<p>MANILA — Actor Mon Confiado remains resolute and will not withdraw the cyber libel complaint he filed at the National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) against Jeff Jacinto or &quot;Ileiad,&quot; a content creator who posted a fabricated “copypasta&quot; story about him.</p><p>According to the “High Street” star, Ileiad reached out to him to apologize and appeal the complaint.</p><p>“Nagmamakaawa, nag-apologize. Pero ang mali niya, hindi niya tinangal agad yung post. Hindi yung drinag ‘yung name ko. Ang mali niya raw dapat tinangal agad noong nagmessage ako,” Confiado said in an interview with ABS-CBN News during the shoot of his upcoming horror film “Lilim.”</p><p>“Tuloy. Hindi ko alam saan pupunta kaso, it does not matter. Ang importante maging aware tayo lahat na hindi pwede gagawa basta ng kwento. Ganon lang ba yun? Di lahat tayo nagsiraan. Sabihin joke lang! Kailangan natin itama. Dapat siguro masimulan. Ito na yun,” he added.</p><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmconfiado%2Fposts%2Fpfbid025Nn7dqK4LiTxaiNmyWk2Kun2QWvdDaU41yP1ruSquc3rsgxoJaiyVtNRkgDCyQj3l&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="698" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>Confiado also believes the apology was insincere, noting Ileiad seemingly did not show remorse and also did not immediately take down the post.</p><p>“Nag-apologize pero hindi sincere. Sinabihan mo pa ako ng “is this a threat”? Hindi mo pa din ito tinanggal hanggang kinabukasan ng gabi.  Oo. Nagpublic apology ka kunwari later on pero sarcastic at hindi sincere. At wala ni katiting na pagsisisi at proud ka pa sa ginawa mo. At ginagawa niyo pa akong katatawanan ng mga followers mo. At ngayon ikaw na ang biktima at ako na ang masama,” he wrote on his Facebook account.</p><div><iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/post.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fmconfiado%2Fposts%2Fpfbid02BwGRKvornHMpjtyKQnKhpdbT969dTT2SFrzxpUK2HD6qWFvo8LQ8vq6Nnm6xnPccl&amp;show_text=true&amp;width=500" width="500" height="761" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameBorder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></div><p>On August 9, Confiado called out the content creator’s post narrating a supposed rude encounter with the actor.</p><p>“Na-drag pangalan ko. Nanahimik ka. Negative ang sinasabi, although joke iyon. And it is a meme. Ang problem, hindi lahat naiintindihan. Paano yung hindi alam, including ako.  As I’ve said in my post, wala akojng kaaway, ni-iasang nakaaway, issue. Never ako na-involve sa gulo o incidente. Biglang ganito, parang Mali naman yun. Sana maging lesson sa Lahat ng “content creator,” he stressed.</p><p>While Ileiad explained to Confiado that the post was simply a “copypasta” meme—a block of text copied and pasted to provoke reactions from those unaware—Confiado insisted that it should not be dismissed as just a bad joke.</p><p>ABS-CBN is still trying to reach out to Ileiad, who has deactivated his social media accounts, as of this writing.</p><p>Confiado plays the role of a cop in Mikhail Red’s upcoming horror thriller “Lilim.”</p><p>“Excited! It is a Red film, kumpleto halos red family. I an honored,” he said.</p><p>“When I read the script, pagkalatag— iba to! Ang ganda nito. Not the typical Filipino horror films,” he added.</p>
