcia said.“She has endured all the defamatory and malicious statements against her character by these individuals in the past months or even years with silence, dignity and grace. But there is always a limit and now is the time for definitive legal action,” Garcia said in a separate statement. Alonzo&#x27;s camp hopes the complaints will be resolved quickly and that the respondents will be summoned by the Office of the City Prosecutor.&quot;The allegations in her complaints are supported with proper evidence. We expect that the Office of the City Prosecutor of Quezon City will issue subpoenas to the individuals concerned, who will be given the opportunity to submit their counter-affidavits. We will be ready to respond when the time comes,&quot; Garcia also said in a statement.Garcia, however, did not reveal names of the respondents. He also reminded social media personalities to exercise caution.“We would like to remind all the social media users, especially vloggers to understand the legal implications of engaging in such behavior. To exercise caution and responsibility in all their online interactions,” Garcia said.“Kasi po yung defamatory statements and personal attacks, they are legally actionable. I would like to emphasize that Ms. Bea has been very patient all these years, she has endured all these malicious statements against her character in the past months, in the past years actually with silence, dignity and grace, so there is always a limit,” he added.The respondents in the case have not yet released any statements.
